Mautz Family




























These kids were so well behaved and cooperative. We took family pictures for their Christmas card.
Their littlest girl is friends with my 3 year old nephew. She says she is going to marry him. :)

Pretty children's books




I saw these whilst Christmas shopping and love the colors and pictures on them.

3 1/2




Sammy turned 3 1/2 yesterday. I told him he wasn't allowed to grow up. He looked troubled and concerned and put his hands up in question and said, "Why? I have to grow up! Why don't you want me to grow up? I want to be a man!"
I told him I liked him the way he was now, but that I would like him at any age.
"I have to grow up to be a man."
"What are you going to be when you are grown up then? A pilot?"
"No, an astronaut. But I want to be an astronaut now, a boy astronaut."

We love our little astronaut.

Beitler Family





























5 girls and 1 boy. This family all had piercing blue eyes. Isn't that little boy so handsome?! We stayed warm inside on the snowiest day this year and shot family pictures before this beautiful family moves out of town.
