That one was my husband's idea...ha ha, get it?

Here are a few from over fall break....before the Mojo mess!

 

 

 

MOJO IN THE MOUNTAINS!

Over the fall break, we went to the Mountains.  I haven't posted anything about it because it was the worst trip of my life until God came through once again, and turned the whole thing around.  Let me explain. 

My husband and I, our two sons, their two friends, two of our dogs, and my parents went up for a long weekend to Highlands, NC.   The house we stayed was amazing and happened to back up to the Sumter National Forrest.  The leaves were in full change....just a reminder of God's handy work.  Everything was going great...til Saturday, when I forgot about leaving the dogs outside alone.  Although only a few minutes had past,  Maggie was alone at the door waiting to be let in.  Our toy poodle, Mojo, was no where to be seen.  We all started calling for him, we spread out, eventually going door to door..but nothing.   The day went on....still nothing.  The night came with cold 40 degree temps and a fast whipping wind.  I was heartbroken.  Next day, we made up flyers, posting them in town, and in neighbor's mailboxes.....called the local radio station, vets, Humane Society, everything we could think of.  We even took out an ad in the local paper, but it only ran 1 time a week, on Thursdays.  That afternoon, we headed back to Augusta without him.  It was the worst.   

7 long nights passed with a lot of tears and prayers.  I had almost given up when we got a phone call Sunday morning from a lady in Highlands who happened to be from Augusta.  She had Mojo and was bringing him to me the next day.  It was amazing.  This 13 pound shaggy haired 4 legged little guy was allright.  I don't know how he survived having never spent the night outside.  I wish he could talk... 

He was thinner and full of burrs...but happy to be home.  He was a brave little soldier, surrounded by God's armour!  Thank you God! 

(next time, I think I'll board him!)

Here's Mojo the day before he disappeared.

 

Here he is the day he came home!

~sassy but sweet~

What a little spunk!  (she's not going to like that, but she is!)  Cute, funny, sweet, and absolutely LOVES horses.  I could tell from our session just how much she loves them!  We had a lot of fun and the setting was beautiful!  I shot her big bro several months ago downtown.  I can see how they're related, ha ha.

 

 

 

 

 

  

that's the notes for now.......

Boys do love a John Deere!

Seeing that they've been around since my great great great great great GREAT grandfather's time, (you know, a while), I was so happy to see that this little boy loves to play with his John Deere tractors!  He was just adorble!  a boys boy, if you will.....I had so much fun on this shoot!  Check out these of little man "P"!

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND THAT CROQUET game thing is NOT SO BAD, either!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Annual Check up!

Well I loaded up the animal brood this morning and headed to the vet.

As we pulled into the parking lot, Maggie, my humane society adoptee knew something was up.  She's a tad neurotic and is very keen on matters such as these, including knowing my whereabouts at all times!

Once everyone was inside, (I wish I could have seen what we looked like!), the neuroses moved to the next level....shaking.

  The shaking began, poor thing, reminding me of coming off anesthesia after surgery, teeth chattering and all.  I felt so bad for her, but we HAD to do it.  I'd put it off a dozen times already!  Well, all went fine and we made it home, no worse for the wear.  (feelings a little hurt maybe, but nothing major)  I checked my email and a friend unknowingly sent me this, which personifies exactly how Maggie felt earlier:

 

Heck, for that matter, don't we all feel like that sometimes at the doc's?

I know I do......I guess Maggie comes by it naturally.

that's the notes for now.....

Brain malfunction!

Well, I was talking with my sister and she asked me, "I thought your mini sessions included a complimentary box of cards?", and I said "They do" and she said, "well, it doesn't say that on your blog" and I said "It doesn't?" and she said, "No".  So I freaked out and immediately went online to see if she just missed it and apparently, um,  I didn't put it on there or it somehow got deleted before I uploaded the info.....anyhow, I need to make it clear now:

The 75.00 fee for your Holiday Mini Session INCLUDES A COMPLIMENTARY

BOX OF HOLIDAY CARDS OF YOUR CHOICE VALUED AT $50.00.
