The PARKER Family...

This is Debra, Ernest, and their precious kiddos...Debra & Ernest are high school sweethearts and graduated w/ Mike :). Debra has such a creative soul...I visit her blog (click on "her blog" to go there) almost daily! We met up today at the Empire Cafe (click on "Empire Cafe" to go there) on Westheimer, and roamed the streets taking photos of each others families...we needed pictures for Christmas cards. Here are some of my faves of their family...

Debra & Ernest are in the process of adopting Ronnell from Haiti...Ronnell is not with them physically just yet, but he IS here in so many other ways!

We had so much fun today with this family...it was great to do a little catching up!

the*JACKSON*family...

nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh...you know, "the adam's family" tune?? Anyway, this really is the JACKSON family. The Jackson's have a picture that was taken before they got married at the cross streets of Jackson and Larkin...her maiden name was "Larkin", and of course his is "Jackson." Cute idea, huh? So, in keeping with the street sign theme, we headed downtown to JACKSON street. 2 kids later...here is the JACKSON family:

One of the Jackson twins, A*...

This was my first time to head downtown for a photo shoot and I was SUPER excited!! Thanks to the JACKSON'S for having me photograph your sweet family! It was fun.
