Beach Photos
We haven't taken a family photo in a long time, so I was really looking forward to taking some pictures at the beach. On the day we decided to try, the weather was beautiful but very windy. We had lots and lots of outtakes with hair in our faces! Thankfully, we got several great photos to cherish.

Spring Pictures
It's no secret that I love taking pictures of my girls. They've had a camera in their faces since their very first breath. Therein lies my problem. The girls are so sick of having their picture taken that they run, literally run, from the camera. Emma hasn't actually looked at the camera for a picture in about two years. I wish you could see what goes on behind the scenes to get her to look in my direction. On second thought, no, I don't, because I act all kinds of foolish to trick her into taking a decent picture.
Needless to say, posed pictures just don't happen. My girls do not sit and take pictures, but as their mother, it is my natural born right to subject them to a "photo shoot" now and then. When Andy hears me say "I'm going to take pictures of the girls," he tries to find something, anything, else to do. He usually gets sucked into being my helper and it's just not pretty.
I haven't taken pictures of the girls since last May and I really needed some new ones. So I took the girls out, one at a time (it just works better), and took some pictures.

And why pictures with both girls don't work well...

Pictures!
When I found out that our beloved photographer, Emily, was moving to California, I was devastated. She was so great with Emma and always managed to get wonderful pictures, no matter what. I didn't know if I would be able to find another person that would be able to capture the kids' personality so perfectly. Luckily, I met Tracie Ancelet from Ancelet Photography. She's a mother of four, so I knew that a newborn and a toddler wouldn't scare her. Which is a good thing, since Sophia made sure to make a strong first impression, if you know what I mean.
Tracie never got flustered; she just kept telling me not to worry and that we would get great shots. We tried everything; we laid her down, I held her, we went outside. Nothing. She finally settled down for about 15 minutes when she was good and ready.
While I tried to calm Sophia down, Tracie took Emma outside to get a few shots of her as well. Emma immediately felt comfortable enough to go with her away from Mommy to have her picture taken. She liked her so much that she didn't want to leave!
Here are a few of the pictures from our "Sneak Peek." The rest should be ready in about a week. I can't wait to see the rest!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
We had a little luck o' the Irish today and Sophia had a relatively good day with her reflux. The doctor recommended adding a little cereal to her bottle to try to thicken the formula, helping to keep the acid in her stomach. This was the first full day we tried this, so we're hoping we'll see some positive results. Any little bit helps!
Emma spent the day with her Mimi and had a great time. She told us all about her day during dinner. She took a trip to the bank and picked up a few gold coins while she was there. She didn't know that they were chocolate filled until after dinner; you could almost see her thinking "If only I would have known!!!"
Here are a few pictures of my wee lasses:
A little smile!
She enjoyed her chocolate coin!
Then, we had to run off the sugar.

Turning One is So Much Fun!
It's hard to believe that Emma is already one year old. Here are a few pictures from her final photo shoot and from her birthday party. We were so fortunate to have our family and friends there to help us celebrate.
