Hayden has the coolest parents...

Today we had Hayden's third session in his baby plan and decided to do something a little more funky - an urban session! I have a lot of little girl sessions in these types of settings, but not many boys. Which is funny, because HOW CUTE are his little jeans and trendy shirt?

My new favorite store (DANGER!!! DANGER!!!) is PLAY, and Hayden was decked out, head-to-toe in his cool new clothes. His Mom and Dad agree that the clothing is amazing, totally cool, and the sheer number of "OMG-I *must* have this" items will make your head spin. And no, I sadly don't get any kickbacks for endorsing them...I just LOVE their clothes for my own two munchkins.

After a while we started picking up rocks, then sticks...then throwing them. Hey, whatever gets you to look at me and my camera works for me!

I love this little behind the scenes shot. I have an awesome one of Hayden standing in the window...but this one is so blog-worthy, with Hayden's expression as Dad helps him stand securely. (you have to click on it to really get the full effect)

Big brother, little sister...

Thursday was my day to play with Hudson and Sadie.

Well, Sadie did a lot of staring and eating (and more than a little pee-pee'ing (all that milk had to come out at some point!))...she was a very alert five week old!

With a brother around as cool as Hudson, I'm not surprised! I wouldn't want to miss the next cool thing he might think up...

Like jumping off his bunk bed!

(Do you know that his parents let us do this more than once without coming in to find out where those gigantic thuds echoing through their house were coming from? Now that is trust people!...I hope they aren't afraid to have me back for Sadie's six month session in a few months!) ;)

Darn, darn, darn it all!

Brandon didn't get the liver last night after all. So the emotional rollercoaster slows, only to pick up speed when the next call comes in.

Brandon and family-you guys are simply amazing!

Pray for Brandon

I had the most amazing phone call tonight from Jenny Scott...Brandon's mom got 'the call' and they are on their way to Houston so he can receive his new liver.

Please pray for this special family, and this wonderful little boy. His mom is all alone in Houston and I'm sure is going through a gamut of emotions.

Also, remember the donor's family tonight. Someone out there made the courageous decision to donate their child's organs, so that the passing of their precious one would not be in vain, and another life could go on.

I'm going to peer in on my sleeping babies and hug them tight.

Brandon-stand strong and fight little man!

Vote for Sugar!

Is it that time again?

Late last year we had a fun rendition of 20 questions. You posted your questions (either via email OR by posting in the comments section) and I answered them all!

I feel terrible that I missed a question posted a while ago asking what kind of lens I use.

So maybe it's time for another round?

Ask away! Any question is fair game!

Which is the bigger baby?

What do you get when you add

one sleeping, precious, 8 day old little guy named Jack


and one six year old bichon frise named Pumpkin (who was here first, just so everyone knows)?

A competition for the biggest baby:

(I'm not sure who wins...what do you think?)

Luke smiles...

Luke is growing like a weed! It was such fun to see the joy on his face (and his parent's) at everything he saw.

He's just one of those happy little souls that is just so very happy with life in general.

I wanted to take him home!

(but I don't think Dad would have let me)
