Photo Session

We have really wanted some professional photos of Annalise and our family for quite some time, and we have a fabulous friend, Janelle, who is an unbelievably good photographer. We did a photo session with her on Friday, and she already sent us a couple photos so we could see how they came out. Can you believe these!?! They are absolutely phenomenal. She has such a gift. We will always treasure these photos of our precious baby.


I think she looks like a little fairy in this photo.

What Annalise does while I'm at work . . .

So, as some of you know, I'm back at work full-time and Annalise spends two mornings a week being taken care of a long-time friend of mine, Sonja, who has a baby one month younger than Annalise. This has been a huge blessing since Annalise adores Sonja and her two kids. When we arrive in the morning Annalise smiles and gets very excited and begins looking around for her friends. One day I brought Annalise to Sonja's and she and Charlotte were dressed in the same outfit, which was especially amusing since we didn't know they had the same outfit. We didn't manage to take photos that day, so we had to redress the "twins" and take photos on another occasion. Aren't they darling? You have to admire Sonja's baby-care-taking and photo-taking talents considering these are photos of two rapidly crawling and distractable babies plus a 3-year old and she took these by herself.
