Sweet Little Feet

What is sweeter than those ten little toes on precious tiny baby feet?!

This is one pose that you will always cherish of your sweet little newborn.  If you're not having professional pictures taken or you didn't get think of this pose at the time, don't worry because this is one you can take with the help of a friend or spouse and any simple camera. 

 1. Sit down in a chair, holding your baby on your lap.
 2.Cup those little feet in your hands making a heart shape.
 3.Have your spouse or friend put a blanket behind your hands and the baby's feet & adjust it accordingly.
 4.Take several shots trying with and w/o flash.
 5.Now you are ready to edit your pictures.
If you don't have any editing programs, you can always try paintbrush.
Be sure to save a copy of the original and change the name each time so you can come out with different styles.

 It becomes

       addicting but

          that's ok.. 





                               


..no one is



            the same


 









 and if 
 all else fails...                       








   

    Make sure             
        to get a
           close up
             of those..
          

                                     


*Sweet*


*Little*


*Feet*

..if your little one will be still!

Anniversary Time

Emily and Mike

August 8, 2009

 Two years ago today the Goralczyk Family was initiated!!  On August 8, 2009, Emily and Mike tied the knot!!  It seemed like the day would never come but it did sneak up on us and time certainly has flown!! 

 

Since Mike proposed on February 14, 2009, much planning went into immediate effect!  I always wanted to be married and have at least one child by 25, but I never thought it would actually happen! 

So that special Wedding Day quickly flew by, then it was time for our amazing 7 day honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean!  We got to visit Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize andHonduras!  It’s a good thing we spoiled ourselves to that special trip when we did with our lives moving at such a fast pace!

We hoped to have children right away my husband assured me that we would.  He just knew we went as 2 and came back as 3!!  To this day he will tell you so and well..9 months later here came Little Justin!!  I of course couldn’t be happier, but at the same time I was shocked!  So many couples have such trouble and I couldn’t believe my clumsy self was one of the lucky ones!  Nine months later, here came little man; Sweet Little Justin!  And I don’t care what people want to say; we had our wedding date planned for a while & actually moved it back a week due to a catering issue, we planned to have a child right away and we are just lucky that we did; we did not get married because I was pregnant!

I thought our wedding came and went in the blink of an eye but the next thing I knew, Justin was here and shortly after, our wedding anniversary!  It tickled me so that our anniversary fell on a Sunday!  What could be a better day to have your first-born son Christened on your Wedding Anniversary!!  It was the best anniversary I believe we will ever have!
Now, time got back on its broom and here we are, yet again, another year later!  Justin is BIG now and we are shopping for him in a 2T for the fall and now we have another little one on the way; Baby Kathryn!

We are truly blessed and very thankful to have such a lovely family!  Many have told us to slow down, but this is how life has dealt us and we wouldn’t change it for anything!  This year we decided not to plan a trip or anything extravagant with all that is going on.  To me, to be in the Church in which our family started on the weekend of our anniversary is the best thing we could possibly do especially when we’re not ready to be away from our little one! There will be many more anniversaries for trips and extravagant things, after all, it’s what’s in your heart that matters the most,not what money can buy!
