Baby Emerald

I am among those lucky enough to have someone named after me--Meet Baby Emerald, my friend Jarrod's niece. Jarrod's sister Andra says, "if you don't want someone to name their kid after you, don't leave your business card laying around with your name in pretty script."







The Lovely Miss Abigail

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Miss Abigail for Christmas Card photos. Here is one of my favorites!

Indy's First Halloween

As someone, ::cough, Kalyn:: very near and dear to my heart recently pointed out, I have left my readers with over 90 days of "blog-less" disappointment. To remedy this situation, Indy has written a post he likes to call...

"How to Schnooker a Pretty Lady out of Halloween Candy."


#1-- Position yourself next to the pretty lady passing out Halloween candy.


#2--Look really cute.


#3--Lean in close to the candy to get your ears rubbed.


#4--Lean in closer and give the pretty lady a kiss.


#5--While she's reeling from your kiss, put a paw in the
candy to rake it from the pretty lady's lap.

#6--Get caught.


#7--Foiled again. But at least I look cute in my pirate costume!


Here are some other pictures from Indy's first Halloween...where he escaped from the house--leashless--and ran up and down the street barking at innocent trick-or-treaters.

our house it has a crowd
there's always something happening
and it's usually quite loud...

Happy Halloween!!!!!!
