I've known Christina for a while and just met Scott on Thursday, but oh my gosh these two were made for each other. They clearly have such a connection and just really love to be around each other. This post is just a teaser, I promise a much larger post of this wedding to come soon, but for now enjoy this picture. Kinda makes me want to get married again. (let me clarify that I want to marry the same man that I am married to currently..... not someone else.) But I am sure you knew that already. <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit1-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />A very happy Saturday!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-25992691811638460102011-07-29T10:31:00.003-05:002011-07-29T10:45:49.843-05:00Sweet Baby LeviOver the past few years I have gotten the chance to photograph this family a bunch of times. They are moving across the country to Utah soon, but before they do we were able to sneak in a newborn photo shoot. Abby has a little brother now! Baby Levi! And what a cutie he is. He really is a sweet baby and I know I will miss these guys. Good luck Jen and Mikal. We'll miss you!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1leviedit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1leviedit1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/2leviedit5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1leviedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1leviedit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1leviedit3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />I'll end with this one.

I haven't been online in over a week. Mainly due to our internet not working, but also because I have just been spending time with my boys. We've been playing in the pool, reading, playing starwars, planting flowers in the yard and just enjoying each other. So, while I haven't been online very much in the month of July, I promise I am still here. And to be honest again, it's been kinda nice. :)<br /><br />Just don't think that I haven't gotten my camera out lately. This little beauty is my niece, Aria. She was born 8 days before Caden. They are the best of buddies. Besides the fact that Caden is enthralled with her and wants nothing more than to pull her hair. :) But I digress. Aria is such a doll of a baby. Happy Birthday little Miss. I sure do love you!!!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday1bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday12.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1aria1bday6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Wednesday!!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-56307016858206493022011-06-28T10:54:00.002-05:002011-06-28T11:15:18.081-05:00Cardwell Family PreviewA year ago I asked Niki Cardwell of <a href="http://stelladolcephotography.com/Home/tabid/282/Default.aspx">Stella Dolce Photography</a> to photograph my birth. She came, shot the pictures, and now I have those memories to hold on to forever. It's a year later, but I have to give a huge shout out to Niki for taking those pictures for me. And in turn I was able to shoot her adorable family. Thank you for letting me take your pictures and I hope you enjoy your preview. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1familyedit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1familyedit21.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1familyedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1familyedit16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />I couldn't not put this picture on here to share.

Sometimes I wish I had more hours in the day. I know we all feel that way. :) But I really want to share this with you. My son Jackson spending some good reading time. I've signed the boys up at the local library for a reading program this summer. I believe they have to have 10 hours of reading complete by the 16th of July. It's coming up and I am hounding my boys to be responsible and complete all 10 hours on time. So just about every day we have some good reading time. I am so proud of my boys. They might be slightly motivated by the prize they'll get in the end (who knows what it'll be...) but hey, motivation is motivation. :) If our Nashville sun ever comes back out i'll take some back yard pool pics and share them. Oh I love my boys. Happy Summer!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-43043872523495430912011-06-19T19:40:00.003-05:002011-06-19T19:57:10.548-05:00Baby Jackson PreviewI am feeling so very blessed today. Life is going great. The sun came out today, birds were chirping, children were singing in church, daddy's all over were being celebrated. This week is busy for my family. Then we get to go camping with all of my husband's family. My boys are so excited about camping and boating and playing with their cousins. But I digress. The theme of today is fathers. To my dad, my dad-in-law, my husband, my <a href="http://amandakayphotography.com">best friend's</a> dad (who I definitely consider one of my dads :), and all the dad's out there, I honor you. Being a parent is one of the hardest and thankless jobs you can commit yourself to. But we thank you nonetheless. You are so appreciated.<br /><br />This leads me into little baby Jackson's preview. Jackson is the first baby to new parents Anna and Brandon. And what a cutie he is! Jackson (who has the most fabulous name if you ask me!) is such a good baby. He didn't want to sleep, so he just kinda hung out and went a long for the ride. Anna, thanks for letting me take some pictures of your new little man. I hope you and Brandon are having a wonderful first father's day together. Enjoy your preview!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonedit15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonedit5crop.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonedit16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonedit7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Sunday!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-717714482294106462011-05-30T09:14:00.004-05:002011-05-30T09:25:28.332-05:00J. Magnolia Crochet DesignsA while back I had been asked by a few people to do newborn shoots and I wanted to expand my newborn prop collection so I asked my super talented <a href="http://j2magnolia.blogspot.com/">SIL Joanna</a> to make me this baby nest. It is SO cute!! Doesn't little baby Kennedy look adorable in it?! Joanna makes a ton of different items from headbands, to hair barrettes and scarfs. If you'd like to order anything from her, check out her website. Thanks <a href="http://j2magnolia.blogspot.com/">Joanna</a> for helping me with this. I promise to put it to good use. :) <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/2kennedyedit15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-52932504991390974512011-05-27T21:53:00.002-05:002011-05-27T22:08:38.580-05:00Kennedy LouiseOh man this little girl is as sweet as they come. I had the pleasure to spend some time with Miss Kennedy Louise when she was just a few days old. I love newborn shoots! They take a little time but then it's an excuse to snuggle and hug them. Keena I hope you enjoy your preview. Your daughter is the sweetest!! :) <br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kennedyedit9bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kennedyedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kennedy10.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kennedyedit7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kennedy1edit.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-48137234399167607222011-05-26T14:05:00.003-05:002011-05-26T14:18:18.068-05:00Mary Dawn Preview<img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1MDedit8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />This beautiful woman is Mary Dawn. Mary Dawn has been a friend of mine since I worked for a dental office here in Nashville. I think it's been about 2 years since I've worked there. My how time flies, but I just LOVE the people there and am so glad I've kept up with some of them. Mary Dawn has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and will start chemotherapy very soon. We've been talking about doing her pictures since I worked at the office but we just never made it a priority. I am so glad I could come spend the morning with you Mary Dawn. You are such a light in my life and I just appreciate all your positivity. Life is too short to take it for granted. You are a beautiful and caring woman and I am so glad to know you. Enjoy your preview!<br /><br />This is art that Mary Dawn makes. Isn't it fantastic!?<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1art4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1art2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1art1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1MDedit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1MDedit3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1MDedit7bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1MDedit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1cadensmile.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Caden came along on this shoot too.

I have quite a few friends who are about to be mothers in the next month. Some first time mothers, some it's their 4th time around, but it's all very exciting and each deserve ample amounts of appreciation for what they are about to do.... Birth is probably the very hardest thing I have ever done. It was painful, trying, sweaty, and just down right difficult. But even with all that pain, giving birth was the very best thing I have ever done. The most selfless thing I have probably done, (although at the time it probably didn't feel selfless because I just wanted that baby out!) :) On top of everything else, giving birth to that perfect little person leads you into motherhood. And motherhood is what we are celebrating today. Honoring the mother's who have shown us all the way. I applaud you all for your sleepless nights, for your feedings around the clock, for your chauffeuring to and from school or dance or soccer practice. There are no road maps in motherhood, but as far as I am concerned the world is still a wonderful place to be. 'All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.' - Abraham Lincoln<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kshower4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Have a wonderful Mother's Day!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-61384999946113083022011-05-06T19:09:00.004-05:002011-05-06T19:18:45.324-05:00Emma got baptized!Recently I was asked to do a mini session with miss Emma who had just been baptized. Isn't she so beautiful?! She just has such a sweet spirit. She is a dancer and is in the performance of Cinderella at MTSU this weekend. Go Emma! I am sure you are a beautiful ballerina and will do awesome in your performance. In other news, I am a little behind with my blogging, so hopefully I can get caught up soon cause there's good stuff to share. Until then, enjoy Emma's preview pictures!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1emma2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1emma4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1emma5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1emma7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1emma13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Friday!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-23083130477667795472011-04-11T17:00:00.003-05:002011-04-11T17:10:16.014-05:00My sweet boyMy middle child, Jackson, walked in from playing outside, handed me this flower with a smile on his face and took off back outside.

Hold moley do I love this picture! <br /><br />This last picture is for Brexton's parents who tell me he is quite the 'mover and groover' type. He loves to get up and go. It works out nicely for pictures though. :)<br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1bedit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><br />I am sure you all remember Miss Abigail.

I promise some day you'll like me. <br /><br />She's going to be a big sister in July!!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1fivasedit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1fivasedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br />I love this first photo of her.

This is going to be a business post. Full of information and NO pictures. So if you're still reading, thank you! lol. I know I have been saying for a (very) long time that I am working on an actual website. And I am. I promise. :) But having a baby, not to mention 2 other boys, has kept me pretty darn busy this past year, and things like websites have fallen by the way side. But don't lose faith in me. It's coming...<br /><br />A couple of items of business, I am right now scheduling shoots for spring and summer. If you know you want to book, do it fast so I can make sure to get you in the schedule. It's going fast. For the remainder of 2011, shoots will be $100. This includes an hour to an hour and a half of custom photography and 25-40 edited images on a high resolution disk. <br /><br />Last year, we had great success with the Easter mini-shoots. I am going to offer <span style="font-weight:bold;">Easter/Spring mini sessions</span> again this year. The date will be <span style="font-weight:bold;">Saturday, April 9th</span>. I will take 3-5 sessions for that date. If those fill up and I have 3 or more people interested, I plan to schedule another date. Location for these mini-sessions is still being determined, but probably be somewhere in Belle Meade area. Please contact me if you are interested, for more specifics and for times. We will not be using a bunny again this year. If I can get my hands on a chick, we'll do that. Otherwise, we can still use Easter-ish props if you like. Or you can plan on the session to just be 'springy'. Again, contact me if you are interested. The cost will be $35 for 25 minutes of custom photography of up to 3 people, and up to 10 edited images on a disk. This will be the last time I can offer these mini-shoots for this price. <br /><br />I have had a few people ask about photographing babies and pregnant bellies.... If you are pregnant or know someone who is and would like to get maternity and newborn shots done I would like to run a special. A "Mommy and Me" package consisting of two full shoots, bellies and babies..., for $165. It's a savings of 35 bucks. So take advantage of this deal.<br /><br />And lastly, I would like to say thank you so much to my awesome clients. Your beautiful faces, smiles, children, animals, laughter, is truly the reason I do this and the reason I LOVE to do this. Thank you so much!! <br /><br />Happy Monday! <br /><br />Christy WilliamsChristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-76243788750749931432011-03-25T21:46:00.002-05:002011-03-25T22:16:44.492-05:00Jackson Turns 4!So I have decided that I am going to start sharing more personal blog posts with y'all. I will hopefully be posting more often and keeping this blog up to date. :) Today my little man turned 4 years old. I can't believe it's already been 4 years. Time sure does fly when you are having fun (and cleaning, and teaching, and scrubbing, and playing, and yelling) (not that I ever yell of course....) Here are some pictures from our day with Jackson.<br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jackson4bday.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />He is such a ham... I think he really enjoyed the special attention he got today. In our family we try to make sure the person who's birthday it is feels super special all day, starting with streamers and presents in the morning, to ending with what ever they want for dinner and what they want to do in the evening. <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1michelejackson.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />My sweet neighbor and friend, Michele, came with us out to lunch today. Jackson loves Michele. It just wouldn't be his day if she didn't come along.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1caden8mo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />This little guy came along too. What a looker he is!! He looks so stunned to be a part of today's festivities. <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksonwindow.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />On a last minute whim, daddy was able to sneak away from the office to spend lunch with us too. Jackson was so happy that he got just a little extra daddy time today. Lately we haven't seen daddy all too often, so it is so great when we can make these moments count.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksondaddy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksondrink.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksondrink2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1cadenhighchair.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Look who spent his first meal in a 'restaurant' high chair. He loved sitting like such a big boy and eating with us. What a cutie! But I am partial.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1jacksoncupcake.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Then we took Jackson to CiCi's Cupcakes to pick out his very own cupcake. He was so excited. I wish I had gotten a picture of the cupcake. It was pink. I do love how my sweet little man loves his pink. :)<br /><br />Then we came home and played his new Indiana Jones Lego game on the PS3. We are very blessed to have Mr. J in our family. I couldn't have asked for a better kid!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-52782971182028866212011-03-24T21:43:00.003-05:002011-03-24T22:16:20.642-05:00College Roommates - 10 years later<img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kidsedit5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />My sister in law Jessie had the chance this week to spend time with her old college roommate Tiffany. The two of them haven't been in the same state for close to ten years (I believe)... but for them it's like time hasn't passed. I loved seeing Jessie's happy face as she got to spend time with someone who knew her way back when. I know the feeling, all too well, of loving that precious time with a friend who lives far away... <br /><br />Aren't they cute?! I want to jump in there and have a good time right along with them.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1girlsedit13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />I was so flattered when Jess asked me to take some pictures of them... I wish it hadn't been so cold for these poor kids, but man are they cute!!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kidsedit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1kidsedit9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1girlsedit9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Thursday!!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-72932170365395329482011-03-17T15:11:00.002-05:002011-03-17T15:38:06.013-05:00V Family PreviewWhat made this photo shoot so fun was the age range. Baby Megan is 10 months old and Grandma is... well, she's older than 10 months. :) I don't think I am including a big group shot in this preview, but there's 3 families and a sweet grandma! But I really enjoyed being with this fun loving family. Thank you so much for the chance to hang out with you all for the day! Hope you enjoy your preview!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit14.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1edit5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Thursday!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172811867056357680.post-35019736958097773722011-03-01T10:03:00.002-06:002011-03-01T10:09:02.758-06:00Sweet MorningsSometimes little moments in the day are what get you by. <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/cnwphotographyphotos/1changingtable.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><br />Happy Tuesday!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03224198868420535358noreply@blogger.com2
