GRANDCHILDREN ARE A BLESSING

I have been blessed in many ways, and I daily thank the Lord for all that he has given me, but I have been especially blessed with wonderful grandchildren. Two adorable little girls, and two rotten little boys, are everything I could have ever asked for. HOWEVER, have you ever heard the saying about “wrangling cats?” That would have been an easy task in comparison to getting a good photo of 4 children (all under the age of 8) together.We met Courtney, from Courtney Baldwin Photography, at Southern Gap to start the session. I can just imagine her terror at having so many small children to try to photograph. We started off with a group session to try to get at least one good shot of all of them, and then started taking individual shots. They did amazingly well. Emersyn was probably the most uncooperative of them, but I still think she was able to get a few good shots. I will share the results later when we have the pictures.For now, I am going to show you just a few shots that I took with my phone, while Courtney was working.You may can see why I called a photographer, instead of me taking the pictures. Haha! They don’t tend to listen to me when I am giving directions. I sure hope Courtney had better luck! Lol!The top I have on is several years old. I think it is all the colors that I like so much. I am not a fan of the ruffles, but it does add an element of interest to the top. The top is by Nicole Miller, and it came from JC Penny.I have on a matching necklace and earrings set from Chloe & Isabel. The Mirabelle Petite Collar necklace and the Mirabelle Drop earrings are perfect for this neckline. I could have also worn a longer necklace, but since I was staying home, I just kept it simple. Sometimes when I wear a long necklace at the house, it gets caught on door knobs or cabinet drawers. I just broke a brand new necklace from Plunder before I even got to take the picture. It wasn’t the necklace’s fault, I stood up really fast and it caught on the knob. I’ve already ordered another one, and I picked up all the beads and pieces. I am going to see if my friend can make me a matching bracelet, there is always a way to make lemonade. This has become one of my favorite Plunder bracelets. I like all the different colors in the arrows, and the little dangle says, She Knew She Could Be Brave! I like that sentiment, and try to remember it. I have on two bangles, one is the Frances and one is the Halsey. These bracelets are only 14.00 each. I like being able to stack them, the effect is really cute. I am going to order the Odette and the Fiona next.These shorts are new, and I bought them at Loft. We recently had a new store open up at the nearest shopping center to me. Don’t even ask how far it is from me, it is depressing ? I love the color of the shorts, I call it dark Orchid. I have no idea the real color.Matti, Emersyn, Jett, Huttson, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
