My Mother-in-Law

This is my sweet, precious mother in law. Well, we are no longer legally related, but, to me, she will ALWAYS be my mother in love....she has shown me more love than I could have ever expected and my heart has been broken over not seeing her anymore. She also had a stroke earlier this year and not getting around very well. She had one 21 years ago and it changed the bubbly, energetic, fun-loving woman I first met.

We were able to work a visit in with her this weekend and was able to capture these moments......I. LOVE. THEM. She is such a courageous, loving woman. These are the hands that taught me how to make biscuits without a recipe, dressing-the old fashioned way :) and came to help me with each one of my 9 children.

Leota Eloise Dodson.....I love that name and love the woman.

Andersons--Winter pics

Here are the Andersons...I did their pictures TWO YEARS ago!!! This little guy was not liking getting his picture made this time....well, I guess last time he was too little to protest. But we managed to get some cute ones.....

Twas the day before Thanksgiving....

....and the bridge was the busiest place in town.....

Well, not really, but it WAS busy!!! I think everyone was out to get their last minute pictures done while family was in town....we were able to get a few done while working around the crowds......

BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY!!!

This is baby Kai....he is so adorable and so much fun to play with!!! Of course, he just takes after his beautiful mama!!

I LOVE these boys!!!!

Christmas Cards.....

I have been working on Christmas card samples....here is one....

Baby Hayden

This baby went from his mama's tummy to this little man!!!! I took his mama's maternity pics-seems like yesterday....and here he is, his own man....

another set of twin....

I got the pleasure of having Ms. Wendy's children come for a sitting. Ms. Wendy has been such a special Children's Ministry teacher to my Reagan!!! These two were a HOOT!! You can tell they are SOOOO different by the trio of pics I put on a card....that little guy is a ball of fire and his sister is just as calm and laid back....night and day!!!

Nash Farms

I had never been to Nash Farms, and it was BEAUTIFUL! Well, this sweet family made it worth it. The workers at the place DID NOT...they were not nice at ALL!!! Oh, well, we managed :) and got some really cute pictures!!!

Three Generations!!!

I got to spend the morning with Katie, Karen and Beth....three BEAUTIFUL ladies....who love each other dearly....it was such a blessing to see them together and to catch the love they share....Thank you Karen!!!

Twin Beauties!!!

I had a blast with these two baby girls....however.....thinking through all the times I prayed for twins....God knew what He was doing to say NO!!!! This Mama and Daddy are soooo good with their babies....I don't think I could do it full time....just give me mine one at a time :)
