Beach trip - Part 1

When the husband's parents asked if we wanted to join them for a beach vacation in Panama City, we said yes please! One "big kid" car seat, three suitcases, a trunk full of baby gear, and a surprisingly calm 6 hour drive, and we were there. Hayden started out pretty terrified of the ocean and leery of the sand, but as the week went on, he became a regular ol' beach baby, happily munching on Cheerios under the shade of his umbrella and dipping his toes in the ocean with the help of his Dada and uncles. We miss you, beach!

Beach baby

I love them.



Don't you?

More beach pictures to come!

The E Family

I'm so late posting pictures of this adorable family since I spent all last week at the beach, but....Here there are! Finally! Mama E is a friend of mine, and they had just celebrated Mr. C's first birthday. He's such a curious baby - exploring grass and leaves and pointing things out to Mommy and Daddy! And he LOVES to play rough with his Daddy (as does my own little boy!) Must be a guy thing :) Thanks E's for allowing me to capture a few precious moments of your life as a family of 3!

The E's

Who is this precious family of three?





Find out SOON!

Baby love

My son. My guy. My smoochie. My music loving, pillow attacking, jumperoo bouncing, dad wrestling, banana eating baby love. Here's to 10 wonderful months of life!








Hayden's Uncle Charlie already plans to blackmail him with the nakie pictures!

The lake - reloaded

In addition to snapping pictures of 2 of the world's cutest 13 year olds, I also got a picture or 2 (or 50!) of my own little angel! This was Hayden's first trip to the lake since he was 2 months old, and he played - and slept - much harder this time around.

Girl just wanna have fun!

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow - I mean pink! - polka dot bikini....My sister Abby and her friend Emma had lots of fun posing for me a couple of weekends ago at the lake. They just make being 13 (or ALMOST 13 in Abby's case) look so easy!
