The Master of Light

By -
Every year, in between the girls' birthdays, we get update family photos. This year, we called Trish McMillen, because we knew she would not disappoint. I want to get some new canvases for our loft, and since she is the master of light, I knew we'd get some beauties to liven up the upstairs. 

We met Trish on a Sunday morning at Floyd Lamb State Park in hopes of getting some bright, green, gorgeous photos. We got exactly what we wanted and could not be happier with the end result. It was impossible to choose just one of each shot to share, because they are all so pretty. And the girls expressions in each one either melt me or make me laugh at their silly personalities. She captured them both so well, and I'm in love with each shot. I did cut them in half, so I wouldn't bombard you with pictures, but we got so many, that I'm still bombarding you with pictures. Good thing they're so beautiful. Enjoy...







































































I still cannot get over the way Trish makes the sunlight work for her. She truly is the best, and we love her work every single time. The girls had a blast chasing the peacocks and showed Trish just how sassy they could be.

Thanks, Trish, for giving us these beautiful memories. I cannot wait to get them up on my walls stat!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
