2012!

Wow! Is it really already 2012, and did I really just turn 29, and will me daughter really be 2 in only a few short months!!! It's true, and I love it! It has been months since I have posted on my personal blog. The Fall and early December months were very busy! Lots of photos in the fall colors, and family photos for Christmas cards.

Miss Avayah is 20 months old going on 9. She thinks she is a little Diva!

Here is a grab bag of photos :)

There is truely nothing better in life the the joy of a child!

Morning at the Dog Park

We have finally gotten our dogs up to date on all shots, allergy meds etc etc. We can now go to the dog park!!! YEAH!!!!

A few miles from Cottage Grove there is a beautiful dog park in the country on a little river. Angel and Scooter loved it. They ran, and swam and ran and ran and ran. It felt so good to let them just be dogs!

Avayah decided she is ready to sit big girl style in her stroller. She loves it. Hasn't fussed on a run or walk since!

Daddy's never ending Circus baby act!

I have to say Avayah loves it, and they are both so good at it!

It was NOT easy to get them to site for a photo!

Last day

Today was Avayah's last day with Amy. I was actually very sad. It is hard to leave your baby with a complete stranger,and once you trust her and know your daughter is starting to learn her, it is hard to just take it away. Her beautiful daughter Chloe always seemed so excited when we'd come through the door in the morning. When I'd pick to pick her up she'd ask "will she be crawling next time I see her" (Chloe will be 4 soon). She was such a joy to see in the mornings.

I worked at the coffee shop today on wedding photos, until I couldn't take how cold it was and left. I picked up Avayah a little earlier than normal since I was so close to Amy's house. It is strange that she has only been going to Amy's for a few weeks, but I was sad. I just wanted to give her a big hug and say Thank You!

On our way home we stopped at a couple garage sales. Our town was littered with them. I purchased a few items for photo use. I also purchased a few old crates from a lady off of craig's list today. She also does photography, and is slowly starting to get out of it. I told her to contact me anytime she would like to sell things. The crates are great. One is an old apple crate, with the label still on it. I love it!

After daddy came home we did a quick family photo shoot. My mom is putting together a family photo collage, and we had yet to get a good family photo. They turned out good, all but for Miss Avayah not smiling. She smiles all the time now, but she had nobody in-front of her to smile at. Oh well. There will be more, many more :)

Our Happy Little Family

Daddy's Love, and a big smile for him!

Love you baby girl...you are growing so fast.

The End.
