What is it about babies and toddlers?  They're just so huggable!  Avery was as precious as ever!  I love the way she's sitting here with those little toes peeking out!  I've gotten to watch her grow... time passes way too quickly!  I'm just glad that we have photographs in order to preserve those moments that are here and gone before we know it!

Some of you may be tired of hearing about Ms. Sadie-Bug but I've had lots of people to ask how her party went!  We had a ton of family & friends here to celebrate and Sadie loved, LOVED her cake!  I was surprised after her official birthday cake smash session didn't go as well as I'd have liked!  I had to take the cake away from her... she was starting to look "crazy-eyed" from all the sugar!  ha...

I will share more of Sadie's party later... I have a couple of sessions ahead of her that I'm working on now.  Once those are done, I'll edit more from her party!  Thanks to everyone for asking about our baby girl!

What a difference a year makes.  We've had a busy day... shopping for  the perfect dress, buying a replacement cake (long story), a cake smash session...  and remembering where we were one year ago today.  We survived and our family is complete.  Savannah and Alex love their baby sister today just as much as they did the day she was born.  We are so blessed!

What a day!  February 6, 2008.
  

  

Along the way...
  

Happy 1st Birthday, Sadie-Bug!!!
