A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch!

One of my favorite evenings of the year - the visit to the Celebration Pumpkin Patch held at our Church - Community Presbyterian Church of Celebration. The girls loved picking out their favorites {and posing for pictures as you can see}...they seem SO big to me all of a sudden! There were some parents there with infants and they were propping them up among the pumkins for pics - and I was very nostalgic to think that it was not too long ago we were doing the same...time really flies - just trying to hold onto every precious moment!!!

Stacey Kane coming to Celebration!

I am SO excited because the AMAZINGLY talented photographer Stacey Kane is coming to Celebration next weekend. I have been working with Stacey for over a year now in the wedding-side of life. She came down from Maine last Spring and shot Kathryn and my new headshots for the EC website and is coming back to shoot our girls for holiday cards!

If anyone is interested in this special opportunity to have one of the BEST and most respected family/children/wedding photojournalists in the country [her work has appeared in Martha Stewart Weddings, In Style, People, US and a number of books to name just a few!] get in touch with Stacey to set up a time to meet up with her in Celebration or over at BoardWalk [great background locations there!] where she is staying. Sessions are $150 with all photos posted online afterwards. Her email address is: stacey@staceykane.com or phone is 207.653.2356 - she will be here Oct. 19-22nd. Check out her blog for some of her latest work!

Cleaning and Crossword Puzzles

Crack us up - Check out Gracie in action doing the dishes and working on her crossword puzzles...hmmm, perhaps a reflection of spending so much time with 'the Grandma's?' :)

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Last week brought much needed cool(er) breezes so PG and the girls broke out the kite and had some fun in the park in front of our house!

Mommy off to Antigua!

Well - I am off yet again! This time to Antigua for the opening of a new Sandals Resort! I will be there for the whole weekend hosting the who's who of bridal media on all that is new with Sandals Weddings!

Daddy and the girls will be just fine - but I always hate to be away - especially over a weekend!! Could be worse I know - but I will be rooting for team Galaxy soccer team {Patrick is the coach for the 3rd season!} from afar and missing all the great things that a fall weekend in Celebration brings.

Down for the Count...

Well, our little mad-blogger has been absent after a stong start this weekend. Poor Annie has been down for the count with a fever, sore throat and bark-ey cough for the past 3 days...they are always so little and sad when they are sick. She has been here at home with me all week [with some quality Gramma care in between] and I take her to the Dr. this afternoon. My guess - Strep Throat. Hope we get a stong antibiotic to knock it out and that it does not make its way through all the rest of us!

Gracie at the Park

Nothing beats a morning at our favorite Spring Park in Celebration!
