A Visit from Great Aunt Elaine and Uncle Tom

All smiles for Aunt Elaine
Sleepy again in Uncle Tom's arms

Today Sophia had the pleasure of meeting her Great Aunt Elaine and Uncle Tom. They came from Killeen for a visit. Elaine is Pop's sister, (Annie Kate's dad). Sophia really seemed to respond to them with lots of smiles. It was a really special time for her to meet her next closest relatives! We hope for many more visits with them in the future.

Sophia says, "Cheerio!" and "Life is what happens between hiccups."

Here's a peek at our favorite Sophia face: the cheerio! She holds it for minutes at a time! This one is with the hiccups!

Our First Family Portrait

Last week we had our first family photo session with local photographer, Jennifer Thebault. She did an amazing job! You can see more images at http://www.acapturedlife.com/ . Click on "Client Proofs" then "Baby Sophia."

Meeting Annye Kate Wheeler

Hello Everyone~! Today is a special day because I get to meet my mommy's namesake, Annye Kate Wheeler, who I will know as "Auntie Kate". She is coming from Salado to meet me for the very first time! So mommy is giving me a special bath. I even got to use this fancy towel that "Auntie Kate" gave me! I feel beautiful wrapped up in it!
This is Annye Kate Wheeler. She brought me another beautiful gift! It's a white dedication dress made about 200 years ago! When I can fit into it, mommy is going to have my portrait made.

I like Auntie Kate and I think she likes me, too!

Auntie Kate is good friends with my Grammy, too (Grammy is next to Auntie Kate in the picture below). Any friend of Grammy's is a friend of mine!
