Taste of Marietta Slideshow

This is a fun video of some of the people that participated in the facebook for charity and also those who enjoyed some of the great food at the Taste of Marietta.

Taste of Marietta - Well if you missed it this year, it was a blast. I estimate that there were about 50,000 people. It was elbow to elbow. I was offering facebook profile pictures in exchange for a canned good or donation. Above are a few shots of some of the kind individuals that participated in our cause. It was fun to meet everyone and to do good at the same time. Thanks to all!

So we are thinking about getting a new dog. Our very special Daisy passed away almost a year ago. She was our baby before our babies...You know what I mean. Now we are thinking about getting a new dog and all I want to do is find other rat terriers. Is this the best dog for our family? Although Daisy was our baby she probably wasn't the best for the kids. She was super high energy, very smart, and would snuggle but she did not like the kids to take her toys or food and snapped at the kids. Her time was just right but I sure do miss her. Sometimes I still see her in my peripheral vision and then notice it was a shoe (or something else). Time heals all but if you have recently lost a dog, DO NOT SEE Marley and Me...it is too much! I'd love to hear from you regarding the best dog for families. I would like a dog that would not dare to snap at a kid and doesn't shed. Please share!

Cover Heart Child for Calendar

This little one has been through so much. She is going to be our cover child for the 2010 Heart Calendar. If you have a child with a congenital heart defect, contact us today to be a part of our heart project calendar for 2010. We are currently shooting for it. Contact Theresa Burt at 770-846-1775.

Had to post some cute pictures from a session I had today. Big sister M has been through a lot with her heart defect, but she is so full of life and fun! I had a blast with the girls today. Thanks Carrie and Mike! If you know someone that has a heart defect and would like to impact the lives of other families going through the same thing, please have them contact me today at 770-846-1775 to schedule a session and share their story in the 2010 calendar. We will be scheduling sessions for the calendar through May 2009. Visit http://www.heartcalendarproject.com/ for more information.

Facebook for Charity! Be sure to visit with me at the Taste of Marietta where I will be taking facebook profile pictures in exchange for a canned good item or a $2 donation to benefith MUST Ministries. We will be located in front of Sugar Cakes Patisserie on North Park Square and Root Street at the West Cobb Magazine booth. Now is the time to improve your facebook profile picture!

Here's cute little N. She was just a sweet little thing to work with. She is the youngest of 4 and with her personality I can see she has adjusted well. She was so excited to eat her feet. Pretty soon those feet will be cruising around with her siblings. She was just too cute! Below is a funny quote that made me smile:

If your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time," you're the grandma."
-- Theresa Bloomingdale

Well, I did it...It is one very hard task for me. Every year, I try very hard to get a picture that I would like of my own children. This year the twins did great and the baby tried really hard. Candid shots are some of my favorites but I really wanted one of them all together with sweet smiles, I know, I know! Since 2 out of 3 are smiling, it will be a favorite for this year. I've posted two shots one is unretouched, and the other to show an example of a plastered smile (LOL). I surely didn't want that. LOL! I hope you get a laugh out of it!
