Portrait Day






The day started like all others- screams and tears. But this day the children, my beautiful children were to be dressed in their best and smile their best for our annual pictures. Jackson was to wear his daddy's sailor suit that was worn when he was three and a similar one by his grandaddy at three too. How cool right? And Harper wore a beautiful hand sewn dress so thoughtfully borrowed from a dear friend (thanks JP!) The weather freezing and overcast and to get there bribes and candy were packed. The whole time I thought if I can get Jackson to behave I will be golden. WRONG! Jackson was a delight and Little Devil Harper was in tears for the first 30 minutes (I wont tell you how much that cost!) But, by the end the day due to the patience of the photographer and the grace of God we have some wonderful memories of a day that began with tears and ended with tears - from Mommy.

Letter to Santa


Jackson wanted to tell Santa all of the goodies he wants and then some so we decided to write him a letter. It looks more like a Jackson Pollock then a Jackson Avery. Who cares we love them both!

My first pedicure



Harper was so cute and still when I painted her toenails. She was almost too proud

to wear shoes. Can't you tell by her smile?
