ratatouille

couldn't you just eat them up?  all so precious and sweet!  happy halloween everyone.  we are off to stir up some smiles.

a sneak peek

a friend had a cancellation for a photo session on saturday. i scooped up the available spot as soon as i could. here are two shots from the kids' session. i'd say the early bird caught the worm.

shiver me timbers

is this not the best, most handsome & scariest pirate you have ever seen? move over will turner! davis trogdon is now commandeering this ship.

i believe kindergarten is the most magical school year! especially with a teacher like miss mathis.  who wouldn't love school and want to get there every day as early as possible with days like "pirate day"?  avast, the kindergarten classes have aboarded the school and taken over.  here are some pictures at the beginning of the day....

even scurvy siblings ready to swab the deck

big and little.

davis is so proud to be a big brother again.  this kid has always loved babies.  and he REALLY loves his own baby.  davis and james get to know each other over a saturday afternoon movie watching shrek.  james eventually falls asleep and davis sits still with him for over an hour.  a marathon baby holder for 5 years old.

pleased as punch.

sweet kisses from a sweet boy.

davis listed all family members on easter eve for the easter bunny to know who lived here.

and more sidewalk chalk proclamations on easter afternoon.

the time has come. the time is near. little james is now here!
