Curls-No-More

Our daughter Kendall told us she wanted to cut her hair off...

I must admit, it did make me a little sad to see those

curls go...but, look at how cute it turned out!

*

She's doll-face anyway.....I love this girl :)

A peek at my family...

My hubby had to work twelve hours today,

so Father's Day wasn't quite the same without him :(

We decided to surprise him with some pics. I asked

the kids to write him a message and then when

he came home, we snapped a quick one with him

too.....he's still lookin' good after workin' twelve

hours too :)

Anywhoo.... I fell in love with this man 19 yrs

ago and after each of our children were born,

I fell in love with him all over again... I LOVE

seeing him be a father to our children. They

adore him, I adore him...the dogs even like him :)

We are very blessed.

One with my honey and I :)

This is how my kids REALLY act :)

Beautiful Brooklynn & Tanner :)....(Mishawaka, IN Newborn Photographer)

Brooklynn was a little bright-eyed when she

came for pics. I think she and her brother, Tanner,

we're really excited to have them taken :)

Both of them were fun to work with and Mom

is just over the moon to have her little guy & girl.

Lindsey & Eric, congrats to you both!

Next up, we need a family pic of you! :)

Little Miss Zarrah :) (Niles, MI Newborn Photographer)

Little Miss Zarrah came by for a visit! She was

a MONTH old when we had our session...but she did

surprise everyone by coming a month earlier than scheduled.

*

Mom & Dad read my "preparation instructions" and did everything

to a *T,* which is how we ended up with this.....

And then she did this...... ugh.....such a sweetie...

I LOVE those cheeks with this purple bonnet!

I'm imagining that this is how she was curled up

in her Mama's belly...minus the headband :)

Brein & Tom, thanks so much for letting me take part in this

special moment in your lives. Watching you coo over Zarrah

was the cutest thing to see. She is just precious :)

Busy!

I can't believe the third week of June is here.... Time has flown already and I

have so much more I want to do with my kids, my family, my business..my health.

There has been a lot going on so far for us. Our kids are changing schools.... from

one that we adore, to one that we pray will be a great opportunity for them.

The school they will be attending is one that I did in during my elementary years.

The school is being revamped, as it's last updates may have been when I was there...

a few years ago. The projects are completely volunteer-based, so we have done a

some of that so far and are looking forward to seeing what our community can do!

We've also been on the home stretch of baseball and dance recital's....We had 7 games

this week...two concession duties, three Meals on Wheels deliveries and I kept my

God-daughters here with me for the week. Yeah, it's been a little busy :)

Today, in my free-time, I spent my morning with Little Miss Emily....

A true slice of heaven. One of the most precious aspects of my *job*

are not only holding the babies...but seeing Mom & Dad get so excited

during the session.... Laura & Brent were so sweet to watch. Emily is

there second little girl & they couldn't be happier.
