Then and Now

 Christmas 2008

Madeline (18 months) was a little tired of pictures by this time of the night I think. Anna Kate (1 month) was learning to love her anyway...she still loves to look at her big sister all the time!

I tried and failed on getting any "good" Christmas pics with their matching outfits. OH well, this is all I got pretty much.

 

2009

 Christmas Picture Session...rather, trying in vain to get Christmas pictures! It was so much easier this year though, no one cried or had a break-down! I think was a successful with just that fact.

 

Birthday Girl!

Happy 1st Birthday Anna Kate

We love  you as high as the sky!

Being thankful

Being a bit sentimental and nostalgic this time of year I look at the simple things in life that I am thankful for...

Laughing and smiling faces of princess ballerinas on Halloween

 Picnics with the park on a sunny day with Grandpa and Granny and cousin John Paul

Rainy days

Families

Life long friendships:

Anna Kate with her Nanny Sarah's kiddos and Madeline

Princess Ballerina Kisses

Hugs from Mimi 

and love from Sisters

...don't think I did not tear up at this one!

No matter what is going, remember you do have many things to be grateful about in your life!
