matching…268/365

I love love love putting the boys in matching clothes! It’s a pain cause I have to make sure that both have the same items clean (unstained) but it’s always worth the hassle!
Aren’t they so cute!?

My Dad (the crazy Grandpa), taught the kids that a bear lives in the ‘meadow’ behind their house! This is a picture of the boys searching for the famous Koala Bear that’s hiding out back there!!!

Knowing there is one around…but not knowing where he is!

Welcome to a brick bungalow on a quarter acre lot. This is an attractive 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. Ceramic tile & laminate flooring less than 1 year old on the main floor. New dark maple kitchen cabinets with breakfast bar. In floor heating with ceramic tiles and extra large tub in 2nd bath! A cozy finished basement with a brick bar and fireplace, games room and ample sitting area! Fully fenced yard with mature trees and a detached shed with electrical. Many more updates throughout: garage door, soffit and fascia, shingles, windows…the list goes on!
Did I mention that most of this stuff is under 1 year old???????
The list does go on…a neighbor who snow blows the laneway and watches the kids when I need! LOL…I’m going to miss this place!

I love maternity and newborn sessions! Thank you “J” for packing so many props! Love the ‘relish’ container, ultra sound pictures and three outfit changes!!! It will really make your session YOU! Keep that baby bakin’ so we can go outside for some more poses!

Finish what you start! 263/365

Doesn’t it feel great when you complete a project!
I started this when Eric was born.
The last space was “first day of preschool”…so it was blank for a long time…until Sept 8th, 2009!!! I’m so glad I stuck with it…even if the printing was a total pain (because of the small spaces)!! I love it!

Our family at our farm!!!! 262/365

WOW…this is exciting! Despite the squinting eyes, I love this picture! It tells so much of our family!
In the background you can see the structure for our new Cover-All shelter, the free stall barn and the old barn! You can also see the ‘tracks’…they run through our property…We are standing in our hay field!
Another thing you may notice if you look close enough..in my hand is a remote timer! I used it to take the picture! So I set the camera on a tripod and use a remote control to ‘take the pic’. I find it very hard to get the kids to look at the cam when I do it this way…so a ring pop served as good bribery! (I also let them press the button here and there!)

Saturday Session! 260/365
In : Uncategorized, Posted by dawn on Sep.09, 2009
On location is the BEST!
I love receiving an invitation to someone’s home or farm..finding fun, unique locations and poses for their family!
This session was great!! It was my first time driving through the hay field to find a nice fence line, old trees a bit of shade! It turned out to be an awesome spot! In the barn with the goats and a stop in front of a faded red barn wall! PERFECT!
Thanks for a fun time, your session will be posted shortly!
