Owen's DELUXE Birthday Cake

Can you believe this cake?! One of my first doula clients is also a custom cake decorator. In exchange for my doula services, she offered to make a cake for me. This is her beautiful and creative work.

The entire piece is sugar-based. It was a real hit -- with kids chanting "cake! cake!" at the table side :) And, it was not only amazing to look at - it was also delicious to eat!

Owen's 4th Bday: A Kid's Photo Journal

These are photos from Owen's 4th birthday party -- taken on Owen's own digital camera (thanks Uncle JT). I am not sure who took any of these photos, but I am sure whoever it was was no older than 6 years old! Enjoy!

Uncle JT is a talented artist. Among his crafts is photography. I link to his blog on the sidebar. In his blog he posts a new photo (or more) each day.

Last weekend, he and his Mom (who is visiting from out of state -- no, he doesn't still live with his Mom) agree to watch the kids while Scott & I went out for a date.

Check his blog for some amazing photos he took of Owen & Anna: http://eyedewstuff.blogspot.com/

Thanks JT!

Anna's 1st Haircut

I really want Anna's hair to grow out. But, I am haunted by Owen's mullet... so I agreed to get Anna's hair "trimmed." Really, she was a mess with her hair in her eyes all the time. Here's documentation:







Owen got his hair cut too. The lollipop is the evidence, if not the scowl!

A Visit with Santa

Thanks Aunt Denise

Aunt Denise came to visit and gave Mom and Dad a small break. A trip to the lake provided some time for photos!

Enjoy :)
