Sessions from this past week

Family session on Monday




So I was going to move, but now typepad is ticking me off. At the beginning of the new year I'm going to invest in a blog from Blu (who my site is with) so for now I'll stick with blogger.

Faust Park Session

It was so hard to choose just a few to post, so I posted a bunch. :) I was so happy to finally meet "H" and his mommy. Long story short, his mommy and I have known each other since "H" was a baby and Jack was around a year and a half. They both suffered from acid reflux. "H" is better and off of meds, Jack, unfortunately is not, but acts as if he has no pain. Anyway, I enjoyed doing these so much, such a cutie patootie! 

Our salt dough project

So I checked my anxiety at the door and we made salt dough on Monday. :P The kids had a really good time and I do think that it killed, oh at least an hour and a half of the afternoon. If you want the recipe, go to Karen's blog, which is linked on the side with my other photog friends' blogs. She did it with her kids first. :) Tomorrow I'll post the second day, we baked them and let them harden and then yesterday they painted their figures, shapes, whatever.

American Girl Place


Always after we go away, so badly needing a break, I wonder, why in the HECK did we go away? We come home and things are CRAZY, laundry to do, things to clean, our internet was out for two days, Jack got an illness on Saturday, I contracted it Saturday night, the girls have it now... UGH why did we go away? 

Anyway, here are photos from day one in Chicago. 

We went to the American Girl Place and the Lego store. It was COLD COLD COLD. 

Stunning

Need I say more? She is stunning, her eyes, well they just draw you in... such a doll. 

Thanks to mom and dad for allowing me to photograph her.
