"Hey Mabel! Whatcha' doin'?"

(Mabel looks over with glee)

"How do you like your book?! (tickle tickle)"

(Mabel giggles)

(Peak-a-boo game commences. More giggling.)


Oh gosh. Afternoons are delightful around here lately.

(okay mom, can we go eat now?)

K family.

It's so nice to know such wonderful people exist in the town I live in. This family has become so special and dear to me and mine.

When we headed out to the park for a Canadian winter adventure, we sure got one! We ended up battling deep snow covering most of the play ground and dodging (almost literally!) a grater plowing the parking lot and streets. We ended with fresh baked cookies Mom brought and a tobaggan play on the hill. Perfect afternoon in my books! Thanks K family!

The M family is growing!

Oh, the M family! It has been a couple years since little (and I mean little!) ~C was born. ( his pictures here: premmie, baby, toddler. )

Well, it just so happens that two days before my own Miss Mabel was born, this family had another (smidgen early!) baby- little C's sister S! She is cute as a button too. LOVE her! And oh, this family with their beautiful eyes! I love coming back to their home... it's busy, but there is so much love. In fact, as I was leaving Mom said they are expecting a number three- can't wait! But right now, a sweet little S and her big brother (who refers to her as Sissy- break my heart!).

Baby Roll

Hey all! Just trying out the blog with bigger pictures on Mabel's baby rolls. Will be posting a few entries in the next day or two! LOTS to catch up on! Yay for photos! Also, I am redoing the Facebook page, it's a little more than outdated as I head back into taking photos in the next few months, so don't mind it. Will be up and running better in a few! I hope the winter weather is finding you cozy and snug.

Thanks!

DLS retreat.

It's exciting to see other photographers alike, and it's even more exciting to spend a whole weekend with them. You laugh, you cry, you share and maybe you pick up a thing or two (or many). You might meet a magician, discover the meaning to something or see things in a new light.

This year we had the sideshow of watching Mabel and Ruby check each other out. I think they sized each other up as the other's squeak toy. So adorable. We also had a cute baby come by for pictures. 3 weeks old. I'm not sure how, but I managed to get baby pangs while I still have one. She was so sweet!

And now? I have a rekindled and validated love for something dear to me, les photos.

Little ~C is One.

Oh man! If I could eat kids like cake, this one would take 'em! He is too cute for words, and one funny boy! The day I came over, it was probably the darkest overcast I had ever seen in Edson, and this poor guy was teething up a storm- but that didn't stop him from dancing for me in the kitchen, throwing balls and smiling. So nice to know him and watch him grow up, he warms my heart.

The Family Tree Next Door.

Family, in a round a bout way. My sister's, husband's, sister's kids and Mika see each other once a year or so. This was a lovely spring day we went for a visit to their house and played. A sweet family, that I am happy to be connected to in some way. Also gorgeous too!

We had way too much fun! Uncle Kyle, for each of his nieces, is so kind to play princess, even if it's just a second. The picture after ~K blowing bubbles is him thinking he's giving a big smile. Every time mom said to smile, this is what I got. I'll take it! I'll take the little princess too. I'll take 'em all!
