Fun in the Sun!

Time is limited to blog these days but here are some fun photos from yesterday! Charlotte was enjoying the sunshine on the deck!

One Week Eloise!

Being housebound is proving to be a little dull! I am healing nicely and in mild pain at this point, but I am mentally so ready to go back to the gym and get back into the full swing of life! I want to take the girls on adventures, play like I used to and not be inactive! Granted, I am one week and two days into my post surgery healing, so I cannot push it. But I want to! Until I am back to the grind, there will probably be MANY photoshoots with Eloise.
I will be very excited when Charlotte is ready to "pose" with Eloise, but for now, she is content touching her hands and looking at her a lot!

Peaceful Eloise

Eloise has been with us for one full week and we are in love all over again. She is so tiny and a very calm, quiet baby. She makes little mouse noises when she is hungry and then either quietly observes the world around her or goes back to sleep. We know, in due time, her squeaks will develop into real cries, but until then we continue to marvel a newborns ways to let the world know they need attention.
Charlotte is very curious about her and does not quite grasp that this little person is part of her life and family now. She is very gentle with her and has helped out little by little.
There is something very surreal about bringing a second baby home to me. With Charlotte we were so consumed with learning how to care for a newborn that the time seems to just fly by. With Eloise, we are much calmer and know how to handle the day to day necessities. However, the element of teaching a toddler who is not yet two years old is a whole new world. We include her in everything we do and make sure she feels like she is getting all the same love she got before.
And as always, I am having a lot of fun photographing our little sleepy wonder!

Miss Margot

I had the pleasure to photograph Charlotte's friend, Margot yesterday after photographing their stunning home (photos coming soon). She has such a beautiful face and boisterous personality...a real pleasure to photograph!

The Conklins at Compo Beach

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the whole Conklin Family, Christine, Ahren and baby Aurora. They trusted my photography skills enough to take a family photo shoot..thanks guys! We had a wonderful time with the girls. Charlotte sat patiently in her stroller while we took pictures and she really enjoyed herself. The perfect end to the beach visit was playing on the swings and the whale!
