Preview x 3

This week my kids were off visiting my parents. They were crazy busy enjoying a week of swimming, art lessons, movies and Sea World... Admittedly, I'm a bit worried that the crash back to earth will be a little tough on them tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it's a soft landing.

While they were gone, I had three big goals: get some work done, get some triathlon training under my belt, and tackle several house projects. The house projects were sorely neglected, unfortunately, but I did get in the work and the training. I also got to enjoy leisurely dinners with my husband, which more than makes up for the lack of progress elsewhere. So it's all good, and I'm ready to welcome them back with open arms and a big, fairly relaxed, smile.

Three of the four sessions this week were yummy little kids -- all of whom I've photographed before. Get ready to feast your eyes on this big batch of adorableness.

First, the curly girly who is seriously bursting with personality. She literally threw herself into my arms when I arrived and gave me the biggest hug you could ever expect from a body so small.

After that, I documented this hunk of love at six months. Did you know that there's a new sheriff in town? He's tough and totally smoochable. :)

Finally, I got to chase around a two-year-old who is just as darling as his big brother. After we wrapped up shooting, we went to Sally Loo's -- sooooo tasty -- for a scone and quiche. Is there a better way to finish a session? I think not.

Phew. That's a lot of cuteness in one place, huh?

Baby Sister

This little beauty came to me during the whirlwind last week of school, and she was a welcome breath of fresh air during an otherwise nutty time. I was more than happy to grab shots of her, as well as a few with her gorgeous older sisters.

Eight

Forgive me if I've blogged about this in the past, but there are two things that I do faithfully each year. (Not always ON TIME, mind you, but they do get done.)

I write a letter to each kid on his/her birthday, and I photograph him/her in a specific item of clothing. My boys each have a shirt of their dad's, and the girly has a dress of mine. The idea is that one day I'll pair the photos with the letters and have a pretty cool birthday present when they turn 18. Or 30.

Anyway, I finally sat down to organize some things today and couldn't help opening the file of photos we took when Mr. Crazy turned eight a few weeks ago.

And for fun, a couple of shots from when he turned five. I think I loved this session best of all.

Ah, they grow so fast...
