  • Do you need to be a Pampered Mama?

    Birth Network of NWA is sponsoring The Pampered Mama Giveaway!  Take the Birth Survey or post a blog--or BOTH--and you can be entered to win lots of goodies!

    What's this all about?

    The Birth Survey was created to help women share their maternity care experiences and learn from other women's experiences.  As advocates for mother-friendly maternity care, we at BirthNetwork NWA we believe that the quality of your care matters to your health and that of your baby.

    When you take the Birth Survey, you can let other women in NW Arkansas know about the great (or not so great) care you received with the doctor or midwife you chose. Feedback like this will help other women find the best maternity care available, and it also helps hospitals and doctors improve. We’re all about healthier, safer, better births for mom and baby.

    Sorry for the lapse in postings.  Two and a half months is too long!  We have had a crazy busy summer!  Lots of family things - two car trips to South Dakota in a month - and we moved!!! Lots of pictures to post!  Everyone is doing great!  Lucy is now five and a half months old and weighs 19 pounds!!!  Olivia and Norah are loving their new house and new pink bedroom.  Chelsea has been very busy with the house, kids, and more kids! 

    First...our new house!

  • Okay, I know.  A month in baby time is like years!  Sorry!!!  But I've had real portrait customers, so I had to work on their stuff first.    Here is the last month!

    * * * * *

    The first of our two Easter egg hunts, this one with our Moms group.  There's Lucy in the Kozy Carrier!

    DSC_3901

    Livi is in the far left of this photo, Norah's dead center, and Lucy and I are in the back right.

    DSC_3915

    It's all about the loot! 

    DSC_3932

    Now for the church egg hunt!  Pastor Randy has the microphone on the far left.  We got there a few minutes late, and he waved Livi and Norah in & told them to come sit down.  So they did.  Right next to him, not by the other kids, LOL!

    DSC_3935

    Time to find eggs!  This was the 0-3 year old age group.  That's why the eggs are just sitting on the ground. 

    DSC_3948

    This is Norah standing around while Ryann runs to gather eggs.

    DSC_3942

    More loot!

    DSC_3992

    I don't know why this photo is sideways, but this is all the BVAG kids opening their eggs and tossing the plastic shells into the big cardboard box for next year.

    DSC_3995

    The Sanders family, and our new neighbors!  It seems to be a trend at our church to have little girls...

    DSC_4001

    Coloring Easter eggs!

    Easter morning...we just told the girls their baskets were hidden somewhere in the toy room...

    DSC_4038

    DSC_4039

    Norah may see something across the room...Livi is whipping her head around trying to find what Norah sees...

    DSC_4041

    Found it!  But it's not hers, LOL!

    DSC_4043

    It's Norah's!

    DSC_4046

    Yay!

    DSC_4049

    Oh, there's Livi's!

    DSC_4052

    Voila!

    DSC_4054

    A "spotting scope!"

    DSC_4058

    DSC_4063

    And a magnifying glass to help them find stuff...like lost toys...

    DSC_4064

    Then it was onto the Easter program at church.  Here Livi's class is singing and signing "Jesus Is Alive."  Can you see Liv signing Jesus?

    DSC_4080_edited-1

    We had a record attendance that day of 418 people, so I thought I'd take some photos for preservation.  I'm really impressed with how well they turned out!

    DSC_4102_edited-1

    DSC_4114_edited-1

    Then Lucy was too cute in her Easter outfit, so I had a little mini-photo shoot with her.  The blanket she is lying on was crocheted by a wonderful woman from our church.  It is beautiful!

    Older sis was just dying to get in on the picture-taking.

    DSC_4150_edited-1

    Here are a couple random sky shots.  You wouldn't guess, but I took the first photo, then did a 180 and took the second photo in the opposite direction.  Pretty!

    DSC_4153_edited-1

    Olivia also had her first dentist appointment!
