Welcome Carleton Scott Howell! Born May 22, 2012 at 11:14pm weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. He is just a tiny little peanut. Here is his birth story as told by me, his auntie.

We very impatiently awaited the news of whether baby Howell was a boy or a girl.

So, Dave came to announce……it’s a……!

Brenna (big sister) was hoping for girl to play with. And as daddy Dave put it “She will still be the only princess in the house”. Brenna was not so happy about that.  It’s a BOY!

Grandpa Carl, Uncle Dan and Daddy. love this.

Big yawn.

Very alert.

Love this.

Awwwwwww……

Welcome to the world Carleton. Auntie Robin loves you, cousin Vivian cannot wait to snuggle you and you may just give Uncle J baby fever.

Grace or Leah as many of you know her is one of my best friends and happens to be my big sister. As if you couldn’t tell, we are related. I cannot even express how happy I am for her and Dave. I cannot wait to meet my new niece or nephew. That new baby smell…yum! Oh, and I will get my baby fix. Love you to the moon and back! Keep that baby in there until Sunday when I come back to civilization please.

Vivian enjoyed rubbing Auntie Grace’s belly.

I’m still here!  A little down time to re-prioritize my life. I will soon be juggling studying (CPA exam), photography, and a day job. It should prove to test my every limitation. But this is something that needs to be done to ensure my future and  my families future.  I have been putting this off for a long time! I started and did not finish the exam back in 2006. Here goes nothing!

No worries I will still be photographing and blogging away just maybe at a slower pace. I have been day dreaming about all my ideas for upcoming sessions.  I need to get my  ideas out of my head! I am jumping at the bit to pick up  my camera. I am booked through most of June and I am very limited in October due to weddings, etc. Email me at robin@robinday.net if you are interested in scheduling a summer (July/August) or late Fall (November) portrait session.

Be on the look out for some new stuff this month! Yay!

I leave you with my little sweat pea “The Garden Helper”.

So I tried to re-create a picture from one year ago when Vivian was 7 months old. I managed to squeeze her into the same outfit. Teehee

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!

Valentines 2011

Valentines 2012

I cannot believe my baby is 18 months!!!! Omgeeeee!!! Some words that come to mind to describe her are:

— sweet
— snuggey buggey
— kissable
— squishy (although not so much anymore)
— social butterfly
— terd nugget (per J)
— sweat pea
— pickle
— happy crappy
— My BABY…oh wait…toddler.

She is so much fun at his age. Always happy as she has been since birth. I just love her BIG personality and how sociable she is. She will wave exuberantly at anyone and won’t stop until they wave back. LOVE IT! She loves to give hugs and kisses and is very loving. It’s true. I. LOVE. THIS. KID.

Anyway, here is a trip down memory lane.
