Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters









1. oh the joy of christmas!
i've come to the conclusion that it is quite tricky to get pictures of all the happenings with a baby in my arms.  it's even harder to capture a still moment of my hunter the toddler.  but, such sweet times, nonetheless...

some of kelly's sweet family!

four generations: my grandma, my mom, me, my sister, and sage.

part of my crazy family.  ; )  sage is d-o-n-e.

sage got a baby doll. she already adores it.



this is how hunter's highchair tray has looked at every meal since Christmas.  he has to eat with at least four toys.  yes, he is obsessed with thomas.  


2. family fotos.
my sister-in-law arranged for a friend of hers to take pictures of our family as a gift for kelly's parents.  it was a major feat considering the pictures included six children under the age of five.

from left to right: our family / kelly's sister, becky, her husband, jason, and their girls, taylor and camryn / kelly's sister, cindy, and her husband, billy, and their girls, libby and gracie.

 our family.  i posted this in black and white the other day.  i like the colored version too.  the fact that both kiddies were looking in the same direction is a major accomplishment.

other than the fact that the both of us tried to look natural and completely missed the mark, i like it.


3. my baby love.
i just love her.



4. and baby, it's cold outside.
we had snow yesterday.  that makes it twice in one year.  in charleston, sc.  it's the south.  home of the humidity, even in winter.  usually.  can you say global un-warming?!

our house getting a dusting.

look at the flakes!

I am loving all the family photos! The goofy ones are soooo cute! Isn't it fun to just be silly with family! Sage is so cute and that pic of her on your shoulder holding that gimongous leaf is precious! Hunter and Kelcee would get along great, Kelcee loves Thomas the train as well and for Christmas Santa brought her a gimongous rideable train for the house!! YOur house is so gorgeous girl! The snow is so pretty, we are getting a blizzard here!

You look so good! Thanks for your sweet words to me! They always mean so much! The photo shoot is precious and YAY for the kiddos looking in the same direction!! We got professional photos taken with my mom (grandma) she raised me and her two great grandchildren kelcee and skyler and one was looking one way and the other the other way LOL still cute though

I love your blog, Carissa! You are amazing! :) I LOVE the idea of Miscellany Monday, and I have been doing it for about 3 weeks. :)

My blog is pretty whimpy compared to most people's. I only have 37 followers and a few comments on each posts. But I'd love it if you'd check it out. :)

Blessings Carissa!

P.S. I love all your photos! :) You are an amazing photographer, among other things. :)

Lulu said...

Also -- I thought this was funny -- your son was born on my birthday, February 2nd! :) Say hi to my birthday buddy for me! :) And also you and Kelly were married on the same day some friends of ours were married on! So funny!

Lea said...

Oh, so enjoyed seeing the pics of your Christmas fun. I didn't link up today because I couldn't remember if you were taking a break and I guess I've sort of been taking a break. But, will definitely be back next Monday. I do love MM!

Blessings for a beautiful week!
