Month: May 2009

  • 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!

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

    It’s all about the loot!

    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!

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

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

    More loot!

    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.

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

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

    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!

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

    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?

    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!

    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!
