Happy Birthday GRANT!

Here are a couple newborn pics. Look how much he's grown!

I can't believe my sweet boy is already one! Wow does the time fly. We just had a simple party with some of our friends. Grant really enjoyed his cake as it was his very first experience with sugar. We let him have it long enough to make a huge mess of himself and get in a bite or two. He really enjoyed his birthday song. He started grinning and clapping excitedly once everyone began singing. He got a little Elmo guitar which he carries around all the time now dancing to the songs it plays. Kinsley was quick to ask for her turn after Grant opened the gift but I was impressed with the level of patience she exercised. She was a great sport about letting it be Grants special day. I love the picture of Shawn dancing while Grant was opening his gift. What a goof! We love you!

Grant hasn't started walking yet but he's really close. He likes to grab our bar stools or kitchen chairs and use them as walkers. Now that we have hardwoods it's easy for him to glide across the floor. He has three teeth, although one of them is big enough to be considered two. We call it his dinosaur or mammoth tooth. Grant loves to climb on everything. He spends most of his time getting in (and falling off of) Kinsley's toddler bed. He loves to wave and try to communicate with every new face. He's already proving to be as social as his sister.

We love you G-man Happy Birthday!

My Photography Blog

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! Okay really it's the moment I've been waiting for. I've been working on this blog for what seems like forever. After lots of portfolio building and much more to come I'm finally ready to make my site public. It's been interesting trying to make a blog work like a website. I know what you're thinking why doesn't she just get a web page? Money, money, money, plus writing the html code, getting it to look just how I want it--there's just not time for that right now. We'll without further adieu here's the link: http://www.youreverycolorphotography.blogspot.com/ Why Your Every Color? Not only is it one of my all time favorite songs by Train, but it's really at the heart of what I do: working to capture the moment, our uniqueness, our every color. Check it out and PLEASE, please, please leave your comments, your constructive criticism, share it with your friends, etc.

Happy blogging everyone!

My New Favorite Movie

I rented and saw this movie last night and just had to write a post about it. I remember seeing the previews for it several months back and it was one of those films I just knew I would like. My goal was to get out to the theatre and see the movie, but going to the movies isn't the easiest thing to get around to doing when you have young kiddos. Anyway I loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!! I can't emphasize it enough. The music in the film was beautiful, the cinematography was breathtaking and the story was uplifting, charming, fairy-tale like, and inspiring. I'm sure some of you won't feel the same way, or may perhaps think it was overly sentimental and cheezy and to you I say you're crazy! This movie is wonderful! Go and buy it!

I also need to add-in this picture of Grant I took a few days ago. I just love it. He is such a good looking kid! Grant turns 1 year on the 20th. Watch for the "Ode To Grant" post coming soon.....
