I got slower, and he got faster!

THIS little guy is VERY active!  As my belly gets bigger, I am definitely slowing down, but was able to get some great shots... when I was able to catch up to him!  Visiting Grandma here in "sunny" Florida, (I say sunny because we missed a serious rainstorm by minutes!), I met up with this cutie-pie at a local park where we ran around, fished, played trucks, tricycle, and collected pine cones.  Whew.  I needed a nap after this little guy....  and a nap I did take :)

Jumpin' Josie gives big Cheese!

This is one-year-old Eden, aka Jumpin' Josie!  She gave us HUGE smiles this time around... and with good reason!  We had her favorite horsey, bubbles, and a super cute matching outfit (complete with matching necklaces!) with Mom, who graced us with her lovely singing voice during the shoot to produce those smiles :)  And seriously, that song has been in my head since the photo shoot two days ago!  Oh well, I suppose it's time for me to start learning some Mom-n-Tot songs ;)      ~MPC

He plays hard!

This little kiddo is the happiest, smiliest, cutest little guy on the planet!  (Yes, he's my nephew!)  Unfortunately, he was suffering from croup cough, so on this day, he was VERY serious most of the playdate.  I've never seen such serious play!  But he was able to muster up a few giggles for us here and there... mostly when playing with Mom or Dad :)      ~MPC

Not just because they are related to me....

...but is this family gorgeous or what?  Talk about white-picket-fence type of family :)  Maybe I'm biased because it's my sister, but I think not!  We travelled a whole 4 minutes from Mom and Dad's house to Whitford park, which might I say, the last time I was there in high school, I did NOT appreciate the beauty of that park!  Anywho, we were actually down IN the creek...  lots of fun stepping stones and fallen trees to climb on :)  Definitely one of my favorite shoots while I was home!        ~MPC
