It's hard to believe that Robby is already 18 months old, and yet, here he is. He doesn't talk much, but he has personality by the truckload!

Florida Vacation

I have so many pics from our vacation before Thanksgiving, that I am still proofing them with no end in site LOL. I did finish the ones I intend to use for our Christmas card, and a handful that I loaded up to contest sites. Below is the latest to get Photo of the Day - this time at http://www.bestfoto.com/ for Black and White on 12/5/08. Riley is only 6, but she frightens me with how grown up she looks some times - I know I'm not the only mom that wants them to stay chubby little toddlers! (Those were the days) :-)

Pixels Are Like Cupcakes

In the market for a new camera? More megapixels does not equal "better". See this interesting and informative article in the NY Times:

PIXELS ARE LIKE CUPCAKES

Happy shooting!!

True Love

True love...forever. Alexia and Jeremy, you guys are all that. Thanks for being such good sports when I asked you to do silly things, and for bringing your "baby" Napoleon. :-) I am about half finished with your proofs, and I can't wait for you to see them all! Below are a few to enjoy until I get the slideshow up. (You guys are sooooo cute!)

Trick or Treat

Well, one holiday past...can you all believe that it's November already?? Halloween was a great time in the Davis neighborhood. My three youngest were golfers. Actually, Allie says that she was a "carrier" (caddy). All were super cute.

Here is Riley looking too grown up, which is becoming the norm lately - complete with her visor, golf shoes and golf glove. Riley is a REAL golfer, in case you didn't know. :-)

And how cute is Alex, modeling in her "Carrier" costume? What a ham!

A few pics of baby boy, super cute as usual. He's supposed to be a golfer too, but he had his face painted at Riley's school party and he wanted nothing to do with the toy golf clubs that came with his costume so he ended up looking like a clown or something. It may be a confusing costume, but it doesn't diminish his cuteness any!

Dom did trick or treat, but I had to catch a photo of him on the fly - he was in a hurry to get away from his embarrassing parents and get some candy. Go Blue!

My niece and nephew live in our neighborhood too, so we all went trick or treating together. Isn't this the most adorable Mummy Fairy and Indiana Jones you've ever seen?

And then the costume posing is over and we get to the Trick or Treating - FINALLY.

Robby didn't go Trick or Treating, but he got quality time with Nana - thanks for coming out to help Katy!!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween - now on to the rest of the holidays, and the remainder of 2008!

Fall Fun

Jess and Noli - you have a delightful and beautiful family!! So glad the weather held out for us. Here is a sneak peek for you to tide you over until I can finish proofing your session...your kiddos gave me too much material to work with LOL - just look how cute!
