For my last session in Palm Beach, I was lucky enough to get to see “M” and spend some time with her cute girls.  We immediately got to playing in big girl’s bedroom with books and picking out shoes and dresses.  Baby “E” had on one of her great grandmother’s crocheted dresses….too sweet.  (My poor grandchildren will hardly get a popsicle stick hot-glued to a fuzz ball…much less hand-sewn clothing.  I’m soooo not crafty.)

Thank you for having me over….here’s a little sneak peek.

 

Miss “B” and I had a play date back in March when I was down here…..and her world has changed a little since then.

She now has baby brother “J” on the scene.  I think things have settled in nicely for everyone and it was fun getting Daddy and grandmother involved too!  Thanks for having me over again…

Whenever I come down to Palm Beach, I get to see sweet “J”.  She is one of those people that is nothing but happy and pleasant to be around.  Her little BeBe is quite the little rascal that won’t leave mama’s side.  I do love that she and my canine nephews get out and have a little walk every afternoon.  They love it.  (yes, I did just call 2 dogs my nephews….)

By the way……Happy Birthday BeBe.  You got it made in the shade little lady.

 

I met “C” the last time I was here down in Palm Beach…..and was lucky enough this morning to meet her cousin “C”.  They are both 4 and full of energy…and giggles.  We had a big time with both families and grandparents.

There was a little bit of a fashion shoot….changing locations and outfits.  Fun GIRLIE stuff.  So great to meet up with you again….this is a little sneak peek.

 

This morning Mama pulls up….we say our quick hellos and out of the back… comes… little, miss, precocious (with a voice that makes you think sophisticated lady, fluffy boa and long cigarette.)  The hot, pink, glitter shoes tell you differently.   Mr. “J” hops out and gets right in the mix and…. I’m pretty sure I’ve known these two for years considering how easy it is to chat with them.

What a fun way to start my morning….here’s your sneak peek….

 

How cool that I got to hang out with little Miss “A” this afternoon.  She’s in the 5th grade and super comfortable and confident.  She was happy to spend a little time with me and I am digging her love for her big, ole, sweet dog.  “A” played with me just long enough to rush in and get ready for soccer practice.  Love it.

It was nice afternoon with you…..thanks for being such a positive, happy, little chick.  It was fun.  I’ll let you know when the rest go up.

 

I’m back down in Palm Beach this week and first on my list were these cutie patooties.  “L” and I had so much fun while he was telling me about Spider Man and showing me his playhouse.  “S” knew exactly what today was about….aside from always giving me the big, blue eyes when necessary, he really enjoyed checking out the grass and relaxing on the sofa.  We had big plans to head down to the beach….but we wore ourselves out and called it a day.  Thanks for having me over to play….here’s your Sneak Peek.

 

Sweet brotherly love….

I’ve been super-busy lately with some projects that don’t necessarily get a blog post daily…….but I’ve been shooting/editing St. Philips’ Preschool pictures…..Fortunately for me I usually get in there to see their Halloween costumes……love it.

I also have been shooting an assignment for ‘Country Weekly’…..and will update as I get updated….~woohoo~…..And I have been up to my favorite place of all time….MUSC Children’s Hospital….so just a reminder to all…..that things could be a lot worse….count your blessings and hug~kiss your munchkins.  All you have to do is take one step up there to say, “Life ain’t so bad after all.”

I love me some Halloween……Happy Birthday to my big brother, Paul – Coolest. Birthday. Ever.

A little Sneak Peek into what’s hangin’ in my house.  Hope Halloween is Ghoulish, Spooky, Sweet and Fun for you.  We’ll be hanging in our neighborhood….with our traditional chili and cornbread with an open door to anyone hungry in the neighborhood.  My husband will be resisting the temptation of scaring the pooh out of the little ones in our hood.  Mmmm…..not yet….maybe next year. Whahhaahhahhaaahh.

A little bit from last night…….I was up in “hair and make-up” getting my daughter all made up into a creepy clown and an ole hag for myself (sadly, I just took an eyeliner and went over the already-existing lines in my face!)……but I missed the good light to get around and take pictures of all the cute neighbors…..

“Where were you on the night of……!”  (Poor little “T”)

Mmmm….perfect costume for this one….

This is what you get when you mix a 14-year old…..and some dry ice….and a black light….awesome.

This is where we were this weekend…….Kicking it old school with our church up in the North Carolina mountains at Kanuga.  No cell service….no t.v…..no internet.  Good…old fashioned…family fun.

We had a cabin with two other families…..and we went apple-picking, hiking, threw the football, played music, did a high-ropes course and laughed, laughed, laughed.  Great time for the whole family.  My favorite part?  Meal time…..because I didn’t have NOTHIN’ to do with it…before, during OR after.
