I just realized that I never shared some of the images I got of Genevieve and Gavin last month. I know, bad Nanna. I never really know if I’m going to be able to talk them into letting me photograph them when I visit – sometimes they do it, and sometimes they really don’t want to. I try not to push too hard, but I am not above bribing them. Fortunately, at least for the moment, they can be persuaded with pennies. One for every shot. And they count each one, believe me! Here are a few of my favorites…we don’t usually have the luxury of selecting their wardrobe ahead of time, but I have found it’s more important to seize the opportunity when I sense that they are in a cooperative mood, so ignore the hot pink…oh, and Gavin lost a front tooth so I was thrilled to get some of him with that milestone smile!

Please visit/like my friend Elissa Ashwood’s Facebook page “33 dresses”. She is starting 33 days of radiation to treat breast cancer, and is inviting all of us to join her in her quest to treat each day as a reason to celebrate! Why put off using the good china, wearing dresses, or calling those you love for a “special” day? They are all special!!! I’m going to be joining her, and I hope you do too. She will have a blog up and running soon, and I will have a special offer for everyone who shares in her mission – details soon!
