Before the Snow Flies!

I had planned to have Cadence put on her dance recital costume this summer and go in search of interesting 'venues' for some photos.  Summer came and went.  Fall came and went.  We got a couple of days last week where the weather was uncharacteristically warm so ... we threw on the tutu and took a few pics.

Not exactly what I had planned but good for a last minute effort don't you think?

By the time we got out of 'work' things had cooled down, but Cadence braved it and was mostly cooperative ...

You just might see one of these on the traditional Christmas photo card!

And Then She Was SIX!

Cadence's birthday weekend began with the Santa parade.  We enjoyed some prime real estate to see the big guy in red, followed by a roll down the hill, some night time park action and finally, festive fireworks!  Then the gang  joined us at the house for chili, dogs and cake.  There was a lot of noise and excitement leading up to the midnight birthday!

The next morning we let our tired little birthday girl sleep in before whisking her off for photos.  Forgot to take the pre photo pics this year :-(  She had some quiet time with her new BFF before the big party.

Cadence chose a gymnastics theme this year.  The children all got to try out the equipment and mom was allowed a whole 10 minutes on the floor for a few photos.  I am totally serious.  There was pizza, cake, presents and some 6 year old silliness to boot ... it was super!

Cadence we enjoy watching you grow each and every day.  You bring us more joy than you will EVER know.  We are sooooo very proud of the beautiful girl you are, inside and out.  We are the luckiest parents EVER!  Love you to the moon and back peanut ....
                                 Love, Mom and Dad

Time to Pick It Up ...

The big camera has been collecting dust lately.
It is time to pick it back up and resume 'action' ... soon, I hope!
Til then ... a few from the 'archives'.

Every single one of these, makes me smile .....

Halloween 2012

The rain did NOT dampen the 'spirits'!
