Petra and Miss Carolina"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It is amazing how fleeting childhood is, one moment a child is a baby, the next a toddler and all of the sudden they are all grown up. \u00a0It seems like only yesterday an almost-two-year-old Petra was <a href=\"https:\/\/coreyann.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/corey-talks-my-wedding-bridal-party\/\" target=\"_self\">my flower girl<\/a> and now she&#8217;s just a hair shy of five, FIVE! \u00a0Her sister was just a chubby ball of adorable babyness <a href=\"https:\/\/coreyann.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/miss-carolina-and-miss-petra\/\" target=\"_blank\">the last time I saw her <\/a>and now she&#8217;s a walking and talking toddler. \u00a0I am always amazed how fast these girls grow in New Orleans!<\/p>\n<p>This shoot was another time that we originally planned on going to Longue Vue but again, it was raining so we went back to City Park for some pictures in the areas that weren&#8217;t muddy. \u00a0I will forever remember this session as my introduction to red ants in the south. \u00a0Unknown to me, when it rains, their anthills get washed away and the ants are harder to spot. \u00a0I know that ants sting down there, but I&#8217;ve only ever had one bite and never thought much of it. \u00a0After a few shots in the grass of Carolina, I started walking towards the sidewalk and realized that my legs were burning\/itching. \u00a0I looked down and I was literally COVERED from my knees down in red ants &#8211; I had walked into a pile of them!! \u00a0Luckily Lisa and Kimberly were old hats at getting rid of them quickly (after I had a minor spaz out and kicked my shoes off in my crazy I&#8217;m-being-bit-by-ants dance) and I only ended up with a couple dozen bites. \u00a0I consider that lucky as there were a LOT more on me! \u00a0I had some Benadryl spray on me and that stuff is MAGIC because I never itched or was in pain from the remaining bites and stings after that! \u00a0I guess normally they are really painful and itchy. \u00a0I highly recommend that stuff to all Southerners to keep on hand for ants!!<\/p>\n<p>Petra and Carolina are the funnest kids. \u00a0They have great imaginations and know how to have fun. \u00a0Lisa dressed them up in rain gear in case of a downpour and they had a blast splashing in the puddles around City Park. \u00a0Petra is still in love with fairies and made sure to catch some while we were near the river. \u00a0I hope that&#8217;s something she never looses, for the world is a better place with a few fairies in it! \u00a0Carolina is still a love and just wants to be like her big sister.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/pcp-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"
