.my birthday weekend.

A couple weeks ago, Ryan decided that we should spend the day in Asheville for my Birthday. While I really wanted to go and see the house, view, etc, I also really just wanted to be lazy. I put on my happy face, stopped and got me a biscuit and gravy and made the 2 hr journey to the mountains. Boy was I glad we went. The weather was just PERFECT, the wine tasted fabulous and the overall trip was very relaxing! I brought along my flip and recorded parts of our day. Enjoy :)

All we did was laugh at this session and it was just medicine to the soul! I absolutely LOVE this family. I just want to squeeze on these little girls all day. Aren't they just beautiful? They are the sweetest, happiest, most fun little girls I have seen in a long time. They jumped out of the car and immediately held my hands, skipped down the sidewalk and we became fast friends. Once again I am blessed to see families interact. I am hopeful that one day my kids will love us as much as these girls love their mom and dad!

My birthday is this Saturday and Ryan got me a flip!! I just LOVE it and can't wait to use it over and over again. We have cracked up at some of the videos captured in the short week I have had it. :) I'm looking forward to using it this weekend in the mountains, when my family comes to visit, Thanksgiving, Christmas and much more.

My subject this past week has been the adorable and sweet Pudge. :) He is too funny not to record and for those who don't understand my doggie love- I'm sorry but he's our child. And parents record their children being cute and silly. So there! :)

Enjoy this short video of Pudge being Pudge!

.mattie.

Mattie is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She lives next door to us and frequently joins us on our walks around the cald-e-sac and back. Today she was napping next to our house so I snapped a few shots of her for our neighbors. We have an upcoming "session" this week but she was too cute not to snap some today. Mattie is normally a bit more lively, has her ears perked up and comes up to us to get a few scratches. Today on the other hand- she wanted to be left alone and did not appreciate us distrubing her beauty sleep. She decided to get up and walk into her house. LOL :)
