So I have been pretty bad about updating this corner of my world.  It doesn’t mean that I haven’t been shooting it just means that I have been so busy trying to keep up with life that this blog has taken a back seat.  That being said, hold on for me I am going to do a super quick recap.  Babies!  It’s what the focus has been on and well I have two especially sweet little ones that just turned a year old to share with you.

Sweet Little C

silly little girl :)

love those smiles!

and super handsome C

It’s been so great to see these little ones grow this last year, but it really feels like I was just shooting their newborn shoots and baptisms.  Why oh why do little ones have to grow SO quickly?!?

things have been pretty sleepy around here lately but I promise to be much better soon.  We are currently trying to get our sleep patterns under control around here and hopefully when that happens this Mommy will have a little more time on her hands.  Aside from the lack of sleep we don’t have any complaints- life is just peachy right now.  Thanks for continuing to check in, really we do love you all and miss you when we are away!

2009 was filled with lots of good memories…

January: We went to the Winter Park Farmers Market, took some “surprise” pictures for my Mom and enjoyed the cooler weather.

February: Jamie and I traveled traveled to St. Augustine to celebrate my Mom’s 50th birthday in style with the help of my brother and sister-in-law.

March: We went canoeing, spent lots of time with Piper outside and in the water and traveled to Chicago to vist our dear friends Aimee and Marc where we ate good food, visited the “bean”, and relished in the joy of good company.

April: We colored eggs, always had fresh flowers in the house, enjoyed time in the hammock, hosted our annual Shrimp Boil and celebrated Pipers 2nd Birthday…

May: We traveled to California, celebrated Kenny’s graduation, and found out that we were expecting!!

June: I finished my last year of teaching, said goodbye to dear school friends and we shared the exciting news with our families.

July: We (I) rested a lot (first tri-mester sleepy style), baked a whole bunch and spent a ton of time pool side!

August: We swam some more, went through old photo albums, organized and cleaned out our once spare rooms in preparation for the baby.

September: We announced officially that we were having a boy, started setting things up in his room, and continued to document the progress of my ever growing bump.

October: We celebrated Jamie’s birthday, said goodbye to my feet, hosted a pumpkin carving party and took a two week road trip that included stops in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Raleigh and Charleston.

November: We counted our blessings and all that we are thankful for with a large group of Jamie’s family, continued with our baby preparations and I baked some more.

December: We visited friends in Tallahassee, celebrated a very special little boys first birthday, decorated the house for the holidays, attended a shower thrown in our little guys honor and celebrated the holidays with family and friends.

I love to look back and see just how blessed we have been throughout the past year but I am also really looking forward to all that 2010 is going to bring.  Hope your 2009 was as wonderful as ours…

I have been away for awhile and well honestly, although I will try, I cannot promise to be back in any type of regular fashion.  For you to get an idea of where my hubby and I have been hiding, check out a few of our pics from our fabulous Chicago trip.  That city was SO much fun!!
