do you remember THIS CUTIE from a few months ago? this was her today … so close to her first birthday.

what was that??? you want to see a close-up of those eyes? no problem! and you might be thinking i glossed up her lips … but they were just that cute all on their own!

she did so awesome today! it’s not like she knows us that well. she’s only seen me a few times … and even then i was shoving a camera in her face. lol! i think she just knows somehow … knows that i took good care of her brother for a few years … so she can trust me, right! she never even cried today … just was happy and content as can be. didn’t even phase her with all our craziness going on. nikolas being a little fussy today with his runny nose and cough. haley a little whiney and clingy today. alyssa and sarah just being theirselves … which is always good for some craziness. the girls just loved her too … they love all the babies that come here and fawn all over them. and i’m so grateful they were off school … because 3 babies at one time is a little hectic! lol!

and i’m loving these photos. because they were actually taken without a flash … very unusual for me. i’m terrible at indoor photography … i admit that. but i must have gotten the right spot in the house, by the right window, with the right natural light. pure luck … because i doubt i can do it again. lol!

and just to go down memory lane for a moment … this is her big brother sam. she has 2 big brothers … but sam was the one i got to watch for a few years. this photo was from about two and a half years ago … right before he left me for bigger and better things. lol! such a cute, sweet boy!

i have tons more photos to go through. i finished up all of vanessa’s photos today. but i have soooooooo many photos to still work on so that i can share them. i think i’ll do easter next. i can’t complain though … it’s been a long time since i’ve had my camera out this much. and i’m getting so many "everyday moments" shots … love it!
