[Easter Party | austin party photographer]

[what I hope he remembers | austin child photographer]

When my son was born so many moms with grown kids told me to enjoy each day, because the days will go by quickly. Each time I heard this I thought that they were crazy. That first year was the l-o-n-g-e-s-t year of my life, but they told me so firmly and so assuredly that [...]

It seems that we just missed the cold front, which was perfect for this adorable little outfit! We took this little guy’s two year pictures at the capitol earlier in the week. I can’t believe what a variety of expressions we got from him! I love that about this age!

[my nieces are the cutest]

While in Arizona, I met my new baby niece and caught up with the older two cuties.

My beautiful sister:

We made finger puppets:

I cannot believe she’s this big already.

And this little cutie is such an angel. I had to ask my sister is she EVER misbehaves. She said that she does… when her [...]

[mailing letters]

We got one of those sticker chain letters for kids, so we mailed stickers to eight friends, a few overdue thank you notes, and I finally caught up on letters to our grandmothers. We had sixteen letters to send out, and my son was super excited to “mail” them all.

I’m still amazed that such pretty [...]
