FOR EVERY MOM!

Mom's Overture by Anita Renfroe
SOMEBODY ELSE HAD SENT ME THIS AND I LAUGHED SO HARD BECAUSE THEY ARE THINGS WE HAVE ALL SAID. NO BAD LANGUAGE FINE FOR THE KIDS TO HEAR, SO PRESS PLAY, TAKE A LISTEN AND HAVE A LAUGH FOR THE DAY.

HAPPY FALL YA'LL

HAPPY FALL YA'LL

It's Officially Fall

Love this time of year! Love the colors, the college football games, love cute little pumpkins like Miss "S".

MY BABY

STILL TRYING TO GO STRONG ON CATCHING UP WITH MY KIDS SCRAPBOOKS. WORKING CURRENT WHILE ALSO WORKING ON THEIR BABY IMAGES. JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU.

UNDERSTANDING

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR BEING UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I KNOW WE NEED THE RAIN, BUT I KNOW EVERYONE MAKES ARRANGEMENTS AND CHANGES SCHEDULES SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING WITH THE WEATHER.




ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, TO A SPECIAL CLIENT I REALLY HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON AND JUST REMEMBER IT IS ALL FOR SOMETHING SO SPECIAL.

WONDER?

I JUST ALWAYS WONDER WHAT THE BABIES ARE THINKING AS THEY GET SHUFFLED AROUND DURING THEIR PHOTO SESSIONS. I JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST SO CUTE AND FUNNY. "UM HEY GUYS, I AM TRYING TO PICK MY TOES, COULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE"! THAT IS MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT LITTLE MISS "C" IS THINKING.

WHAT A LOCATION!

Wow, this was a location that you wish you could have a session at every day of the week. Just an incredible farm and we took advantage of all the wonderful settings it had to offer. Just sharing a few, because soon I will not be sharing as much as to not ruin any Holiday surprises.

EXCITING GAME DAY!

WITH OUR SEASON TICKETS IN HAND, WE HAD BEEN ANTICIPATING THIS DAY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. GOING TO THE UCF HOME OPENER AGAINST TEXAS, IN OUR BRAND NEW STADIUM. TRAFFIC WAS NOT A PROBLEM FOR US, WE HAD OUR PARKING PASS IN HAND AND TAILGATED SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE. THE KIDS WERE WISHING WE HAD A SWIMMING POOL WITH US IN THE 94DEGREE HEAT. BUT 3/4 OF THE WAY INTO THE GAME THE SKIES WOULD OPEN UP WITH A COOLING DOWNPOUR THAT MADE EVERYONE SMILE WITH DELIGHT. IT WAS AN AWESOME GAME, SO CLOSE WITH UCF IN THE 4TH ACTUALLY AHEAD, BUT IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE. TEXAS PULLED OUT THE WIN 35-32, BUT NOT BAD FOR THE 63RD RANKED UCF KNIGHTS AGAINST THE 6TH RANKED TEXAS LONGHORNS........GO KNIGHTS.

REST EASY

SOMETIMES AS WE ALL KNOW BABIES HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA, BUT I AM SOMEBODY WHO IS DEFINITELY USED TO THAT. BUT SOMETIMES FOR PARENTS, ESPECIALLY FIRST TIME PARENTS YOU CAN GET A BIT STRESSED ABOUT THE WHOLE PHOTO SESSION THING. I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH, EVEN WITH BABY "N" HAVING IS OWN AGENDA, IT GAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR HIS PARENTS AND I TO BOND AND WE HAD A GOOD TIME! REST ASSURED, BETWEEN THOSE NEWBORN CRIES WE CAPTURED SOME HEART WARMING IMAGES.

JUST A GLANCE

JUST A FEW THAT ARE FINISHED FOR ONE EXCITED GRANDMA! IT WAS A JOY TO CAPTURE MISS "C" TURING ONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE "C"! IT WAS SUCH A JOY TO PHOTOGRAPH YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS AND CATCHING SOME IMAGES OF YOU WALKING AROUND.

PRECIOUS BUTTERFLY

I JUST HAD TO SHARE A QUICK ONE OF THIS PRECIOUS BUTTERFLY. WE DID THIS AT THE END OF HER SESSION TO CATCH HER IN HER ADORABLE HALLOWEEN COSTUME.

BEING A KID/BEING A PARENT

I KNOW IT IS SO HARD BEING A KID AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS WILL HELP MOLD YOU INTO WHO YOU ARE AS AN ADULT. BUT AS A PARENT, IT IS SO HARD SOMETIMES TO WATCH WHAT OTHERS DO AND SAY TO YOUR CHILDREN. I JUST HOPE YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE INSIDE AND ALWAYS STAY TRUE TO YOU, BECAUSE CHILDHOOD WILL BE OVER SOONER THAN YOU KNOW IT AND THE ONE THING THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE IS HOW MUCH YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU.

LIFE UP CLOSE

Some type of large cricket looking bugs, about 3 inches long enjoying their Saturday afternoon.

DING DONG

ALRIGHT, I'M A DING DONG, BUT IT STILL COUNTS AS MY PAGE FOR TODAY EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY SCRAPPED THESE IMAGES. OF COURSE I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT UNTIL I WENT TO SAVE THE PAGE I COMPLETED. USUALLY MY SYSTEM WORKS, IF IT'S ON MY DESKTOP IT HASN'T BEEN DONE YET, WELL GUESS WHAT, IT DID NOT WORK THIS TIME. HEY, IT'S OK I WILL PUT ONE MOTHER'S DAY PAGE IN MY DAUGHTERS AND ON IN MY SONS.

RECYCLE

MY JOURNALING ON THE PAGE IS AS FOLLOWS:

I am really embarrassed to say that we just started to “REALLY” recycle. My kids were pestering me about doing it and asking why we were not. I could only come up with the answer that we were all being Lazy. No, they don’t pick it up like they used to in Orlando ,but that is no excuse. So it is about time we recycle.

I will not always put them on here, but I have made a challenge to myself. I don't care how busy I am, my challenge is to complete one scrap page a day until the end of the year. Either current or from the old scanned images that I am working on. Believe it or not, I find it relaxing to scrap, because it gets my creative energy flowing while emptying my emotions from the day. Yes, I guess I do tend to be a tad emotional.

NAKED BABY!

My sister-in-law took this great image of my nephew playing in the rain and I just had to scrap it. It is just amazing how the little things can mean the world of fun to children, sometimes I think we should all just stop and play in the rain.
