Happy 3rd Birthday Julian!!


Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Julian! Happy Birthday to you! Well, today was Julian's 3rd birthday party. What a beautiful sunny day with good friends, pizza, cake, and lots of little ones running to and fro. We had such a blast. It took no time to put Julian down for a nap afterwards :) Julian, we love you so much! Mama and Dada are so proud of you. You are a beautiful child of God. We are so honored to call you our son. You are a reward from the Lord. We are looking forward to what God has in store for your future; we know He will bless you.
Psalm 127:3 ~ Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.
Wanted to also do a little namedrop here. If you are looking for a unique gift or just a cute little something for your child(ren), go to www.SoSewSassy.etsy.com . Jennifer is a friend of mine who has a great gift of creativeness. She does custom sewing, embroidery, and monogramming. She made Julian's shirt (above). She also embroidered some beautiful baby burp cloths for me, actually they're for my new little man. I will post pictures of those after he is born. Check her out on FB too!

Props 4 Me!!!








Today was a great day, my first official day of Maternity Leave from work. After dropping Julian off at MMO, I was able to get some errands crossed off my list. During my errand running, I stopped by Marshall's. Can I just say...I Love That Store! Marshall's sells close to everything you need from clothes, shoes, linens, books/stationery, home-decor, fragrances. Anyway, before I become a walking billboard, let me get back to the great finds. I have been looking for a new basket/photo prop for newborn and baby pictures and found this amazing round basket. I cannot wait to use it. I also found this cute little kindergarten stool on clearance! (Just in time for Julian's 3rd Birthday shoot) Hopefully he will smile for mommy and not run away giggling like he usually does. We will certainly try. The new blue textured yarn is from Michael's. I plan to knit a new eggie and cocoon for my new baby boy to model in his newborn pics. The littlest things amuse me:) Until next time...
Love & Blessings,
Karrie

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!
Here we are...the three of us, soon to be four! Our new addition is due in about 4 weeks. I will be taking a maternity leave from photography the month of May, unless we have already made arrangements for a session at my home. I want to eat up all my time with my boys and enjoy this new little man that God has blessed us with. Of course, I will be announcing his name and posting pictures on the blog after we get home from the hospital. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes.
I hope everyone has a splendid spring. Enjoy this beautiful warm weather.
Love & Blessings,
Karrie
