This is my dear friend Melissa who I have been friends with for over 15 years. High school friends who have kept in touch all this time. I love her like a sister. She is beautiful inside and out. Here she is with her daughter who will be one just a few short weeks. This photo truly captures the heart of this woman because you can see the love she has for her daughter. Mel, I love you so much! You are a wonderful mother and a generous, sweet friend. Thanks for loving me. :)

Our dearest Evangeline turned one...mmmm....about a month and a half ago. A friend of mine posted photos of her daughter's birthday and it reminded me that I never posted ANY for Evangeline's. What kind of mother am I, right? So here they are. She was delightful, as usual...except for causing trouble with her twin cousins. It starts young.

Sometimes I think that since now I am in the photography business, that there is this pressure for me to only post photos that are my best and ones taken with my new, honking big camera. Well, I have a confession to make. I own a smaller, thin, extremely portable camera that I keep in my purse for those times when my huge camera will just be a hindrance. Plus, if I lug my nice one around everywhere we go, it could get damaged which I couldn't bear. If I didn't have my small and thin one and only used my nice one, all of my photos would be of the kids in green pastures or a million zillion close up shots (I am partial to those!). You'd think that is all we do.

Well, below I posted a plethora of photos from now all the way back to March to show the things we have been doing. And these were taken with my smaller thin camera. Hi, my name is Denise and I am not afraid to admit I have another camera.

STRAWBERRY FEST

We found/almost ran over a turtle in our development.

As you can see, Eli's hit went up to the waist of the clown....

Evie basically wanted to do everything Eli did, so here she is wanting to take a swing at it.

The wind was whipping and it drizzled on us, but Eli had fun and that is all that mattered.

Every few days, I will look back in the rear view mirror and see this...they love each other.

evangeline has been with us for 12 months!
she loves sharp cheddar cheese, black beans and chicken breast
she gives us slobbery kisses when we ask
when we say 'woof!' she will say it too (her own version)
she is walking, or waddling it looks more like
she happily lets her brother tackle her something fierce
her daily activities include emptying everything, bookshelves, dvd shelves, cabinets.....
she loves touch and feel books and anything that isn't one she gets bored with
she still LOVES to be sung to...anything and everything will either make her laugh or calm her
she is a cuddler and will snuggle into your chest when she is being shy or feels tired
she is so fun loving and loves to be held upside down...over and over...and over....and over.....
happy first birthday evangeline! we love you!
