Gettin' my Blog on....

There is an extremely valid reason that I have not blogged in the last three weeks - it's called motherhood. I have had the best of intentions, waking up every morning thinking to myself "I really need to post some of these new sessions", trying to sneak a few minutes in between a quick load of laundry and nap time, only to get bogged down in scheduling and editing and playing Batman. But since my fantastic husband took the kids to the zoo this glorious Saturday morning so that I could get some work done, I was able to concentrate long enough to type this little note and post these from the last few weeks... Enjoy!

Fudgie's in the House....

I'd like to take this moment to give a shout out to my sister, affectionately know as Aunt Fudge, who flew down to Texas last week to watch vigilantly over my sweet, sweet babies while my husband and I ran off to Colorado for a long weekend. It was amazing to get away for a mini-vacation and not worry once about my kiddos.... what a fantastic time! Anyway, in honor of my sister's absolute wonderful-ness, I thought I'd post some pics of some fun sisters I've taken over the past few weeks. Sisters Rule....

Just for reference, this is Aunt Fudge....

And weighing in at 9lbs, 3ozs....

The Purdy Crew was excited to welcome a new babe into the family this past weekend - Ryan's cousin Ashley and her husband Nate had a beautiful baby boy August 30th - Chandler Blair Smith arrived weighing in at a whoppin' 9lbs 3ozs. Since I will not be able to make the trip to Oregon the photograph the little nugget, here are some images from a session I just finished editing of a gorgeous little newborn girl here in Houston. What a sweetheart!
