Newborn ~ Emily

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Miss Emily was such an adorable little model. I made the trip over to her house here in Granbury for her newborn pictures, and we set up “shop” on her back porch. I mean, really, in July, it’s plenty hot outside without having to turn a heater on inside, so Mom and Dad were game to allow for some outdoor time for Miss Emily. First we got to explore her room and some of the fun hats from family, a sweet hat and blanket combo from grandmother, and firefighter items that belonged to Daddy. Then, as we set up outside, I spotted more goodies in the form of freshly painted (but dry) furniture! She was such a dream…and she is SO loved by a big brother who wanted to be in on the action, too!

The hat was too cute already, and then to find the newly painted shelf was too much!

I’m telling you, brother was keeping his eye on us! Now whether he wanted to play or whether he was watching over little sister, I’ll let you decide

Newborn ~ Mailey James

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

About 4 years ago, maybe 5, they all run together, a ‘new’ teacher showed up on campus in the middle of the year. I was drawn to Lissa; whether it was her contagious smile and laughter, sweet spirit, or friendliness, who knows, but I just really liked her. We were separated by a lot of space, so there wasn’t much visiting time with one another. She was getting married soon, and then she returned to her former district. Fortunately, God brought her back to GHS, and we had the opportunity to grow a friendship; I’m so thankful for that!

I distinctly remember last October when her mommy stopped by my classroom at school, stood just outside the door, and moved her mouth to form what looked to be the words, “I’m pregnant!” while pointing toward her tummy. I had a student in my room at the time, so I hastily got up and sprinted to the door. “I’m pregnant!” she laughed. Lissa’s laugh is infectious, and I started laughing and celebrating with her. Then, my brain went straight to picture idea. If this was a boy, he was getting a newborn mohawk hat and even some tu pictures for daddy. If it was a girl, the most perfect picture of 3 little angels (Mailey James has two big sisters) in orange, pink, and lime frilly pettiskirts popped into my head. Miss Mailey James, you are precious and you are SO loved by your precious family.

I squeal over baby back wrinkles!

I wish I could get every mommy to agree to this. I know it’s hard to feel beautiful, but you ARE and so is the love that just oozes out!

Children ~ Grace & Davis

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

Grace and Davis take me back, oh, about 25 years. When I look at Grace, I see her awesome momma with whom a friendship first blossomed 25 years ago (or so). I distinctly remember the time we went to ‘ring and run’ with some friends (though, no doubt, we were older than Grace is to be into such mischief), I gracefully fell in the gravel, and she helped drag me back to her house where her mom doctored me up, telling me I should probably call my mom for stitches. I couldn’t bear the thought of missing out on the fun, and I still have the scar as a memory today .

So many things about Grace and Davis are exceptional. Not only is their mommy a precious friend and sister in Christ, but their Daddy serves our country in the Army. Yeah, they’re military brats, but there is not.one.thing that’s ‘bratty’ about them! Grace charmed me with her eagerness to smile and pose, and Davis charmed me with his movie knowledge.

Thank you, Sara, for allowing me to scout out a new location with your beautiful, delightful children. I love them (and you)!
