Fun Shot

I just played with some shots that make up a panorama image from our trip to Canmore this summer...it was just taken with our little point and shoot but it worked pretty well when I stitched them together in Photoshop. Here's the final image.

Linnea 7 months old

Linnea is now 7 months old and more and more fun and interactive. She enjoys "playing" piano, reading books (sucking on the pages), playing in her exersaucer and jumping in her merry muscles. She loves long walks in her stroller when it's not too cold out and sucking on anything she can get her hands on. She has enjoyed yams and other solid foods and has 4 teeth. Here's a photo I took of her a couple weeks ago.

Linnea: Food, Fun and Pillows

Here are some shots from yesterday! Amelia and Linnea, Amelia's photos of us feeding our little girl for the very first time, and photos of Tom with Linnea and Jeff and Tom throwing Jodi's handmade pillows at Linnea which she loves!! Thanks Jodi for providing soft, squishy toys that won't hurt her when tossed directly in her face! Thanks Aunt Sandra and Uncle Tom for the blocks she starting to play with and to Jerrold and Michelle for the little toy "keyboard" she's starting to bang on and enjoys moving around, picking it up and sucking on it.

Solid Food!!!!

Today was the big day. We introduced solid food to Linnea although I thought it was pretty liquid-y still. :) We fed her egg yolks that were softly boiled and mashed with milk. The first time she wasn't entirely sure but this evening she ate the entire yolk! It was a pretty messy experience but really cool to see her eat. "Auntie" Amelia was over this afternoon and photographed the first time she ate with Jeff and I present. I haven't had a chance to upload the photos to the computer yet but will get that done hopefully tomorrow. Tonight was super fun as we had "Uncle" Tom visiting us. She danced and giggled and laughed all night and was quite entertaining. We had a great day today and I enjoyed taking a little time away from work. The rest of the week looks crazy and very busy with several family portrait viewings here and a couple maternity studio sessions. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that Linnea slept for 13 hours last night and I actually went in her room this morning at 11am to wake her up! I stood by her crib watching her sleep for 5 minutes before she stirred awake.

Linnea 6 months old

She's done it!! She is now over 6 months old and healthy as can be. Today we went to visit the doctor...first time since about 7 weeks old so I guess it was time. She is 25 1/2 inches long and 17 lbs. She is average in height and weight for her age. Here are her developmental updates:
-Rolls front to back and back to front
-Has gotten up on all fours (ONCE only) with hands on floor and feet on floor, bum in the air (similar to a poorly executed plank) LOL
-Has two teeth and is still regularly teething so I'm sure those top two incisors will come in soon
-Can hold a glass with both hands and wants to drink from it but doesn't know how to drink
-Will start solid foods this week, untraditionally though - gasp, not with rice cereal...we plan on feeding her softly boiled egg yolks and then begin to introduce one vegetable at a time and then fruit.
-Can sit up on her own unattended for about 10 minutes now without toppling over.
-Reaches and grabs toys, moves around on floor, loves to suck on feet and anything she can get her hand on including my hair
-Squeals all the time and babbles a lot
-Happy, content and plays strange with people she doesn't know
-Is freaked out by skyping...doesn't understand how it works but it's cool to watch her just stare at the laptop screen in awe.
-Hair in the front is past her eyes...I have to pull it back with clips often
-Naps in her crib regularly now and has never cried for longer than 15 minutes when plunked in there for naps. Sleeps on average 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hrs+ every nap. She naps 2-3 times a day most days and continues to sleep all night long even when she doesn't feel well.
-Loves to be flipped upside down and lifted up in the air and twirled.
-Loves to see herself in mirror.
-Loves to jump in Merry Muscles every morning for about an hour. Gets great exercise!! Loves to stand as well.

I've included a couple shots taken of Linnea sitting on her own for the first time in her "Little Pumpkin" sleeper from Ang (sorry the cords she's wearing are much too long but they were clean!!), and there are a couple shots I debated putting on of her licking a wine glass that were just too cute and a couple of her in her Merry Muscles...

Back to editing and proofing sessions...lots of orders this time of year!!

Until next time,

Rachel

Linnea - again

I've been super busy editing sessions and making albums the last couple weeks. You'll notice there are quite a few sessions uploaded to my blog. During this process I've been photographing Linnea quite a bit this week. She's changing fast and one thing I noticed is that last week she has a new squeal and it's quite high pitched and very loud! Today, another thing has changed. Although Linnea can roll over and has since 3 1/2 months old she only started rolling over in order to reach something if she wanted it. So today she exhibited rolling over from her back to her stomach several times in a row in order to grab and suck on a toy. And tonight she even rolled from her stomach back to lying on her back. She seems more content on her stomach these days and has her legs moving as if she wants to crawl. I think that'll be the next step....ack!!! She's quite stable sitting up on the couch now and loves her exersaucer and merry muscles (aka jolly jumper). She giggles and laughs a ton and enjoys peek-a-boo more than ever. Since she has 2 teeth now (which arrived 2 weeks ago) she continues to teethe and chomp on anything she can get a hold of. Starting her on solid foods soon will be the next step. I'm not sure if I'm ready for her to eat solids yet, but it's exciting! Which food will we start her on? Any ideas? I'm thinking a vegetable like yams or beets or peas...we'll see.

Here are some more photos of Linnea...lots in action, lots of her mouth as it's so fascinating to me and of course her eyes. Linnea turns 6 months old on October 28th. I can hardly believe she is halfway to being a year old already. Time is just flying by and I she's such a joy in our lives.

You'll notice a shot where Linnea's hand is blurred in the foreground and her eye/face is in the background. I was getting really close to her and she went and grabbed my lens and actually touched and smudged it. I thought the shot was pretty cool and fun so I included it. There are also shots of her moving and playing on the ground and sucking on her dolphin squeaky toy.

Linnea - today

I photographed a family session today that was way too much fun. The parents have twin almost 3 year old girls. They are so adorable and we had a ton of fun at the park and playing in the leaves...you'll have to check out my photography blog in a couple weeks to check out the photos from that session.

Anyways - when I got home I just had to take some more shots of Linnea. She was giving me tons of expressions today. :)

Linnea 5 1/2 months old

Today I photographed my friends Erin and Scott's son Oscar who is 5 weeks old. After their session Linnea wasn't falling asleep in her swing so I took her out and took a few shots of her on the couch. She's got her first TWO TEETH in already which came in with in the last 2 weeks. They're very sharp!! She is growing a lot these days I think...eating and sleeping and lots of smiles still. I haven't cut her hair yet despite that her "bangs" are past her eyes now as you'll see in these photos. I clip it back a lot which works well and is pretty cute. She loves to "dance" and move around while standing. She sits on the couch pretty nicely these days and then falls over which is funny to watch. Sometimes she cries when she falls over and other times (like today) she just starts sucking/licking the couch....nice.

On another note, I'm working non-stop these days and shooting a lot. Yesterday I photographed for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra's 2009 brochure...we did 3 sessions in one and have about 10 more to do in the next few weeks. I have a family to photograph tomorrow with twin girls which will be fun. I am looking forward to a break from shooting but still have a ton of computer post production work ahead of me left. I designed 4 or 5 albums this week and have many more to go but I'm on a roll! It just means getting a lot less sleep...and not leaving the house or getting laundry done!

Hope you like the shots from today.

Rachel

5 months old

Well, Linnea is sure growing up fast. She's rolled over again finally (in front of my mom and I) and she's making new sounds and loves to stand a lot. She's currently sick with a cold (that she got from her mom) and we've had a miserably exhausting day today. Besides that Linnea has been so wonderful and good natured and happy almost all the time. She continues to sleep all night every day and is getting more and more fun to play with. She loves walks in her stroller and will still sleep in her swing. Here are some shots I took of her this past weekend. Work is crazy for me and I'm way behind. I have two more weddings this month these next two weekends and am shooting family and newborn sessions almost daily. I just finished another shoot for Alberta Milk and am looking forward to a break from shooting in November...Tomorrow I go to my 3rd pilates lesson. I am really enjoying pilates and am feeling stronger all the time. I'm back training at the gym as often as I can go - doing karate and it just feels great!

My latest work...

If you guys are interested in seeing some of my latest work that I've been shooting and producing over the last several weeks please check out my blog....

I've been uploading a lot of new sessions this week as I've had a very productive week at the computer. Below is a high resolution file of Linnea that was taken this past week. Feel free to download it and print it if you like. :)

September Faces of Linnea

Well Linnea will be 5 months old this coming Sunday! I can hardly believe how fast this summer has gone and now today is the first day of autumn. Well, I have been working so terribly hard on my clients sessions and weddings so I haven't been as diligent at posting these past several weeks and I know a lot of you have been waiting to see what Linnea looks like now. Over the past few weeks we've taken snapshots of her with our little point and shoot as well as my slr so you'll notice a quality difference in some of the shots (not a big deal IMO). Anyways, she now enjoys playing in her exersaucer as you'll see in some photos that were taken today. There are some shots of her first time in her Merry Muscles (similar to the well known Jolly Jumper). She is teething and drooling a lot these days but is still a pretty happy baby for the most part sleeping through the night all the time. I am trying to get her to bed earlier so she doesn't sleep til noon! LOL She is full of different expressions, squeals and giggles and lots of "talking" as she tries new sounds and vowels and discovers how her voice works and how loud she can get. Her cries are louder now that she is growing...She weighed in at 15 lbs 1 oz on Sept 8th. Since the last post we've been to the west coast and back home again and she did really well in the car for the full 13 hour drive. She was a trooper! Anyways - I have to get back to cleaning and working and get more processing done today. My mom arrives on Wednesday and we're excited to have her come visit.

More Rolling!

Wow - today was an exciting day for Linnea! I left early this morning to take an all day photoshop seminar with Jim DiVitale from Atlanta. I missed Linnea's first feeding of the day and the rest of the day until I got home at 5:30pm. I had called Jeff at our mid morning break and he promptly told me that Linnea took the bottle without any problems. And best of all Jeff found Linnea on her STOMACH in the crib when he went into her room this morning to get her. She rolled over from her back to her stomach again in the middle of the day as well so soon we'll likely see Linnea rolling across the floor I'm sure. How fun!! I think we're going to have to baby proof sooner than later. :) Tomorrow Linnea is 16 weeks old....unbelievable! We've been enjoying spending some time with Grandpa Froese (Linnea's Grandpa) as he is here working at the ArmorThane office while someone is on vacation this week. I'll upload some more photos soon...

Rolling Over

Rolling over, Rolling over, My cup is full and running over....Well - Linnea did it! She rolled over from her tummy to her back last night for the very first time (without ANY help) and again this morning on the floor. Last night it was right before bed time, on her change table. Jeff and I were giving her some fun tummy time and she was chilling on her side when she pulled her other leg around and turned over onto her back. Yay! So exciting. This is the exact day she turned 15 weeks old (3.5 months). Nope we didn't catch it on video or camera (and I didn't get it on camera today either). Soon though!! Back to work I go.

It's now the end of the day and I want to add that she rolled over twice today. Exciting stuff but then she had a pretty rough evening crying all night....there was no sleeping to be had for our little one from 4:00 pm until 12:15am when I put her down for night. She was definitely tired!!!

Happy Nappy Diaper Service

Here's my submission for a photo contest that Happy Nappy Diaper Service is having this week for 2 free weeks of diaper service. Linnea kept on kicking the diapers out from under her while I was trying to photograph her so it was quite the challenge. She had a pretty rough evening tonight...lots of tears and wanting to be held. Likely gas or teething or both and definitely over-tired as she skipped 2 nap times in a row! She finally went down a little while ago. Phew!

Trip to the Crowsnest Pass

We just returned home from a quick trip to the Crowsnest Pass. Jeff had a gig in Coleman playing jazz on Saturday night. We left Friday afternoon and came home yesterday afternoon in time for our friends bar call. While in the Crowsnest Pass we visited with the Sangster family and their friends who live in Bellevue. Jeff and I enjoyed traveling to Fernie, BC for the day on Monday and we had such a fabulous time with great weather. We left around 11am and walked around downtown visiting the Blue Toque diner (art gallery) and enjoyed a fabulous meal and then went to different cafes for espresso and stopped in some great shops to browse. We then walked around the neighborhoods and stopped at the City Hall to take "flying Linnea shots." :) Today she is happily playing at home again and has begun teething (hence sucking on everything including her hands, blankets, rattles, her favorite frog). She drools constantly and gives us lots of smiles. She's awake from her nap now so I have to run, but enjoy these shots from our trip.

Linnea - 3 months old

On Monday our dear Linnea will be 3 months old right on our 7th Anniversary. Jeff is leaving early in the morning to go fishing with cousin Perry in the Kananaskis and I'll be shooting a wedding all day. Grandma Johnson will be taking care of Linnea tomorrow while we're both gone. I get to enjoy Linnea all to myself on Sunday and Monday. Here are some photos I took of Auntie Janna and Auntie Sasha with Linnea and a bunch of Linnea. The red and striped dress is from Copenhagen and was from Sandra. I think it looks great with the red couch. :) Linnea squealed today for the first time but unfortunately hasn't slept too much today and has done a lot of crying. I think she's going through a lovely little growth spurt. We gave her a bath this evening and I think it wore her out a bit more and helped her fall asleep from all the tears. Off I go to continue getting my gear organized for the big day tomorrow. It'll be a scorcher! Love to all!!

Almost 13 weeks old - Linnea

Linnea had a great week with Janna and Sasha visiting from Victoria. I'll post photos of them soon, but in the mean time here are some photos of her taken early this week. Enjoy my dear friends and family. In these shots she's wearing a very cute outfit from our friends the Sicottes and Jeff's double bass made it in the photos too. :) There is special significance with the little star beside Linnea. If you wind up the star it gently plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but the best part of this little gem is that it was Jeff's when he was a little baby and then passed on to cousins, Janna and Sasha when they were little babes. Now it was passed on to Linnea!

Linnea - 12 weeks old

Tomorrow Linnea is 12 weeks old already. She's been weird since coming home from Leamington (crying a lot). Today is much better though and I had to take some photos of Linnea this morning with the hairdo Dad gave her last night after her bath. :) The other awesome thing was she finally slept through the night again. She slept through the night the entire time we were in Ontario (8 hrs two nights in a row and then 10 hrs the night before we left). Then we got home and she was getting up once or twice a night to feed. I put her down at about 1am last night and she slept until about 9:30am if I recall. Yay!! Good job Linnea! We put her in a sleeper and swaddled her instead of swaddling her with only a diaper on. I think when she kicks off the blankets she gets cold so this way, she can kick off her blankets and stay nice and cozy warm.
In the photos here Linnea is wearing 2 diapers and a diaper cover so she is looking very wide. LOL.
Oh yeah - I almost forgot to mention that Linnea giggled for the first time in the Pelee Days Inn in Leamington last Sunday evening. My cousin Holly and I were changing her in the ladies washroom and she giggled. Holly heard her the first time as I wasn't really paying attention due to the fact that I had a dirty diaper I was dealing with and then we waited and she giggled a second time. It was soooooo cute!!! Then after Holly and I reacted so strongly, getting ultra excited, we startled her and she started to cry!! That was also funny....Now she makes these awesome squeaks, giggles and coos all the time. We just love it!

Trip to Leamington, Ontario

We just got home from Leamington, Ontario visiting our eastern relatives. In the photos you'll see pictures of Linnea on the plane, in the Calgary airport on the floor waiting for the last leg home back to Edmonton, our trip to the tip of Point Pelee National Park on Lake Erie, Linnea on my Uncle Rick's Harley, Jeff driving the Harley, a tree in my Aunt Deb's yard, Linnea's belly button, photos of my cousins, aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my dad and his wife Jeannie and photos of the marshland at Point Pelee. There are 93 photos so hopefully you have a few minutes to watch the slideshow. Enjoy!!

Linnea (2 months old)

Here are some photos in the lovely outfit that Uncle Dan and Aunt Heather got for Linnea in Istanbul, Turkey. She is so gorgeous in the rich and dark colour of pink! I also included a great photo of cousin Perry and his girlfriend Sandra (who was visiting Canada from Copenhagen, Denmark). There are also a couple cute shots of Uncle Ben (my brother) and his niece Linnea while Ben and Melissa were visiting us.

Favourite Family Photos

I finally picked up my DVD today from my friend Shaun of Scade Photography. Shaun, Kelly and Gord did a fantastic job photographing Jeff, Linnea and I on June 19th. Here are about 20 of my favourites from the session. Hope you like them!!

The last while...

We've had a really eventful last couple of weeks and I've been super busy. First, my brother Ben and sister-in-law Melissa came to visit us and Linnea for a few days. We had a great time with them. We even got to celebrate their first year anniversary with a photoshoot and Jeff's fabulous pizza for dinner. I've been shooting a lot of engagement sessions and of course weddings are what Aaron and I are mainly working on right now. I am really behind with album orders but I hope to get caught up for the most part in August. Jeff's cousin Perry had his girlfriend visit from Copenhagen so we had the chance to meet her and I got to go shopping with her on Whyte Ave too and we had a lot of fun! We both bought the same pair of shoes (different colours though). The last 4 days the three of us were in Leamington, Ontario visiting my grandparents and extended family. My dad and his wife Jeannie flew in for one night as well so that was a treat too! Linnea got to meet her great grandparents for the first time and my cousins and aunts and uncles...I got to catch up with the family and both Jeff and I were well fed by my Aunt Debbie. She is such a great hostess and cook! A highlight too was riding behind Uncle Rick on his gorgeous Harley Davidson. Jeff took it out a couple times on his own as well. We took some photos of Linnea on the bike too. :) Linnea was great on all 4 legs of our flights from YEG to London and back. She barely made a sound besides filling her diapers and slept or played most of the way. She's already a great traveller!! It's great to be back home and I'm super excited about Saturday's wedding and a couple other shoots I'm doing tomorrow. Back to work right away! I will post photos from the last while as soon as I can. First I have to get them off my cards onto the computer!

Elk Island Family Getaway

Jeff, Linnea and I took off yesterday evening for Elk Island Park...we were intending for this to be a day trip but in the end we didn't get out of the city until after 5pm including having to come home twice after forgetting important items (i.e. the diaper bag!)

When we arrived we found an area where we were all alone and were right on the lake. Jeff started a fire after having to feed it oxygen by waving a newspaper at it for a long time. Once burning nicely we had supper and I took photos around the area including the friendly but persistent squirrel who wanted our food. The sun then began to set and in rolled in a storm. We had my SLR camera as well as our P and S camera so we we have a variety of shots to share with you. The rainbow after the storm was gorgeous and then the sky turned a glorious pink with some cool textures in the clouds. The steam from the ground that rose more and more as it got later was a highlight. We saw a lot of bison off the side of the road on our way out at 10:30pm.

On our drive home a deer ran across the highway right in front of us. It was pretty spectacular to see this graceful creature jump the fence.

2 months and One Week Old!

Ok - Linnea is growing up so very fast! I am pleased to announce that Linnea slept for just over 8 hours last night in a row! I was not awakened by a happy baby wanting food this morning but by a barking dog next door. Jeff had to end up closing up all the windows in the house because she wouldn't stop barking...I was really annoyed. Linnea is currently happily playing on the floor flailing her arms and kicking her legs. It's fun to watch her. The last while has been so busy for us that I haven't even thought of blogging until now. I'll try to get the latest Linnea photos uploaded and online for you all to see as well. I photographed a half day wedding on Friday and a full day wedding yesterday. Both days were very warm but yesterday was the most adventurous with a dark cloud approaching and all of a sudden the skies opened up and poured on all of us. We all ran for whatever shelter we could find in the trees and the shelter at the Devonian Gardens. The rain didn't last and we had the hot sun again. We went to O'Byrne's on Whyte both days with our bridal couples and party and had a blast. Pints and food all around and yesterday afternoon the bartender bought all of us shots of Amaretto to celebrate. They even replaced a half pint of beer that I spilled on all our camera gear yesterday. What a mess that was...My cameras now smell like Honey Brown. Hehe. Yesterday Jeff and Grandma J took Linnea to the downtown Farmer's Market. I have clients arriving in a few hours to pick up their wedding photos on disc so I better get a move on and get that finished and get everything cleaned up. Oh yeah - Linnea is about 12 lbs now and is "talking" a lot more the last couple days when she's happy.

Banff Adventures

Currently, my mother-in-law (Ruth J), Linnea and I are in Banff. We left Edmonton at 10:45am and didn't roll in to our accommodation until 4pm. It was a long day driving for me and the traffic was very heavy with tons of motor homes. We stopped in Red Deer so I could nurse Linnea and we ate donuts from the Donut Mill. We then drove straight through to Banff. By the time we arrived Linnea was starving and crying until I nursed her again. This evening she was just wonderful while I photographed my client and friends wedding BBQ. Ruth came along and took her for a long walk while I visited with the guests and took candids. It was a lovely, warm evening in the mountains. Simply gorgeous. Tomorrow it's supposed to be a hot and sunny day (high of 29 C). I will post some photos soon from this weekend...I recently booked a few more weddings and today confirmed a gig shooting for Alberta Milk's new brochure on pregnancy. So I get to shoot a pregnant lady in a couple weeks. :) I also am getting to shoot stock for the City of St Albert again which was a blast last year. I get to work with my friend Leanne McBean again so I am looking forward to that. She recently had another baby as well so I'm sure our conversations will be filled with baby talk. Our mom's group from Shared Care has decided to meet once a week (every Monday) so this works well for me. I'm quite excited and I've invited my friend Carmen to join our group too. This will be nice for her as well because she can hang out with all of us mom's who've had babies in the same month as her. My friend Carmen had her daughter Alina 4 days before I had Linnea. I'm excited for them to get to know each other well. I'm killing some time here typing before I wake Linnea at midnight and give the little gal her final feeding. Well, I better sign off now and shut my eyes for a bit. I'm soooo tired today!

Linnea 8 Weeks Old

Linnea is changing by the day it seems...new things crop up all the time. A new expression, a new sound, a new movement...It's all so exciting to see and I just love every moment. Last night she slept for over 7 hours which is the longest she's slept at night since she was born. Jeff and I stayed up to watch another episode of Grey's Anatomy on DVD after we put her down so we didn't get to bed until late. This morning Jeff left Linnea and I for a Jazz City Festival Tour with Jerrold Dubyk until Sunday. We'll miss him terribly. He's playing in Calgary, Victoria, Vancouver and Montreal. I'm jealous as he's going to see my grandparents and mom on Thursday afternoon on Granville Island.

Something exciting for us that happened yesterday is that I've asked Aaron Au, one of our studio photographers, to work for me and he said yes! I'm thrilled that he's willing to help us out and to be a part of the studio. I'm also thrilled that that I've booked another 3 weddings for next year in the last couple weeks so I've already got 5 booked and 2 more that I wasn't counting on for this year which makes a total of 14 weddings for this year. Well, Linnea is sleeping so I should probably be too. I am going to sign off now and upload a whole bunch of photos I took of Linnea yesterday trying to show how much she is changing including yawns, different expressions and smiles. I also included a self portrait of our family that is fun! Cheers!!

Linnea - 7 weeks old

Linnea has had some interesting days the last couple weeks. For example: Yesterday she was awake pretty much the ENTIRE day with lots of smiles and happy awake time. Then she became very unhappy all evening until I put her down to bed at 2am wide awake. She eventually fell asleep and woke up at 6:45am. Today has been better with a good mix of some good napping times and some happy awake time. I didn't get much work done today. I was going to shoot an E-session tonight but in came a huge thunderstorm and thus we postponed the session. Lia brought Jeff and I lunch today which was fabulous and we had a quick visit. Perry is over tonight with us for supper and I'm trying to clean and organize my office. The process is taking a very long time so hopefully I complete this tomorrow so I feel better about getting other work done. Today Kuypers Construction arrived at 7:10am and stayed until 5pm working on putting in weeping tile. There were 5 guys working and doing everything by hand. They are already half done and are working very fast!! I want to include some photos of Linnea that I took today. Her face is getting rounder I think. She is smiling a lot more which is fun and she rolled from her front to her back today (although the way the blankets were sitting gave her a pretty good angle).

Special Cuddles

Below is a photo of my dad and Linnea. He came to visit us three in May. We had a lovely time and ate some great food and drank some yummy coffee too. Thanks for helping us out too Dad! I don't think our lawn has been mowed since you left!! (just kidding). The next photo is of my mom and Linnea taken at the hospital the day she was born. Mom stayed with us for almost 2 weeks and her help was indispensable. Thanks Mom for everything!! It was awesome to have you here especially that first week with the really long nights...I'm so happy she has her days and nights figured out now. :) The third photo is of Jeff's mom and Linnea taken the day she was born at the hospital. You're a fantastic mom-in-law and thanks for helping us out a lot with kitchen clean up and looking after Linnea when we are busy.

SMILES SMILES SMILES

What a fun evening we had! Great Auntie Joyce, Grandma and Uncle Perry were over to enjoy some of Jeff's yummy pizza and see Linnea. Linnea spent a lot of the time sleeping but the last hour was spent wide awake playing in her bassinet smiling for us and giving us some marvelous expressions!! Enjoy the photos!!
