What a sweet, pretty baby Miss Charlotte is! Meeting her parent's Robin and Jason for the first time this morning- it is clear that she is as sweet as them. Charlotte (or Charlie for short) was born June 6th, 2008 and being a fellow Gemini- I told Robin and Jason to be on the lookout for a talker! :-) They said she is already babbling up a storm and makes all kinds of baby noises. Charlotte loves her books and also is learning Spanish from her maternal Grandmother who is fluent. She had 2 of the cutest tights too...hint, where my blog title is coming from. She had a pair that reminded me of Pippy.....they were striped with bold, bright colors and another pair that were cream with little ruffles on the back. She did not cry ONCE in the hour and a half we shot! Again, a remarkable baby! I hope you enjoy your pictures of your beautiful, sweet baby girl. I have many more to go thru, but I wanted to post some I have done. Enjoy!
Proud parent's!
I love this photo- I think you either love it or not! It looks so mysterious with the blurred roses on the bottom part- it looks like this is "their" spot in the Garden and I was a "passerbyer" that snapped a shot w/o them knowing.....This picture to me IS a story!

Water"Mark"Color and can you say "Backpack, Backpack"?

Wow- this picture was actually taken a couple of days ago and I already "blogged" about our outing. I was ordering some prints for my scrapbook, and I couldn't believe I looked over this picture. I think it looks like a watercolor painting. This is actually the "Butterfly Garden" part of the Park- and yes, there were butterflies all over. Mark was running and trying to catch and follow them. He is following one in this picture. I tried to get a picture of the butterfly, but I wasn't fast enough and I did not have my telephoto lens on. Sometimes I wish I was "Dora the Explorer" w/ my backpack- and I could instantly change cameras-ha :-)

Tater Tate and Tots Trey on a family date for pics..........

The first picture of the morning..... One of my favorite pictures....
Little explorers....
What a nice and beautiful family...I might be a little biased- being Kim is a friend of mine. We have known one another for almost 2 years and try to get together for girls nights out with other Mommy's- And we are overdue for one! Ok- back to my story.......Toby and Kim have Tate who is 3, and Trey who is 13 months. Miss Tate was so sweet, letting me carry her around because she didn't want her feet wet (yet she insisted on wearing her flip flops today-wink). Oh, and that reminds me of a story Kim told me of Tate- when she takes a bath/shower- she has to wear her goggles-hehehehe. Trey, who mastered walking a couple weeks ago made my heart melt. I am such a sucker for little boys- because I am a Mom to one, and that age is just soooooo precious! I could of eaten him up! The kiddos were great sports- and so was Toby :-) We knew when to call it quitting time when Trey fell asleep in Mom's arms while holding the stick he found near the River. Kim, it was so great seeing you and your family together and you all look beautiful!!! Here is a "sneak peek" into our day and I will have them complete in about a week. Stay tuned as I will post more on my blog......

One of my other fav. photos- Trey, 13 months
Quittin' Time.....I love how he held onto that stick Miss Tate, 3 years young and so cute!

One of the many family photos- there will be a variety of poses in your gallery

Such pretty girls

"Mark-O-Polo" and the Hidden Rose Garden...

"Marco...Polo"- do you all remember that game you probably played as a kid in the pool? When deciding on a blog titled, that was the first thing that came to mind because of the RL Polo vest Mark is wearing. Which BTW, I purchased brand new (with tags) at a thrift store for kids. I paid $4.00- wow!

Today we took Mark to the Whetstone Park of Roses in Columbus. I learned that it is the largest rose garden in the United States. With that being said, Ohio has soooo many wonderful spots that I want to keep quiet about. I do not want tons of people moving here and it becoming too crowded! :-) Being our weather has been warmer this year, the roses were still in full bloom and smelling lovely. I have a session there tomorrow so I do not want to post too many pictures from today. I would rather post from my session tomorrow. It is such a beautiful garden and a huge Park unique to Columbus and yet, still a peaceful tranquil place to read a book and curl up with nature...and for me to take a 1,000 pictures in my lifetime!
Why are boys eyelashes to die for???

And here is Mark entertaining the golfers on our hole before we left for the Park - these guys even gave Mark a golf ball.....
