Domingos




Here is one of my favorite families! I've taught one, and work with another. Such precious people. The WIND was something crazy, but we managed to capture their family.

Savannah & Rakeem



These two graduates just finished up their first semester in college. They have done well, just as I expected.

Irish Twins anyone?




Here is super mom 101. These girls are only 11 months apart. Can you imagine? I can't. I just think these girls are super photogenic. Super sweet girls with super sweet mom and dad. You guys are troopers. We actually got a few of little Abby sitting straight up....she still isn't 7 months, yet. and though Molly didn't care too much for the whole session thing tonight, I got a precious smile out of her, don't you think!

Door Decorating Contest

The Charlie Brown Christmas door is mine, well really the credit goes to yearbook staff. They did it. Isn't it the cutest!

This is our toughest competition we think. It was Mrs. Freeny's door...SOOO creative!

All the kids really liked sponge bob door. I think it is really festive, too.



Here's a candyland door.


Last Jenny Craig's door with all of her multi-media kids as ornaments.
We have a door decorating contest at Northside every year. We had the competition today and there was some tough competition.

Finally decorating our tree














Can't you tell exactly what he is thinking! I don't want to break another one!


Since most of the work around the house is done, we set up our tree tonight. Our family is crazy about Christmas like most of yours, so it has been painful to not have our tree up. Tonight the kids did every bit of it themselves. I didn't advise on where to put the ornaments or anything. They did a great job. Bryant only broke one! After that I did say, no breakable ones for him. He then began to ask with each one he picked up, "Is this breakable, mommy?" He is so cute. I asked the kids to hold up their favorite ornament this year, and I snaped it of them holding it. I love how it turned out. I think I may do something special with those images?

Sophie Bug


We got Sophie in late 1998, she was the best duck hunting dog ever. By no means was she any one else's dog but Doug's. She never had much to do with the kids, but she wasn't snippy either, just Doug's dog. Well, a little over a year ago, we found out she had heart worms. Today was her last day with our family. I can't believe how hard it is to loose a dog. Pixie is our newest lab, though she won't ever replace Sophie, she is a great dog.....still pretty much a puppy. I took a picture of Doug and Sophie earlier in the week, it is not a great one, but at least we have some of the two of them together. We all knew she didn't have much time left.

Just to Brighten Your Day!


I don't think I've captured a shot like this one yet, I was so excited to get this. These boys are only four months old. They came into this world weighing only 2.9 & 2.14 pounds. What a miracle, huh!
