Tiger (Tiggy) turned one on Friday.

(Still a kitten back in September 2012.)

(I think he’s probably frowning because there’s a pink bow around his neck…we should have gone with green.) At age one Tiggy is a very picky eater. We have also discovered since adopting him that he is deaf. He loves bath towels and furry stuffed animals. Sometimes he gets confused and thinks that Christmas (our other, very fluffy cat) is also a stuffed animal, and this causes contention. The best part about Tiggy is that he loves to be around the kids.

Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope you’re spending time with your family today!

Be together…

…be silly…

…be sweet!

Enjoy your day!

Celebrating 21 years of marriage in June – that’s pretty awesome!

(Not only great tree climbers but wonderful babysitters as well!)

This family is moving away from Asheville soon (they will definitely be missed!), so we took the opportunity to capture some family moments before their departure among the beautiful blooms at the NC Arboretum.

Last Saturday I was able to celebrate Asher’s 1st birthday with his family and friends. Marissa had a great Eric-Carle-themed party planned! What I loved the most (besides Asher’s fab shirt) was the fact that Marissa had left out several children’s books around her home, which were subsequently picked up by parents and read to kids throughout the party. That was AWESOME!)

I call this “caked out.” Makes me giggle!

What a difference a year makes! I love photos like these that document growth – great idea, Zach!

I am very blessed to be able to document these sweet girls each year! It’s so amazing to watch them grow in life and spirit!

Gosh, I miss those baby faces. But I’m happy to say they’re still good friends – not all the time, but most of the time.
