Have to share.

But just a few...I am trying to save some for the birth announcement.

Also, check back tomorrow. The canvas re-vote will be up all day.

Baby Fin.

Happy Mother's Day

I hope yours is as wonderful as I know mine will be!

Little "pumkin' nose"

We've been home for a day. Big G has been loving his new role of brother. He totally adores little G. He walks up to him at least 400 times an hour, touches his nose very gently and says "you've got a little pumkin' nose!" We have no idea where he got the phrase, no one remembers ever saying it. I guess it's just his own made up way of telling his new baby brother how cute he is. Really, I don't think the phrase could be more accurate. He has the most precious little nose ever...

Here's a few quick pics we've taken over the past 4 days. I still haven't done a real session yet, but I promise to do it before he hits the two week mark! It would be bad to tell everyone else to do that and then not do it with my own baby!

He's here and he's gorgeous!

Thanks for all the emails I have gotten to check in. Our new son Griffin was born on 4/29/08 (Tuesday) at 1:55 am. Sort of an unconventional time for a c-section, but I had developed some worrisome symptoms and the Dr. thought it was best to take him out! He was HUGE for almost 37 weeks, tipping the scales at 7lbs 2 oz and 18 3/4 inches long. I can't imagine how big he would have been in 2 weeks! YIKES. He had a little stay in the nursery for breathing issues, but was with me in the room after about 15 hours. He's now doing great and nursing and sleeping like a champ (knock on wood). I don't have the hookup cables I need to share pics right now, but rest assured when I am discharged I will come back and share plenty.
Any of you who have orders you are waiting on, please bear with me if they take a bit longer than usual. I will be tying up loose ends in the next few days if I can. Thank you to all of you who were thinking of me, and I'll be back with pictures soon!

OY Vey!

Y'all had to make it tough on me right? ;)
I am typing from a hospital bed right now (thank goodness for WIFI) and I will sort out the canvas contest tie sometime soon. We may be having a baby TOMORROW!

The aforementioned contest!

I am wanting to have a "rotating canvas" up at my display at Kidz Club in order to always be displaying some of my most recent work, and change things up a bit. I am probably going to change it out quarterly (give or take) and when an old one comes down, it will go to the family of whatever child was featured. So, I am going to let you all choose which canvas will be my first one to go up. The theme for choices this month is newborns (you can tell what I have on the brain). Please vote in the poll on the sidebar to the right for your favorite. Voting will close on Monday so I might have a chance of getting this up before the baby arrives!

This is it.

The last session I had scheduled, then cancelled, then rescheduled before my baby arrives. It was to focus on new little "A", but of course I had to grab a few of his 4 big brothers and his big sister as well. They were a very fun bunch! Look at the hair on this baby, I cannot get over it! Please do stay tuned. I will be back in the next weeks with general updates, a contest (yeah, I love em) and eventually pics of my own little blue bundle!

Tiny little man.

Now, before I get angry emails from Stacey, Terra, Betty, and a few other friends about why I am out doing sessions, I did clear this one with my OB under the condition that I would not be chasing any toddlers around like I normally do. Little "A" slept like a charm, and his adorable big sis "J" was the perfect model. Didn't have to chase either of them at all! I was just so bummed about having to cancel newborn sessions (when they grow so fast) that I was losing sleep, so I had to find a way to make it happen! This one makes me just smile from ear to ear! And so does this one....
