They make us unique and those specific limitations, so to speak, are the same things that make our art interesting and fresh.

The OH SO TALENTED David Scott took these of Oliver at exactly two weeks old and I just haven’t had the time to get them up on the blog, so enjoy! And if you’re wondering what he looks like now, just imagine him a little bigger, a little fatter, a little less sleepy and loved Continue Reading

A week ago yesterday on St. Patrick’s day, Oliver David Scott made us a family of four and we couldn’t be happier about it.

That was Coleman’s favorite part Continue Reading

He learns to somersault, make a bridge with his body, roll, jump, walk on the balance beam, and gets to play with all the other toddlers. His favorite part of it all is playing under the parachute – can you tell Continue Reading
