I'm back today for a very special occasion.

Every once in a while, you meet people in life who just seem click with you.

Kindred spirits who know how to make you smile and who always seems to be there.

And you just have to thank the universe for them - thank the universe for bringing them into this world and eventually into your life.

Twenty-one years ago today, the universe brought this beautifully talented and amazing lady into the world.

and thank goodness for it!

NOW, if you havent already done so - get on over to her blog and leave her some beautiful birthday wishes!

My Handsome Little Date

While some of you were out getting BSC (that'd be "bat sh*t crazy") on Black Friday, I scheduled myself a long awaited date with my oh-so sweet and adorable godson, Christopher.

I hadn't seen him in lawd knows how long. A few years ago, the family moved from Louisiana to Texas - and ever since then we've had to resort to phone calls and care packages.

We made Friday our perfect little day together - and I let him make all the decisions.

SO MUCH FUN!

Oh yes...

It's Webkinz time! Meet Sharkie (or is it Perry... Or Toothie? He changed his name more times that P Diddy ... Or is it Sean Combs? or is it Puffy?) and Google

Of all the places to eat in Lafayette, McDonalds was first choice.
We both got Happy Meals.
I got a rad "My Little Pony"

Yep. The kid does adult-level word searches...in the car....for fun.
He's soo fast!

*cough*Bragging time!*cough*
Although he's only 9, he reads at the level of someone entering high school...
Of course Barnes & Noble was a must-stop.



Have you guys heard of these Diary of a Wimpy Kid books?
They're redonkulously funny in a weird way.

Seriously...

I'm the luckiest Nanny there is.

Best Part of the Day?

Christopher was totally down with my insane photo taking.

Huzzah!

So heres where you guys help a little.

I'm attempting to put together the most redonk Christmas Care Package together for this kid. He loves to draw, play sports and of course... read.

Any ideas of what to put in this care package??

Live. Laugh. Love.

Little Thing 21

Hanging out with Mizz Wormser again after waaaaay too long (since December!) and getting to see how incredibly happy she is being a New Yorker with her oh-so funny boyfriend!

(Photo circa 2008)

Holy Moly... The Hottness.

Post pre-birthday lunch with Lyla (figured that one out?), she and I were doing our usual "scan facebook on two computers that are 10 feet apart & call each other over to show our findings" thing when she called me over to see some engagement photos. Assuming the photos were an atrocious hot-mess (seeing as how we live for for the tacky, absurd, and awful), I ran over - oh the contrary! Lyla went to Aveda with the Bride-to-Be and vouches that this gorgeous girl with the gorgeous fiance in these gorgeous photos by this insanely talented photographer is super sweet and incredibly nice. Ahhh, of course.

As a photography geek, I'm professing my love for this one - the field, the light, the pose... everything. It's absolute perfection.

Click here to see the rest of the photos from the session and to read a little bit about the couple and the location (Ville Platte, y'all!).

And be sure to check out the rest of Courtney Dellafiora's blog. The things this woman can do with natural light - it's pure insanity. Oh, yeah - she's never taken a class or read a photography book in her life. Jealous much?!
