Jack's First Halloween

Check out my sisters NEW Blog!

Lisa Cooks Allergy Free BLOG!

If I had one word to describe my sister Lisa, it would be AMAZING. She has done so many impressive things in her life, personally and professionally and now she's embarking on a new adventure...CHEF! How she got 75 lbs smaller and became a fabulous chef, allergy-free cooking guru and soon to be cookbook author-is now revealed on her blog. http://lisacooksallergenfree.blogspot.com/ There is also a direct link on the left-hand side of my blog as well. She is such a talented person in so many ways-but her best characteristic-which will always be one of the main reasons she's successful is that she has the BEST attitude and outlook on life of anyone I know. She is so positive and just an all-around happy person. ANYWAY-check out her blog and try the recipes she has posted AND start looking forward to her allergy free cook book!!!

My little sister's gift

I've been meaning to post pictures and write about how my sister Alivia has an amazing gift. She is a senior at FSU and a studio art major. One of her early classes was photography and that is when our family discovered her beautiful gift! My first experience was when she came to Jacksonville and took gorgeous black and whites of Matt and me (with Jack in the belly)! And recently she came over for the weekend and took Jack's birth announcement pics. The Seminoles were playing at the Jags stadium that weekend so it worked out well. I've posted some pics of Liv and Jack from the birth announcement photo shoot weekend and some early belly shot that Alivia took a few months back. I will post all the pics from the recent photo shoot when we get them back. I can't wait to see how they turned out. Alivia really had her work cut out for her. The goal was a naked, sleeping baby- and let me tell you-we had quite the time getting him to stay asleep...naked....with huge, bright photography lights on him AND we had several accidents-you know what happens with naked baby boys! I think Alivia might have ruled out opening a studio to take baby pictures full time post graduation-she was so patient-that's an Aunt's love! Love you Liv! We'll see you in two weeks at Florida State family weekend!! yay!!!

My sis has a gift!
