prediction...

so since the little miss arrived we've been speculating eye color and such. Her eyes have changed so much and they've been a bit of everything. After going through these pictures I'm finally ready to make my absolute prediction on her future. I'm predicting green eyes and red hair. She may end up looking a bit like her aunt C!

fairytales....

me: ok what is it about?

Christmas....in July

So the whole “Christmas in July” saying – I know where that came from. It came from a mother not unlike myself. She ran into a great deal at disney.com in May and bought a bunch of stuff. When it arrived in June she promptly put it in the closet telling her husband for weeks she really needed to move the stuff she bought to a better hiding place. Well all June all she did was talk…then one day in July she was unsuspectingly changing the diaper of her little one when she heard ecstatic squeals of joy coming form the other room. Squeals much like you might hear on Christmas morning. She knew there could only be one reason for such excitement in the middle of July. Her little boy had just hit the jackpot. Quick thinking as she was she tried to explain that Santa sometimes drops toys off early so it makes his sleigh lighter and he can fly quicker and we should probably put them back so he doesn’t wonder where they are. He stared at her with a look on his face and she knew he wasn’t buying it. So she did what only a mother could do – she had Christmas in July.....

a little late....

It’s funny how memories and events stay so close in your mind that they feel like they happened only yesterday. I kept thinking all day yesterday that it seemed like only a short time ago that the little man was born and we were sitting in the hospital room anxiously awaiting his arrival. Now he has become this handsome little boy and I am not sure where the time has gone. It amazes me the things he knows and how fast he is learning. After his party last weekend I grabbed a piece of cake and the two of us went out front and with two spoons in hand had a little birthday conversation. It was such a special moment and I am so grateful to be his mom. Anyway - I wanted to finish this layout last night but I was just too tired. So here ya go buddy a little late but not with less love…. Happy Birthday!!!

And with a birthday I wanted to get a shoot in this afternoon (last year we took bday photos 2 months late). The light was so great I had to take a few of the little miss. Here are my two favorites. I’ll leave you with those and say goodnight!

happy

Could there be a happier boy? We gave him the “big scoop” that we bought 4 months ago for his birthday. He was pretty excited and he has been riding it all morning. Too much fun. We took him to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday lunch so he has had a big day. And of course we let him think the fireworks were just for him and his big day. A few pictures to share so I’ll just get right to it…have a great night!!!!
