Oooooh! Makes me want ANOTHER One!!

For those of you that don't check my photography blog regularly, I thought I'd post these few over here. She is Miss "S" and she's just a little doll! Her mom hired me to do her maternity shoot and then the newborn shoot and she was just so cute and sweet... I just wanted to steal her!!!!

Don't you just want to eat her up?!?!?!

I Love You Too!

Every night after my babies' are asleep, I go into their rooms, pull the covers over them, turn out the night lights and give them each kisses on their heads.... a ritual I LOVE and will surely miss when they're grown and gone.

Tonight, as I kissed Ash, I whispered in her ear, "Mommy loves you baby". And as I turned to walk back out of her room, I hear " I love you too mommy" in her sweet little tiny voice.

Best sound in the world. I have no idea how five little words can make you so happy to your core... but they do! :)

Christmas Tree Hunting

Off to Giesbrecht's we went, as we do every year! I thought I wanted another Noble... Ted insisted that last year I said I was going back to the Douglas... Of course, I thought I was right and we went with the Noble... he was right.
Ah well!! It still looks beautiful!



Here's Grandpa with his two biggest fans off to pick the perfect tree!




Jakey is such a Grandpa's Boy... he won't go to anyone else! Not even me!!





We ran into my mom Arif and Shakeel! What a coincedence!





SUCCESS!!! The first year that Ash hasn't been absolutely TERRIFIED of Santa... and this Santa was creepy to boot!!




And of course no photoshoot can go without one of Ash's gorgeous photos! Check out the chapped lips... ouch!





Here's THE ONE! We decorated it tonight and I didn't get any pictures... can you believe it?!?!? I plan on getting some shots tomorrow night with the kids thought. I think it was just too much in one day!

She's a GENIUS!!! (Warning: Mommy Brag Below)

Ok... maybe not a genius... but darn smart!! We had a parent teacher interview yesterday with Ashleigh's preschool teachers and they basically said that while she's only in 3 year old preschool, she is easily at a kindergarten level, almost grade one!! Her letter and number recognition, counting skills, shape recognition and preposition usage are highly above average!!

Even her social skills are excellent. She plays so well with other kids and always has friends around her.

She does need a little work with her fine motor skills (sissors, holding the pen, etc). She's just "on track" with that. But like Daddy says, if you're not first, you're last!! heehee!

YEY ASHLEIGH!!!! We're so proud of you baby!!

The Adventure of the Kirby Family Christmas Card

I have taken family photos for over 20 families in the past 2 months. I've done christmas cards for the majority of them and not to toot my own horn, but they looked pretty darn good.

This is THE BEST that I could get from my own kids. (And keep in mind, I said " THE BEST").

Ringing in the Holiday... Kirby STYLE!

Let it SNOW!!!

It actually snowed!! And we got a TON of it!! Ted took the kids out and sledded and built snowmen! Jakey wasn't too fond of the cold and my camera wasn't too fond of the dark so only a few pics!!
