Catching up! October 2009

Hello friends. It's been way too long since I've posted. So, I will try and catch everyone up to date. On June 11th, 2009 Ricardo and I welcomed our third baby into this world! Olivia Marie Viera 8lbs. 5oz 21inches. Such a precious bundle of joy! Both Grace and Luke welcomed her with loving arms. They enjoy holding thier baby sister and doing everything they can to be big helpers. We feel so very blessed with our children. We thank God for his abundant blessings! Here are a few pictures of Oliva at 4 months.

Grace Ann photographed by: Mommy

Grace Ann is now 3 years old. She has quite the imagination. When you add my imagination to the mix we have some pretty exciting adventures! She loves playing dress-up in her beautiful costumes by, "Grandma Poppins" (my Mom!) Of course, I love to photograph her as she plays in her imaginary worlds. I then like to edit the images and add a little bit of my own pixie dust! Here are several to enjoy!

Grace & Maya Lily enjoy a dance!

This picture was taken on my digital. Did I tell you that I LOVE my digital camera?! I took this picture one lovely night at the Magic Kingdom. Night photography is a challenge with my camera. It's nearly impossible to hold the camera still to get a clear picture. However, I am pleased with the results of this image.

Bookplates

Today I was inspired to design a bookplate to customize my personal library. I chose to include images of the American violet. (One of my favorite flowers). I marked my label with Ex Libris, meaning "from the library of." I hope that these labels will help ensure the safe return from book borrowers.
