Winning Treasury!

I am so excited to have won this week's 1000 Things Alpaca Treasury Challenge! 
What this means is that this week an item from my shop will be the inspiration item for the new week's challenge.  In other words, lots of great exposure for Alpaca Kids!  Who knows, maybe I'll even sell something!

Photo 37:4

Mylah

It was such a pleasure this week to have Laura Wilson from Photo 37:4 work with my grandbabies, taking some wonderful shots for us and others to use for my alpaca kids Etsy site.  Laura was everything you could want in a baby photographer- talented, easy to get along with, and most importantly, patient!  She was willing to wait and wait for the babies to settle down, or to close their eyes, to get the best shots.  She would work with one while the other was unhappy, so neither mom felt stressed that her fussy baby was holding things up.  I have only seen a few of the shots that Laura took, but I can’t wait to see the whole collection! Thanks, photo 37:4!

How well I remember the compassion that Emma Gupton showed me when I was a frightened, injured child many years ago.  I am blessed to have been one of her patients.

New Grandson

On Friday, May 6, it was our joy to welcome our grandson, Evan James, into our family. What a cutie!We couldn't be more excited.  Evan's cousin Mylah, who was born six weeks ago, can't wait to get to know him!  I am so thankful for these blessings!
