he is getting so big!

It was nice so to keep myself going crazy from the waiting game I'm playing right now :( I took E outside so he would leave his poor sister alone while she was trying to color. He is losing that "baby" look so fast..so here is my little man at 16 months old.

I'm going to be running around for a while..

getting ready to see my hubby after almost a whole year!!! Our turn is FINALLY here for R&R and I can not WAIT! I'm sure I will be on here posting pictures at some point but I wanted to give everyone the heads up that I am about to fall off the face of the Earth for 18 blissful days! Now off to run some more errands and finish cleaning the house and then hopefully a haircut! I haven't been this excited about something since the day E was born! These have to be the slowest days of the whole deployment! So I'm putting our wedding picture up so I can stare at it, I can't believe he should actually make it home for our anniversary!

Little Bitty Baby

almost makes me want another..almost but not quite ;-)

had to cheat and share one more from the trip..

the first day we got there I was checking out the room and saw this out the balcony window! I love the Smokey Mountains!

Jellyfish!

We headed to Gaitlinburg last weekend and the kids had a blast checking out all the sea creatures, I could have stayed and watched these Jellyfish swim all day long!

finally uploading!

The weather has been WONDERFUL here, it is 70 degrees outside today and wow I did not want to come inside and clean! But we did have a blast blowing bubbles today and yesterday! These are hot off the camera, I didn't even resize (oops) but oh well, I'm off to enjoy some more sunshine before winter comes back and smacks us in the face again!

first day of dance!

just a few quick shots put into a storyboard to remember C's first day of ballet/tap! She did great and had a blast! Now mommy has to be careful not to get carried away buying cute ballet things from discount dance!

well, not quite from today..

but that cold front made it's appearance and I didn't even touch my camera today! This is another view of Dunbar Caves though and I tried out the rounded corners action I found on Coffeeshop PS/PSE Actions Blog (love that site!). I'll work on getting actual new pictures tomorrow when C goes to dance for the first time!

Dunbar Caves

I can't wait for the weather to stay warm so I can go explore some more! I think this place has a lot of potential for great pictures!

adding one more picture from yesterday!

busy day!

we finally thawed out around here and today it was close to 60 degrees! I did a mini session this morning for some Valentine's Day photos and then a family session at Dunbar Caves! Here is a quick peek at the family session, I have a lot of editing ahead of me!
