Wordless Wednesday: Cheerios

I guess this is what happens when you leave Cheerios within reach of a 2 year old and walk away for 5 seconds.  No wonder little Maddie was so quiet :).

Foto Friday: A SweetPea Creation

As if she could get any cuter. Now she has a headband with interchangeable bows to go with every outfit!

Foto Friday: We're ready for you summer!

Ok, so I missed the second Foto Friday. Ok, so adding a weekly segment didn't prove to make me any better at this whole "keeping up with the sites" thing. Ok. But it's been a crazy week. Good crazy, bad crazy, crazy crazy. Next week will be better. Let's hope.

Wordless Wednesday: MK Photography

My very talented friend Marisa has finally decided to go professional with her photography.  She's so good at what she does and has been taking pictures for people here and there but now it's official.  These are a few of the pictures she took of my girls.  She uses natural light to capture life's true moments and is honestly amazing.  She's done weddings, families, pregnancy and children but she's open to more.  To see more of her work you can visit  http://gallery.mac.com/marisa923/100047.

If you're in the Chicagoland or Northwest Indiana area and are interested you can contact her at 630.362.5074 or marisa923(at)sbcglobal(dot)net.  Her rate for a 2-hour session with children is $100 and includes up to 50 proofs.  She comes to your house so your wee ones will be in their own environment, providing for more relaxed pictures.  Please contact her for the rates for events and family, pregnancy, and couples sessions.

Foto Friday

My little girls have obtained a reputation for being "the most stylish little girls around". Not a title I gave them but one am I'm proud to declare. So, I'm stealing an idea I saw once a while back on another site because it's cute and very fitting (not to mention it'll force me to get us out of our pajamas and take some pictures!) :). Without further adieu, I introduce our first Foto Friday!

Chit Chattin' with Ana

For as long as I can remember, each morning when I'd go get Ana out of her crib (and big girl bed now) I'd pick her up and we'd walk over to her window.  I'd open her blinds and we'd say "Good morning, world!" as we look outside for the first time each day.  So two nights ago I put her into her bed and kissed her goodnight.  As I was walking out she points to her window (with open blinds) and says...

Ana:  "Mommy, close my world!  You have to close my world so we can go to sleep!"

Amazing how they see things.

Chit Chattin' with Ana

I was pushing her on her "princess bicycle" (as she specifically calls it every time) and she fell :(...

Mommy: "I'm so sorry, baby!  Are you OK?"

Ana:  "Yeah, I'm just fine.  I'm just fine, Mommy.  Ugh, I'm just like Daddy."

What exactly she meant by that is anyone's guess but my personal interpretation is quite, um, hilarious. :)
