Mr. Potato Head is Pepaw.

Tonight Charis was playing with her Mr. Potato Head & shows me her creation. She says, "Look, it's a mustache. It's just like Pepaw."

Note the red toenails & glass slippers. Pepaw has some explaining to do.

Hunter Lily Craig

We are so blessed to welcome Hunter Lily to our family. She is already such an addition that we can't resist to love. Charis & Porter love her already & do not seem to think it odd at all that she would come live with us. We thank everyone who has helped in this new transition in our lives.

Studio Practice Continues

I still haven't perfected my lighting techniques, but I have plenty of willing models to work with. Here's a new set of practice shots.

I'm so excited...

I have been waiting patiently for about a week for my studio equipment to show up & it came today. Boy, did I have a good time setting everything up. Of course, I had to try it out on my guinea pig who is so willing & eager to assist. I love being married to a ham bone...


Daddy laying the smack down on jr. ham bone. I thought it was cute, so I had to throw it in too!

Mike & Kate E-session

I had a fun afternoon taking Mike & Kates' engagement pictures. I'll be doing their wedding next June, and I have a pretty good indication it's going to be a blast! Can't wait to hang out with you guys again!
A red bridge...


...and a red covered bridge!
How I LOVE covered bridges! My excitement could hardly be contained when they told me there was one close by.

How Can I Hold It Together?

Louie Giglio shares the important role of Laminin. I think of it as a *wink* from God.

Thank God for family!

Today my mom and I were finalizing our baby plans of when she would be able to come and stay & all I could think about is how precious family is. I never want to take family for granted.

This is my parents with their two grandbabies!

More Family Fun Time.

Nanny came to visit/clean for a day before the baby comes, and she took a minute to decorate a mini pumpkin with Charis & Porter. Charis has named the pumpkin, Claudia.



For several days now this has been Charis' attire. She's Cinderella with her "bibbity-boppity-boo".
