...finally decided to make his debut. It's baby Carter.
I will post more of this sweet baby boy and his overjoyed parents soon. It has been a hectic week and I am barely keeping my head above water. :) 20091111

All DONE.
I finally finished up the Christmas pre-k project on Sunday and thought I would show you the final product, but first let me share a few more cuties with you.
I have no idea what got into GiGi that morning, but she was a posing queen. I guess she had to show her friends how its done!
I printed two different pictures of the kids...one for their hanging ornament, and one for their frame. Here are the ornaments...sorry for the weird lighting, my house doesn't have good natural light, but you get the idea.
And here are the frames. 
I decided the kids definitely needed to participate in making the gift, so I cut out Christmas trees for them to decorate and glue to their sacks. This is the completed one that GiGi and I did together.

A new crop...
...of babies that is. I am excited to have a new round of babies to photograph in the upcoming year. I find so much joy in photographing infants, and it is something that I want to improve upon.
I am excited to photograph another friend's baby. Doesn't she look gorgeous with that growing belly???
We started giggling as we were snapping these shots, because we realized how lopsided her stomach was. I think there was a little baby booty poking up here.
This is their second child. During the first pregnancy, her husband was deployed so he didn't get to be involved in the first born's photo shoot. We are happy to have him home to share in all the joys of this second pregnancy.
They like to keep the gender a surprise, so we are all so excited to find out what this little one will be. I have guessed boy, but I am always wrong so it is probably a girl.
She is down to the final month so I know everyone is getting anxious to meet this new little one. I, of course will keep you posted with pictures as soon as he/she arrives.

#1 FAN
Remember this little Steelers baby from 9 months ago??? His Daddy is a die hard steelers fan and had just returned from the Superbowl where the Steelers won. Baby Luke was just a few weeks old then.
Yes, it has already been 9 months. I can't believe it either. Apparantly, at just 9 months of age, this sweet boy could qualify as the Steelers # 1 fan.

Do you think his Daddy would care if I converted him to a Dallas Cowboys fan? I think blue would be a much better color choice for those beautiful eyes. :)

The Pre-K Kids
You know the heartfelt gifts that you get from your kids at Christmas time...the ones that they make at school that usually involve a hand print or an ornament that they work so hard on? As parents, we love getting those gifts, but because of the struggling economy, GiGi's teachers were hesitant to ask the kids to bring money for supplies for the gifts to be made this year. The school usually hires a lady to come in, and she makes a ceramic piece of artwork with the kids.
I decided it would be fun to take on this project and told the teachers that I would take care of it this year. I gathered up a few jackets and hats from GTO and GiGi's closets and headed up to the school on a sunny morning.
To keep it inexpensive I purchased frames at the dollar store and spray painted them shiny red. I also purchased foam mats to make picture ornaments which will hang on the gift sacks. I will post more pictures and the completed project next week. For now, enjoy these cuties. Oh, and by the way...Princess GiGi has 16 kids in her class. ELEVEN of them are BOYS!
I hope the parents are happy with their presents this year. :)

This is the only picture that I did in black and white, but I love how it turned out.
And here is Miss GiGi posing like a pro. :)

I SURVIVED....
...the weekend's festivities, but only after taking a day off of work to recoup. Is it a day off when you do laundry, work on a pre-k Christmas project, run errands, and take pictures? Oh well, I feel more caught up now at least.
We had a great Halloween. The kids loved trick-or-treating and it was fun to see all the decorations in the neighborhood. I loved seeing all the adults that dressed up to hand out candy to the little ones and the houses were completely decked out.
On our walk back to the house, the sky was all a-glow in a vibrant orange. Very fitting, I thought. :)
The Halloween carnival was lots of fun and I think all the kids enjoyed themselves. We ended up with 14 kids, and that was a good # to try to control for the games. I should have taken pictures of all the games that we played, or done a better job at taking pictures during the party, but I was too busy trying to control the chaos. Minnie Mouse joined us again at our house. She showed up to judge the costume contest and GiGi was thrilled to see her again. (Remember she came to GiGi's 3rd birthday as well. HERE SHE IS)
All in all it was a great weekend. I am looking forward to doing another carnival next year, but I think I will hire more help or at least someone to take pictures for me. :)
