I am in ♥.... { Bark River Michigan Child Photographer }

My baby boy...I so love him...his smile just makes everything better! He's been having a few rough days...those darn molars are coming in...all four of them...which means no sleep for him or for mommy. But today he gave me this and like I said...it makes everything all better...how could it not. Today I got my new camera...nope didn't win it, had to buy it...but oh SO WORTH IT!

Beautiful Girl { Bark River Michigan Child Photographer }

I look at this picture of her and just smile...how could you not! This one was my favorite from her mini session. I absolutely ♥ when she comes and visits...I don't think she could ever take a bad picture. Can't wait until I see her next month!

My baby is ONE! { Bark River Michigan Child Photographer }

I can't believe my baby is one...he's actually been one since March but I just didn't want to believe it LOL! The moment he was placed in my arms I knew he was meant to complete our family. What a wonderful and busy first year it was! Now we are working on walking and he's not quite sure about that. He stands up and I encourage him to come towards me and he shakes his head no and sits back down...what a stinker! I do know this... he won't be walking for long..he'll be running! Is he not the most precious little guy EVER!

AUTISM { Bark River Michigan Child Photographer }

April is Autism Awareness Month. Our oldest was diagnosed with having Autism when he was two and a half. When he was around ten months I started seeing signs and all my family and friends said he was fine and not to worry. I mean how could there be anything wrong with him...just in May of 2002 we had lost our twin daughters, Payton and Hope..how could we be given any more heartache? But I knew otherwise. By January 2005 our son was a completly different child. It was at this time our fight began. I think for us the hardest part wasn't the news that our son had just been diagnosed with having Autism, but the fight to get the appointments for the doctors because they want to do this test or that test, to get all the therapies that is needed to help him, and can't forget the fight with the insurance co. because most of the things aren't even covered by them...that is what drains you. So after years of many doctors appointments, weekly therapy appointments and many calls to the insurance company our little man has come so far!

This past Febuary he woke up on a Saturday morning and just started talking. Now he had some words before and usually it only lasted for weeks and then he lost them. But this time it was different..it was A LOT of words and it was ALL DAY LONG! It was like he had six years of talking he had to get out and I was loving every second of it! Everyday he is talking more and everyday I ask him to say certain words just because it sounds so adorable coming out of his little mouth..crazy I know..but I have waited years for this. One of my favorites is "I love you mom" and then two days ago he just started saying "I promise to love you forever always" and you know I couldn't stop crying...something so simple but yet so amazing to a mom.
