Last year we had a mini (aka family) polka dot party for our sweetie.

In a few short weeks she will be three???  How can this be??   

 

Find the Good.
It’s all around you.
Find it.
Showcase it,
and soon you’ll start
believing it too.

I loved sending my grandma little care packages stuffed with cookies, chocolates and salt water taffy.

I won’t ever be able to send her a package again.

She left for Heaven early this morning.       

I will miss her love.

I will miss her kisses.

I will will miss her voice and her smile and her laughter.

I will miss her asking, “When ya gonna have another baby Katherine?  I need another great granddaughter. Get busy!”

Grandma I would send you a million packages to heaven if I could.

Thank you for loving me and making me feel like I was the most special person in world.

Good-bye Grandma. 

 I love you.

Sorry guys!

I couldn’t resist! 

 This post is dedicated to my friend, the fabulous & amazing Christy of Beach Brights.  Christy is one the most kind, encouraging and generous people I know. 

She’s feeling blue today and I wanted to cheer her up.  

So Christy it could be worse– 

You could come clean my kids AND my house!

1. Full Tummy = Deep Sleep
2. Use a space heater for a warm room & white noise.
3. An extra set of hands is mandatory!
4. Once baby in place, “swaddle” her with your hands for several minutes.
5. A heating pad works wonders to warm the baby spot.

I was over-the-moon thrilled when Trey and Kimberly invited me to travel to Texas to photograph their brand new baby girl!
