Sweet Sweet Baby "A"

OH MY she's teeny tiny, I can't believe only 20 months ago Ella was almost that small.
A bit over 6lbs here she is 9 days young.
No wonder she's so cute, her mommy and daddy are the most photogentic and LOOK at mommy all skinny already!
I can't wait to watch her grow and capture her growing!

Jackson, Ella and Marley ;)

Yes, we got a new family member, Marley, she's a cockapoo, full of energy and currently in Puppy Kindergarden. I highly recommend anyone with a puppy to hire a personal trainer. If you live in this area, Keith Walker is the BEST!
