September Baby Day!

I'm having a hard time finding time for my blog this month.  School starting, school pictures, and the county fair have kept me super busy.  I'm glad I got a few personal pictures up last week, because they would be at the bottom of the list now!

Last Saturday was Baby Day, and we had 5 super cute babies at the studio ranging from 7 weeks to 1 year.  Here are the Sneak Peeks...let me know what you think!

Hunter & Lily ~ End of Summer

It has been a busy summer and I am so sad to see it end.  Although, cooler temps would be kinda nice!  I've been taking tons of pics of H&LK, but have had little time to do anything with them.  Here's a few of my faves from the summer (and even a few rare pics of me and Dru!)

 

A few of these may be familiar to my FB friends, but  I wanted to share them here for all of my non-facebookers too.  These were done in our field and front yard...

With Hunter close to turning *5* and Lily Kate almost *2*, I thought I would list some of the milestones they reached over the summer. 

Hunter - Learned to SWIM, and even snorkeled with the big boys in Destin! 

 

 

LK - Has really started talking...she has new words everyday, including Mama, Daddy, Hot, Cold, LSU, "rat" (cat), "Rara" (Ms. Kara), I don't know, baby, eyes, feet, shoes, Moo, Baaa, Bad, deer, eat, snack, milk, back-pack (Dora), pat-pat (Little Einsteins), and night-night.  She keeps us laughing with all of her attitude.  Nothing much phases her (which is going to make discipline a challenge in the future)! 

Florida was our big trip for the summer and it was so fun.  Hunter can really enjoy the boat, beach and water now.  Lily had fun doing everthing for the first time.  These snapshots were taken on my VERY old P/S...

 

More random snaps from the summer...early morning pj's, fun in the water, playing in a rice field, goofy-golf, and of course, an appearance from spiderman.

 

My *sweet* husband of almost 10 years...yes, I said sweet.  If you know Dru, you probably don't believe me, but it really is true ;)

 

Oh, Wow...I can't even tell you how much it hurts to see myself this close-up...but, nonetheless, I still like this one...

*Thanks Alyssa for catching the first and last photos in this series!

These babies need a home...

I recently connected with Allison on Facebook, she volunteers with the Columbia County Animal Protection Society (CCAPS).  We thought it would be a great idea to share some pics of some of the pups at the shelter...

 I was overwhelmed by the number of sweet eyes staring back at me!

The volunteers, like Allison, and the director, Steve, spend time working with each and everyone of these dogs to make sure that they are ready for a home.  I was so impressed by how well Steve knew each of these little guys. Some were abused, some were abandoned, some were in bad health...but each one is rehabilitated individually.

 This sweet puppy was run over by a car.  They didn't think he would live, but he's doing well now.

Trixie was found in a box...in a ditch...on the side of the road...with her puppies.

 

Did you know that its harder to find a home for a black dog???

OMGoodness...this one just kills me! 

 

You can learn more about CCAPS from their website, or by becoming a fan on FACEBOOK.  Each of the dogs pictured here are ready for a home!
