PWS Poster Family?...Uh, I think not.

Freshly sliced organic apple....check
Adorable, hungry little girl....check
One washable plastic bib.....check
One small caramel dip....check
New poster-family for PWS....uh, er, em....



Hey, the apples were organic and the small container offered a perfect fine motor skill challenge.


That is, until she realized those healthy organic apples were slowing her down.



I recently became an official Parent Mentor for our Georgia PWS Chapter. After this, they may think twice about that decision.
These fine, sugar-filled moments don't come around often, so when they do, we savor the moment!

Ponytails, pigtails and all things girly...

Funny how each child has their own personality despite environment or other influencing factors. I myself, was quite the tomboy growing up so how did I end up with a sassy, girly-girl???









She just needs 'JUICY' written across that cute little toosh! (pardon Ivan's chicken leg in the lower corner)




Yes, you are seeing correctly...those are freshly painted pink fingernails :)

Santa Baby

Christmas around the Garvin house was very exciting this year! Avery was amped and constantly telling us, "Santa bring my baby!" Unfortunately in all this excitement she was less than thrilled to have her picture taken. Here are a few of the decent ones I was able to snag....and yes, Santa did bring her a babydoll!









'Hmm, what do I want for Christmas?'

And my new favorite shot from the holidays! Avery lovin' on "Gan-daddy" (doesn't get much sweeter than this!)
