When we celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this weekend I was so happy and excited to remember that my mother had the forethought to include her original cake-topper (see a pic here) for the cake she ordered for their party.
And I think it’s quite perfect for this photo to be in black and white since the original ones were as well…
That’s REAL lace on her dress!! )
And on a completely different topic…
The baby girl and I went outside for a little while today, checking out the grass and bugs. I turned the camera on us because well, she needs to know that her Momma wanted to be in pictures with her. Always.
I was kinda hoping the black and white effect would get rid of the dark circles under my eyes but alas, today’s technology can only do so much… 
Oh and please ignore the fact that I am ‘glistening’ in one of these. It’s Louisiana. In July.
It’s a little bit of a shame that you can’t see how very blue her “baby blues” are in these.
Maybe I’ll post some in color later. They are divine.
WOW …gorgeous cake topper!…great pics…been on hiatus for awhile…going back to catch up with you now!

Great shots! The cake in B/W is awesome. Don’t worry about the glistening-we are all doing that these days
That cake topper is incredible! Lovely shot.
And love the self shots…and I glisten ALL THE TIME. Just saying. And it’s not hot here. Yep,I’m a sweaty hooker
I love that cake topper!!! Such a neat memento to have.

that is awesome about the cake topper, and love the fact that you used it too!
And yes, be sure to take lots of pics with baby K, I wish I had more with my momma when I was little.
great shots! Beautiful! love them!
I love your daughter’s cheeks! Cute, cute, cute.
GASP – LOVE the cake topper! What an awesome idea. And it looks perfect in black and white.
Also, cute pics of you and your girl! I need to turn the camera around every once in a while too – I am rarely in any photos.. for obvious reasons!
You are beautiful, Elaine!

Great shots!
That is an awesome wedding cake topper…love it!
love the cake topper!
THe cake top was a wonderful addition to the cake. Great Capture!
Great photos. The wedding cake topper picture is this week’s winner as far as I’m concerned. So beautiful and such a great story!
And there’s certainly nothing wrong with the wonderful pictures of you and your baby girl either.
Nice job!
I love the series of self portraits!
I love the cake topper, and it is so cool that you used it on your wedding cake. I didn’t realize it at the time!!
I LOVE that cake topper! And it is appropriate to be in B&W. And I think it’s important that you got to be in some pictures too. We photo-taking moms don’t do that often enough!
I love the cake and the story about the topper!
I have such a thing for vintage cake toppers and that one is awesome! Love this story.
The cake topper blew me away. So pretty – and how great that your parents kept it?!? I love that picture.
And the series of photos made me smile.
LOVE the cake topper!
How incredibly special. With Joy, Carey
LOVE the self portraits. I’ve had a strange obsession with self-portraits lately.
I think you guys look great. Fun shots of you and your boy.
That cake topper is gorgeous and makes me wish we’d had one. Our cake was pretty simple and in retrospect I wish I’d done something more beautiful….oh well.
Congrats and God bless to your parents on their 50th anniversary!
That cake shot was made for black and white.
Oh my gosh, that’s awesome that she still has her cake topper. Beautiful!
How cool that the cake topper is still around. You got a great shot.
And, you aren’t glistening at all…you look mahvelous!
