Every girl needs some girl time....

What a fun time I had with friends. And I highly recommend "RA" in Plano for sushi. It was so nice to get together to hen and catch up.

Ms. Ryleigh turns 6

always love a good black and white....

What an exciting day! Today we celebrated Ryleigh's 6th birthday. The event took place at the Young Chef's Academy in Frisco. What a fun and educational idea. The kids loved it. They got to make pizzas and decorate cupcakes. Ryleigh was the picture perfect birthday girl. It is always such a treat to get visit with people we love. And I love these two little girls!

Mrs. Shaffer

I had so much fun this afternoon capturing this beautiful mom. She came for head shots. We got those and they turned out great. She looked so pretty I just had to do some "fun" portrait shots. We had no children around to interrupt us so I could have gotten carried away. She looks stunning! I sometimes struggle black and white or color. I love them both! May God bless your new business venture!

Petty Family

I have been so blessed with so many referrals. My dear sweet friend introduced me to a very nice family who then introduced me to yet another nice family. Do you ever meet people that you feel comfortable with right away? Well, that was this family. (And so was the previous two families listed above) I had such a nice time on a beautiful, cool Saturday morning. More to come very, very soon!

My neighbors

I have some wonderful neighbors. Yes, they do all the traditional good things like get my mail, invite Zach over to swim and make sure my garage is closed. But their kids always make me want to grab my camera. And luckily I happen to have my camera on this day. Saturday was such a nice day to be outside. And I never pass up the opportunity to go escape to the Savoy's backyard. Little Emily was being so cute. I could not resist getting a few shots. And don't forget little Morgan. Is he not the cutest thing you ever saw? Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

When they get it!

It is the greatest feeling in the world. I have a typical, only child. He is extremely cautious. But he will not be out done by any other boy. (in particularly if he is slightly older) In April my in laws took us on a cruise. Zach would not even let his Grandy take him out in 5 ft of water on his shoulders in Mexico. He went from fear to fearless. And we had no lessons this year. What a joy to see him "go for it." And he does it over and over again.

WOW!!!

WOW is truly the best word to describe this past week. So, many blessings, so much happiness and so so much emotion. Zach started kindergarten this week. It was bitter sweet. I pray he keeps his eagerness to learn. He loved Latin and came home quoting Latin words. He got to go through the big kids line in the cafeteria. And today he asked me to let him walk in alone. That was heartbreaking.
But I have had such a blessed distraction this week. I started my new part time job. ALL of my kids are wonderful. They are so, so sweet and melt my heart. I am having so, so much fun teaching. My boss says being a preschool teacher is the best job in the world. And she's right!
