I am glad to say that it is Thursday and the weekend is fast approaching! Tonight is Open House at my school so I will finally get to meet some of my students!
As most of y'all know, I've babysat for the Cuties for the last 5 years, however I have only watched them full time in the summer for 3 years. Our first year we had a photo shoot in my backyard our last week together and it has sort of become a tradition. It is fun to look at the pictures each year and see how they've grown.
2009
They were still babies back then!
2010
And now for this year's photo shoot! After looking at the pictures I'm realizing my Cuties are definitely not babies anymore--they're almost as tall as me!
Gorgeous photo...but really--can't they go back to being little?
I allow them silly pictures every few to lighten the mood!
The lighting was off in a few of these but I still think they're cute!
Cutie A and me--she's my little "mini me"
my little buddy
And now, these are my FAVORITE!!
Their mom has made this the background on her computer!
It hasn't even been a week and I am missing them SO much!
A little off center (Cutie B took it), but I still like it!
And finally..Cutie B INSISTED I take a picture of their feet, haha!
Which is your favorite?
Have a great day!
Great photos, thanks for sharing! I think my favorites are the ones with you guys behind the trees! And I love the pictures of their toes!
ReplyDeleteI think you look darling with your shoulder length hair in the first picture.
ReplyDeleteLove all the photos! You can tell that the Cuties really love you.
ReplyDeleteLove your 2009 hair and dress!

ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet...and that is a lot of time together, so I can see why you are missing them! Kids grow so dang fast, it seems like a blink of the eye and they're all grown up! The pictures turned out adorable, especially the one taken by Cutie B!

ReplyDeleteAw, that is such a cute idea to take photos every year! I have a photo with the little ones I sat for 8 years from when they were just babies. Makes me feel all old and sappy whenever I look at it :)
