Baby Morgan

We welcomed our third little love bug into the world on October 14th!  It's hard to believe that she's already a month old.  It's safe to say that her big sisters love her to pieces and are beyond smitten!  They are constantly hugging, kissing, and cuddling with her.  It gets a little crazy sometimes, but it melts my heart to see my three little loves all together.  I've been slacking on the photos, but I'm trying to do better.  Here's a few of the wee one...

LOVE piggy toes!

sweet sweet little lips

Much thanks to my friend, Lyndsey, for this adorable blanket...and thanks to baby Morgan for hanging in there until my c-section date so we didn't have to have the blanket re-monogrammed  :)

Let the kisses begin...

Me and my "Momo" (Madison named her)  ha!

Where does the time go?

Whoa!  What a wild and crazy month this has been.  We went from vacationing in the mountains to hitting the ground running when we got home.  There's never a dull moment in the Horne house!  :)  For those that don't know, we moved this past week.  Our new house is only about a mile down the road and it is fabulous!  I am SO excited to have everything on one floor now and my husband has a man-room in the garage.  The girls love it too!  ...speaking of, I took lots of photos of them a couple of weeks ago and never got around to posting them, so here they are.  I'm currently having a love-LOVE relationship with black/white and sepia photos as you'll see. 

These two seriously snuggle all the time.  It's adorable and it makes my heart melt.  I love my sister to pieces, but I don't think we ever got along this well  :)

Fish face!

I've gotten a lot of questions recently about Madison's necklace.  It's an amber teething necklace from http://hyenacart.com/inspiredbyfinn/ and we love it!  I can't say for sure that it has helped her pain, but it has certainly helped her cranky pants  :)  She loves it!  ...which means mommy and daddy do too!

Here's Mallory striking a pose for once  :)  She'll proudly tell anyone that this is her new Beatles shirt and she love it sooooo much.  She makes her daddy proud!

What you can't hear when you look at this picture is Madison saying "awwww. awww. awwww"  :) 

Family Vacation

Hooray!!  For the first time ever, we were able to sneak away for a week long family vacation!  I tried my best to blog while we were gone, but alas, the internet connection wasn't having it.  Oh well, here's the post from earlier this week...

Our trip has been amazing!  We are staying on Beech Mountain in NC and it is adorable.  There is SO much to do this time of year and the girls are loving it.  ....Loving it so much that they've been taking almost 3 hours naps every day (this NEVER happens at our house!).  The girls got to go their very first parade which was surely the highlight of their trip.  That or one of the free concerts we've been to.  Our kiddos LOVE to dance!  We've been fish-feeding, duck-chasing, and "bear-hunting" too!  :)  That's what Mallory calls our hiking trips.  The weather here is perfect...I've even been wearing long pants!  Ahh.  I don't have them all on my computer yet, but I thought I'd share just a few. 

This little guy is our newest mountain neighbor.  Mallory loved him!!

I had such a fun time playing with my macro lens some more...

Fish feeding time...

This little lady LOVES her daddy!!!

The girls' first parade  :)

A family photo!!!  These are too few and far between!

Macro fun!!

Giddy doesn't begin to describe how ridiculously excited I was to get my new macro lens!  I know, I'm a dork, but I'm cool with that.  I had so much fun playing with it and I cannot wait to take more photos with it!  Here are a few of my first shots.

Love these shells...

 

 

If you've never had Silver Coast wine, you should.  It's quite delicious!

 

This little fly was SO teeny!  Thankfully his feet were stuck in a spider web so he stayed pretty still for me...until I bumped him with my lens hood and set him free.  Oops!

I have a good dozen or so more photos like these.  Sometimes I get a wee bit carried away in my post processing.  :)

 

The coolest spider I've ever seen...

 

I love the little seedling just barely hanging on. 

 

And, well, this wasn't a macro shot...just a cute pig tail shot  :)  I love this little girl!

The Lewis girls

I had heard lots of good things about Azalea Park, but I had never ventured out to Summerville to check it out....until last week.  Boy, was I in luck!  This place is adorable!  There's tons of soft green grass, big trees, a couple little bridges, park benches, and lots of other fun things, but the star of the show was surely the ponds with turtles and fish.  The girls had so much fun peeking in the water and it was a beautiful setting.  I had so much fun on this shoot and I took a ton of pictures!  Here are just a few lot of my favorites  :)
