busted...

I was talking to my dad this morning on the phone, and realized the house had a strange quietness to it, so I went looking for Norah, and this is what I found. She was taking a dip in the Eucerin lotion bottle. Who knows how much she ate. She was quite proud of herself, and then quite angry when I took it away. hmmm....cute, but what a mess.

just chillin'

we were on our way to "Frosty Boy" for some ice cream....Norah was just relaxing, enjoying her stroller ride. We are loving this extra warm weather ...I honestly wouldn't mind skipping winter and going right back to summer.

steak and shake...

A little over a month ago we went to "Steak and Shake" with Uncle Matthew and Grandpa...

the waitress gave us a bib and a hat, and of course...crackers.

at a photo shoot.

Norah came with me last week to a photo shoot I had for a little girl about Norah's age. They played together and really enjoyed the old playhouse in the back yard. I was taking alot of pictures of the little girl, but couldn't resist getting a couple of my adorable Beanie.

another cute dress..

Norah has so many adorable dresses. This one is from her Auntie Marie, she gave it to Norah almost a year ago, and it finally fits her! =) That is how most outfits have gone for her. Wednesday is Norah's 15 month check up.. we will let you know how she is doing.

Friends....are a treasure

We had a good bye party for our dear friends Dan and Tina Nichols. Tina and I have been friends since we were 13 years old! We became instant friends and that friendship has just grown over the years...to where our husbands are good friends. We have wonderful memories with them. Our favorite was the road trip we took to NYC and Washington DC together. We had a blast together. We now have watched our families grow with our beloved children....and recently we had to say good bye. It's hard to think that they are gone, and that we can't just call them up and visit for the evening, or watch "24" together.

We wish them the best!! We know God is directing them to New York, we will just be scheduling some of our vacation time to head out East to the Nichols Diary Farm. So Dan and Tina, if you are reading this... YOU ARE MISSED. Please keep in touch.

Your Friends....

Jayme, Melissa, and Norah

day in the life of norah...

First you find your "snuggles" and carry him around for awhile.

Second, do your stretches at the beginning of the day.

Third, go somewhere fun like the church carnival and jump around.

Fourth, always always...look cute.

successful first year.

I am nearing the end of wedding season, after tomorrow, I have only three more scheduled for the year. As I look back at this year, I am just amazed at how much God blessed my business. I have learned so much about photography and having a small business. This is my advertisement that is going in the bridal magazine that I used last year, and ended up getting 10 weddings from it. So I have high hopes for next year also.

I can honestly say...I LOVE MY JOB. It has allowed me to earn some extra money and still be able to stay home with Norah. That has been so nice this year. So spread the word to all your friends and family for me. I am always looking for more work. Thanks!!!! =)
