Okay, now this girls needs a comp card!  Can't you just see her in a Jcrew Kids or a Gap ad campaign? Sweet little Emma. 

And though this little guy isn't exactly thrilled to be in front of any camera, when I could manage to sneak a shot without notice, he absolutely shined!

I love these two shots of Emma's crazier side

A tough nut to crack, but a nut none the less :)

In past years this is how we would have to piece together holiday cards.  Individual images placed side by side.  Jack does NOT like sweet Emma hugs (boy wont he be sorry in years to come). 

But this time, something magical happened...

Surprise Meredith!  We finally got 'em!!  Jcrew kids I tell you.  I love these shots!

Perhaps I just can't look at them objectively.  It's true, I feel a particular bond for these two cutie pies.  I have known them for most of their little lives.  I used to teach Emma, and observed Jack from across the hall at a time when I was working at one of the best little pre schools on the planet!  And though I no longer teach, I so love seeing those precious little people, whose lives I once touched, no matter how briefly, as they touched my life for a time too.  

Thanks so much for a beautiful afternoon with your amazing children Meredith!  As always, I had a wonderful time.  S~
