Part One of Emma's Two Year Pics

I've had an outdoor session planned for Emma for a couple of weeks, but the weather just hasn't been cooperating...So I decided to do a quick indoor session with her the other day.  I haven't taken any official two year pictures for her yet, so I'm a little behind.  She really was NOT in the mood for pictures, so I'm glad I got a few I was happy with.  I still have some adorable ones to edit with her jumping on the bed and a few with her sister, but I can tell I'm getting sidetracked with work, so I thought I'd put up the first few.  I hope to get the rest edited later in the week.  This first one is my favorite..

Okay, Jackie, so I remembered why I hadn't posted these pictures.  This was not Emma's most agreeable day..lol.  This was the best one of the bunch with her in it.  And I had the hardest time with your glasses, but have since learned some tips that I wish I would have known before I took the pictures.  I still love this one of you and Hailey though.  She looks so much younger here. 

Dana Point...

As soon as this rain stops, I'm taking the girls out for some updated pictures, so I figured I should catch up on all these really old pictures first.  Excuse the fact that they're just sort of thrown together.  I haven't done so well at managing my time this past year.  I hope to be able to get more balance soon with my business so that I can focus more on my favorite people:)  This is last year's summer trip to Dana Point.  They look so little.  We had a blast.

What A Difference!

I can't believe how big Hailey is getting.  I was just comparing this year's first-day-of-school picture to last year's and wow...

First Day of Kindergarten...

 First Day of 1st Grade...

Such a big girl:)

Finally Posting..

I've been meaning to post pictures forever.  I can't believe the whole summer has gone by and I've hardly taken pictures of my girls.  We did have a couple fun vacations that I need to catch up on, but I wanted to start by just posting something recent.  I've been so caught up taking pictures of other kids, it's been hard to find the time to do sessions with my girls.

My mom took Hailey to a Wizard of Oz children's play yesterday, so John and I took Emma to the Arboretum for some pictures.  We soon realized that the 100 degree heat wasn't going to be any fun, but I hadn't taken any 18 month pictures of Emma, so we suffered it out for just a little while.

Isn't she pretty!!  I can't believe she's getting so big, so fast.  I hope to post more pictures soon.  I've got Hailey's first day of school, and I need to catch up on pics from a couple of trips we took over the summer.  Hopefully I can start to keep up with this again.  I miss it:)

Camping at Silverwood Lake

So we took our first camping trip of the year last weekend.  We found a great little place that's not too far away.  It was great to have a little vacation!  We went with a couple of friends and their kids, and the kids had sooo much fun!  We hung out at the lake, rented little boats (that was sort of a disaster:), and bbq'd back at the camp.  It was the first time using our pop up trailer, and it was so much better than sleeping in a tent!  Emma did horrible sleeping the first night, but by the second night she was doing great.

She loves baby Chloe.  I think they're going to be good friends!..and Hailey already misses playing with Matthew and Luke.  Hopefully there will be many more camping trips in our future:)

And here's one of Emma by the lake...
