Evie's momma finally broke down and bought a new camera!

And by broke down, I do mean snapped up a Canon Rebel XSi as fast at the credit card transaction would go through! (Yes, it's completely paid for now.)

I've really enjoyed getting the hang of photography in general and learning the different functions of the snazzy camera. I don't think I'll ever make a dime off of my photography skills (or lack thereof), but at least I'll have some lovely pictures of Evie to record the early days, months, and years of her precious life. 

We celebrated the extraordinary awesomeness* of my motherhood on Mother's Day by going to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Luckily, the weather cooperated for some beautiful photographs of Lil Miss Priss.
(*
my awesomeness is simply defined by keeping Evie fed, clothed, alive and well so far!)

My pipe dream is to one day have enough talent to rouse a friend or family member into asking for my "services" to document a special occasion in their lives.  Till then, I'm just going to point, shoot, and document Evie's cuteness!

"Hi Trot!"

B- E- A- U-tiful Blue Eyed Baby!


Lil Fairie Baby!


Evie's smiles are irresistible. 
You can't NOT laugh when she starts having one of her giggle fits.



Playing in one of the fountains at the ABG. 
In Evie's eyes, this is simply the best bathtub ever.



I like to call this picture my "Sunshine Baby" -- it was such a beautiful morning to take pictures on Mother's Day at ABG.

Hi, Stranger

Whew, it's definitely been a while. I will quickly admit that blogging is has not been a priority of mine and I'm not the best at keeping up with this site. That being said, I've recently decided to "re-dedicate" this blog to it's original purpose: documenting the goings-on of the Yankee (Chris), the Peach (me), and the Lil Peach (Evie).  

And by documenting, I do mean pictorial documentation since I'm too lazy to type much of anything non-work related these days. Since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, please consider these photos my 7,000+ word essay:


Hello, I'm Evie.
My mommy's fantastic parenting skills include
pulling me
around in a bucket,
while wild dogs attempt to eat me for supper.




Rub a dub dub, in the tub.




Uncle Battle's guitar skills fascinate me.
And only me, so far.




Enjoying my first teething biscuit.
These things are like concrete when they dry,
so Mommy likes to give me one right before bath time.



I'm so polite and I always chew with my mouth closed.


I wait patiently for my food. Every. Single. Time.  (riiiiiight.)


let's chat!

Getting To Know You...

A few pictures over the last month...


Trot and Evie became instant buddies...



Getting lots of kisses from Mama!





Posing for the camera!




Snoozing during her first week home:

GOING HOME!

Our little Yellow Jacket, ready to go home! Such an alert little lady!

MORE HOSPITAL PICS..

Very tired Mama:



Proud Dada!




EVIE'S HERE!

Yes, she came 6 weeks ago - but of course, I'm slow to update this page!!

Evie decided she wanted to come at her own pace - so after about 34 hours of contractions and about 12 hours of active labor, she just did not want to come down any more. She was quite comfortable in her warm world and didn't want to come out.

The doctor recommended we go the c-section route- so after a few more pushing attempts, an epidural, and some wierd forceps device getting involved, we decided c-section would be the optimal path to delivery!

 Eight minutes later, she was here!



Evelyn Harper Sinotte was born at 3:36 AM on Tuesday, October 6th. For those of you sharp-wits... yes, that is actually Chris and Katie's 2nd wedding anniversary!
