for lindsey

April 25, 2009 By Kelle

here ya go linds…
a little sneaky peeky at your widdle little.

sweet samantha is almost one!

ha ha. i absolutley love this next shot. love it. love it.

…and then just a few quick ones of a not-really-her-first haircut because we only had a bang trim. i had a haircut the other day and took her with me. angelic, she was. laid on my chest during my shampoo. sat in my lap during the cut. let me put curlers in her hair…had everyone laughing at her.

so, we are trimmed and looking very cute indeed.

brett just returned from rockford tonight, and i must go join him in the driveway. we’ll sit in lawn chairs and drink beer and watch lainey get her jammy feet black while she runs around in the dark, chasing dogs. so un-naples, and i love it. we are that family.

    Love the pics, that baby is adorable and lainey is too of course!!! Its okay to be un-Naples, we were at Ben and Jerrys in Naples and they have a fountain sprayer thingy in the ground that shoots up with colored lights and of course, all of the kids with us were running through it getting soaking wet…that was very un-naples of us and I am sure people were talking about us…but we don’t care!! 🙂 Its all about the moment!
