Picture Day - Oct 19th

 My friend Jenna from Jameson Photos is an amazing photographer. We've made it a tradition to skip traditional school pictures and just take them with her.

 Some how she can capture them at their best, even when having a rough time. Abbey was screaming only 2 minutes before this picture.

I love that I get 3 poses and all of them are amazing... oh, how much better would have my grade school photos looked through a professional lense.

 Look at my handsome son! He is so photogenic.

yes. I will admit Jason and I make good looking babies. 

 I think James might be the only one more excited about our baby then I am. Sunday he spent time giving my stomach raspberries and talking to the new baby. I know she will love this boy. 

 This girl just gets prettier and smarter everyday.

 I know she will be my biggest asset when the new baby comes. Abbey already thinks she is the coolest thing ever - I know Elinor Kathryn will adore her big sissa as well.

Anyway, these are the adorable Buchanan's of the 2010-2011 school year. If you live in the valley or will be here visiting, I would definitely give Jenna a call. She is so worth it! (and better priced then the school's pictures)

I love Jenna! She is so talented, especially capturing little kids perfectly. It not an easy thing to do but her pictures make it look effortless. I forgot all about the pillowcase dress until I saw Abbey wearing hers, now I want to make a few dozen for Elsie this year. Abbey looks so cute in hers!

girls & princess

Abbey loves jumping out of the tub and streaking through the house every chance she can get. I found her in the bathroom brushing her teeth on such an occasion. Paige spent a Saturday with achievement day girls at the church. They did mini-classes and held a luncheon.  Paige came home wearing this cute banner that said "Miss Fabulous" - she had a goodie bag, a rose, and a pretty picture they had taken of her in a crown. What a gorgeous princess! A few days later we had a princess day. Actually once a week we have boys/girls day. Where the kids get a play date. These girls got all dolled up. They had a blast. Singing! Dancing! and having soooo much fun.

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

Image
The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we

a Christmas wish answered... come September

Image
So anyone who hasn't heard yet... yes. The Buchanan's are going to have a baby come this September. I'm not sure how it happened (yeah. I get the mechanics... I do have 2 kids) - But it's just that Jason & I don't really see too much of each other and after an exausting day of work, school, being on call, preschool, doing homework, research for thesis, paying bills, sewing group, YW, and kids, all you really have energy for is sleep. So I really think I give credit to Paige for this one. She has put in countless hours praying, wishing, and begging for a baby for the longest time. All her hard work millions of wishes on stars and countless letters to Santa apparently paid off. (She's got a lot of clout with the bearded fella - so if you want something for next year you might want to bribe her early to include it in her letter(s)). That's it... I'm eight weeks and thrilled. We'll keep praying that everything goes smoothly & the baby is heal
