Down the Aisle!
The kids were in a wedding this weekend. Here's a picture of the two of them. Big Boy just turned 8 and Buttercup is 5. The wedding was at a country club near the beach so we got some great beach shots too! Maybe even a christmas card one.

Adorable...love the beach shot!

But it's waaaayyyy to early to even think about Christmas cards. Now Halloween cards...yes...but please not let it be Christmas card time. I got the kids really cute Halloween PJ's at the end of last season...so I am planning on doing cards.

Christina, they just look so grown up. The shots are beautiful. I just cannot believe how big DD has gotten...of course she was only 5 months old the last time I saw her. The beach shot is wonderful...I took some similar last weekend when we were at the beach...of course Henry wasn't wearing a tuxedo.
