Tales of the Mortician's Wife

All in the {Family}

Monday, March 22, 2010

It’s Monday – so here in the Gauthier household we are busy making homemade Shepherd’s Pie for dinner (yummm), waiting for the homemade cinnamon dough to rise so we can make bread (mmmmmm!) all while Nanny Elaine is sewing up some beautiful baby blankets for the girls to play with (and they are in Heaven with this idea!). What a great day! Elaine leaves tomorrow to go back to England – what a shame! We are going to miss her TOO much!

How is your Monday going?

Here are some photos of a beautiful family that I have had the pleasure of photographing …

What’s better than tickles with dad …

.. kisses from your big brother …

and a smile to melt a momma’s heart …

and a hug from your little princess …

Nothing. 🙂 Family is all that counts!!!

“The family.
We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste,coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms,inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.”

I’m a bit behind on posting and a bit behind on my proofing … I have to admit it. This pregnancy is not allowing me to drink coffee so, surprise, surprise, I no longer have my super powers to stay up very late proofing into the wee hours of the night … and I also am blessed with a sick feeling early in the morning and late at night (both important times that I get a lot of my work done). However, it’s coming along and I am slowly but surely getting my work done. If you are waiting for a gallery, I will hopefully be sending out links shortly to all of you. Thank you for your patience!

Here’s one little cutie-patootie who came to the studio recently … what a dolly …

Tabitha – She’s such a cutie pie! Feel better so, and try to stay rested!! The morning sickness is always worse if you’re not well rested!

Mom – Sorry you feel sick and also that you can’t enjoy your beloved coffee! Hopefully it will pass soon 🙂
The backdrop looks great, loved the antique look.
Great job, Gillian!! xo

meliisa – Looks great! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures of little Miss Madelyn!!!!

Chelsey – Just beautiful! And don’t worry about being behind with morning sickness – it’s allowed. 🙂 Try lots of real ginger & sucking on hard candy. But most importantly, don’t push it! I always feel like the nausea gets worse when we try to push things. Thinking of you!

Sherri Smith – Cute, combining the carriage with the aged wood backdrop. Nice idea.

Mary Poppins…

Thursday, March 18, 2010

This week, in the Gauthier home, we have our very own Mary Poppins visiting.

Some of you may remember our “Nanny” Elaine from our adventure over a year ago – but since then she moved back to England (sadly!). We have missed her SO much but here is she, visiting us for one week! We are *LOVING* having her here!

Of course, guess what she made with the girls yesterday?

Cupcakes. 🙂 What else? We loooooove cupcakes!!!

Lyla loves the bonuses of helping out in the kitchen …

Soon to be Momma of 2 – Hi Gillian, I love browsing your blog often. You give me such inspiration. Especially as we will both be due in October! I love the icing holders your girls are using. Where did you find them?

Tabitha – Some of the most scrumptious cuppie cakes I’ve ever seen!

March 18, 2010 - 5:10 pm

Beate – I adore the serious look on the girl’s faces while getting the frosting just so. The cupcakes are just darling.

Vanda – So sweet…I love coming to your site for a visit. It’s refreshing. Oh, and I ordered the Simple Indulgence products the other day. Sad I never won the products, but I’m getting some anyway.
