photo by Amanda May Portrait Art Today I had success. My girl and I laughed together. She is learning to be silly and I cherish the moments where laughter fills the space in my home. She plays peekaboo. She blows zerberts. She looks at me with her sweet, toothy grin and I know everything in […]
For your viewing pleasure … my sweet little she sock monkey.
The more mobile Jemma becomes the less time I have for quiet activities – also know as blogging. This is the season I’m in an rather than fight the constant go-go-go, I’m embracing it – camera in hand … On the rare occasion when she isn’t crawling and standing, Jemma still loves to be wrapped […]
My dear Jemma turned 9 months old on July 2nd. And – my oh my – I’m completely head over heels in love with this little darling. I’ll apologize now for the swarm of pictures to follow. It’s really hard to pick a few favorites when she is so busy with her expressions and movement. […]
These days we are never short of sweet pictures of Jemma. But family pictures … they seem to be few and far between! I’m trying to do a better job of snapping pictures of all three of us so we have memories of being together :) This one is my new favorite. We were steppin’ […]

A crawling babe must be contained on occasion. But not for long! Jem doesn’t let me forget that she feels a bit “caged” when I set her in the crib! At least she smiles her sweet gummy grin :)
Having this little lady visit me at lunch everyday makes the work week much brighter! As is my norm, thinking about Thursdays (my Friday) makes me all giddy and chipper. I can’t wait for the weekend! We’re heading north to visit my family and celebrate my baby sister’s high school graduation. She’s quite the stud […]
Lovie dressed up in her fanciest yellow clothes for her Aunt Katie’s Master’s graduation. Before heading out for the almost 3 hour ceremony which she did surprisingly well at we took a few pictures. The rest of graduation and Dominic’s birthday celebration are on my Mom’s camera, so you’ll have to hold out for those […]
