claire bear at 18 months

little claire was so cute... she loves to eat snow, but doesn't really love walking in it.



...she didn't even care that her boot fell off...

joe and klare have been apart for most of their marriage so far...joe was in iraq for a whole year! but now he's back and they've been gettin busy [in all sense of the word 'busy'] they've purchased their first home, and now they are expecting someone to fill their extra bedroom. congrats guys!



keeley [3 weeks new]

sweet baby keeley. when we were ready, she slept so good for us.

not your typical calendar!

i love non-traditional, unexpected things with quirk. very simple...all i did was have my lab print my images in 5x7 and had them mounted on 1/16" matboard. add an easel and viola.

makes these long winter months more cheery!



breckin at six months

always a pleasure to spend time with the C family... and what's better than sledding and cocoa on a day like this? it was craziness... all the outside ones were shot in about ten minutes and poor breckin began to cry [guess he doesn't like snow as much as J does...]... but totally worth the cold feet. hopefully they warm your heart on the coldest of days.
