WE'VE COME A LONG WAY!

So, it was my senior year of high school and the phone rings, and on the other end of the phone I hear, "Hey Elana, it's 'K'. I hear you're planning on going to the University of Alabama next year and I was wondering if you'd like to room together?"...And the rest, as they say, is history...So, 'K' and I, two girls from Savannah, who went to two different high schools and had only met a small handful of times, became Tutwiler roomies our freshman year, and now here we are more than a decade later, with four little girls between the two of us...My how times have changed!!!...As 'K' said during our session, "We've gone from pigging out on Ben & Jerry's Chunky-Monkey in our dorm room, to singing A-B-C's and playing peek-a-boo!"...I'll never forget sitting in my teeny little dorm bed one afternoon, and 'K' running in to tell me all about the boy in her math class that she had just met and was going to marry, and lo and behold, now here they both are all these years later and they just had their first precious baby girl only a few short weeks ago!...I'm so happy to have been able to be a part of it all...Granted, just a small little part of it, but a part nonetheless...So, without further ado, presenting a sneak peek of baby girl C and her beautiful family...May baby C grow up to love Krispy Kreme donuts as much as her momma and I did!!!...-EPJ

AND BABY MAKES FOUR!

I remember when my family went from three to four (then eventually five!), and getting to experience the wonder of my "baby" no longer being "the" baby and officially becoming a "big sister!"...I love being able to experience it through another family's eyes over and over again while behind the camera doing my job...I always say that I have the best job in the world, and it's so true and it never ceases to amaze me...And this sweet big sister was no exception...She was so loving to her new baby brother, so much in fact, that she didn't even complain (too much!) when her new baby tee-teed all over her!...Now THAT'S a good big sister!!!...I had a wonderful evening session getting to know the W family and I look forward to watching these two special little ones grow up and love each other more and more with each passing day...Hope mommy and daddy enjoy these quick little sneak peeks of their precious family, and, as always, I'll be back again soon with more...-EPJ
