Love Love Love

I have been wanting some pictures of the “big brothers” with their “Miss Pretty.” Valentine’s Day seemed like the perfect time to get a few shots. So I rigged up a photo backdrop and asked Maggi to come snap a few pictures for me. And out of the many, many pictures taken, there wasn’t a single one where all 4 of them were looking at her at the same time. But that’s just what happens when you work with children. I still think she did a great job and I love the results!

I love that the boys each got an individual picture. They are adorable!

This picture cracked me up. Evangeline’s tongue and Kingston revealing pretty much how they all felt at that point.

I LOVE this picture of the boys!

Thanks again, Maggi, for taking the pictures! I’m super tempted to invest in a DSLR to be able to better capture these memories. We shall see…

My Little Doll

One of the best things about having a girl is dressing her. I love all the frilly, lacy, girly clothes. And the headbands, bows, flowers, scarves, leggings, boots (need I go on?) to accessorize. It’s like having my own little doll to play with–but so much more fun!

Last year, while I was pregnant with Evangeline, I saw a baby dress at Target that I fell in love with. Problem was, it was $17.50 (on clearance!?!) I wouldn’t even spend that much for a dress for myself, much less a baby who would outgrow it in 2-3 months!

So I waited and kept checking Goodwill, hoping to find it. Imagine my sheer excitement when I saw it hanging on the rack one day!! I immediately purchased it and have been dreaming of putting my baby girl in it ever since.

She got to wear it for the first time today. Let’s just say, this dress did not disappoint. She looked absolutely precious in it! That called for a makeshift photo studio and lots of “mommy acting a fool” behind the camera.

I think she started to grow impatient with me while I tried to get a clear picture of her in her dress. Kai thought it looked like fun so he wanted to go next.

I was getting a lot of these kind of pictures.
