WOW!! One month since my last post..BOY am I doing bad at this...

I have LOTS of pics to make up for it though.. So here you go, the last month in review..





And for those that do not know- Luke collects pop tabs..so save them up, he loves getting them. He has been putting them in baggies to take to the Children's Hospital...















Sorry for the delay in the update....

There's always one in a group.....

Who can't get along with the others...
Here is a funny little outtake from a 'shoot' with Brian. I was trying to capture Brian's newly 'open' area in his mouth - YES, he lost a tooth. He came home from school, with his little tooth in a 'treasure box', and boy was he excited. Seems he and a good buddy of his lost a tooth today.

Well here's my adorable little guy with his missing tooth....and one of my big guy who seems to not be able to get along with the others...LOL.. actually I told Daniel to entertain Luke while I photographed Brian, and this was his interpretation of 'entertain'....

He's 9...and a half....

WOW...Has it really been 9 years since Daniel was born? Time has gone by so fast. Here are some recent shots of Daniel. He is so sweet..when it comes to helping Mommy practice with her camera. But man has he grown up..

And just so you know..these tracks are ONLY used on the weekends for the specials running through the Cuyahoga Valley...So he was in NO danger of a train coming...

I think I have the 4 dirtiest little boys...

My middle two guys just need to walk outside and BAM the dirt sticks to them. The oldest doesn't intend to get dirty, but the dirt finds him too. They have been digging a hole, and now it is approximately 4 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep. WOW.. They are woking on the tunnels for their hole now.

And if ya'll didn't know there are ONLY 83 more days until Christmas..
SOOOO.....

We will Never Forget...

On this special day, September 11, 2006 I know we need no reminders back to September 11, 2001. We can not live in fear, we can not live in hate and we can not live in anger. We CAN live with LOVE, with LIFE and with GOD... He will protect ALL who believe in HIM, all who LOVE HIM and give their lives to HIM.... I want to THANK Him today for all I have and all I have not, and for HIS love, for without it I could not have life...

"God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above...."

This 10 month old sure can move....

I had the privilege to photograph this gorgeous 10 month old boy. And BOY can he move and move FAST. I had a very hard time keeping up with him. Joseph has a walker which he moves very fast in, so fast we call it his runner, but this little guy could outcrawl Joseph in his runner!!

Thanks fir letting me have the joy of photographing your little boy..it was a blast...

Little Luke...

Here is a shot of Luke that truly show off how gorgeous his eyes are....

And here is a shot of the baby I got yesterday..could life get any better than this???


And, I thought I would share here the entry that won me first place out the Summit County Fair for Black & White Child/Children.

Well, it's official Dan and I are OLD...

Our niece has made us OLD... I really thought turning 30 was terrible, just kind of put me over the hill, you know.. but NO..I didn't get OLD until last night when I officially realized that I am old. My niece is now married. How did we get so old to have married nieces? Where did the time go?

This niece is very special to me. When I met her she was a little squirt with long hair, glasses and cute as can be. For a short period of time she and her mother lived with ME, and I would watch her play her Nintendo, or watch the Lion King over and over. She was just a little girl, MY little girl and now she is grown and married! And that leaves her Aunt Miscie OLD.

Well last night at her reception I snapped a few pics and I thought I would share them here with everybody..

Check out the cutie hiding behind the cake..Hope your arm feels better, buddy...

Congratulations C & J, WE LOVE YOU and are very proud of you..Never forget that..

And on last photo to share..The kids had a blast on this awesome OLD merry-go-round..

Had a great day today...

Today I got to take my niece and nephew out. Unfortunately I don't get to see these guys often. My fault totally!! I really LOVE these 2 and wanted to have some fun and just be with them. So, first we went to lunch with the grandparents..Oh thanks by the was my Meatball sub was YUMMY!! Then we went to an awesome park. I took both aside and just chatted with them and snapped some pics of the fun we were having just being togther and talking.

Em has quite the imagination and really used her body to express herself..

She was dancing here....

And here are some with her big brother... I love this first one...he's squeezing her and you can just barely see her adorable little laughing smile....

Hope you enjoyed....I do have more, MOM and grandmothers....

One tough guy...

Well, many of you know this is our tough guy. At least that is the impression he tries to give off. At his core he is a sweetheart. Always giving. If he has candy he gives it away, if he has any extras he always shares. Truly a people person. Always trying to be 'tough'...


Grandma made the hat for him and he LOVES it . He has always loved toy soldiers and gets excited when he sees servicemen....This conversion is a tad dark, but his expression is also...

One of my fav's from vacation...

Well here is possibly my favorite pic from vacation.. It was obvious how their great uncle enjoyed watching them play..

My niece....isn't she beautiful....

Here is my niece who just turned 7..YIKES..It it so hard to believe that it has been seven years since Em and Brian were babies.... They are 4 months apart, Brian is older, but shorter..lol.. Em just came from 2 tall parents and Brian came from one short Mama....

Here are some pics from her birthday party..

I LOVE YOU, Emmy.... Aunt Miscie
