Brayden just started summer soccer this week.  James and I went away a bit on the disappointed side.  (Pathetically).  We thought Brayden was a pretty quick kid. . . and we thought that he had a lot of interest in soccer.  But you would never know from what took place on Tuesday night, and tonight. […]

I nearly cried the morning I woke up on Jaime and Ryan’s wedding day.  It was pouring. Literally.  And their ceremony at Greystone Country Club was supposed to be outside, overlooking the 18th hole.  With a  70% chance of rain projected for the entire day, I stood defeated.  The wind shifted miraculously though, and those rainclouds […]

I’m not sure when the last time I nearly went a full week without a blog post was.  Life just sometimes keeps me from keeping up. . . and I’m okay with that.  We’ve had an incredibly busy week, which included a forty-eight hour trip to Virginia.  I’m happy to be back into the swing […]

We haven’t really of course, but with how much we love them, we should purchase stock in the puddle jumper company.  If you don’t remember how I professed my love to puddle jumpers in the past, read this post from almost two years ago.  Yes, I do believe we are hindering Brayden’s progress in the […]

I will certainly miss this little one.  I’ve seen her three times since her birth for sessions, and today, they are packing up and heading to New Hampshire to begin a new phase in their lives.  So glad to get to know you Dino and Andrea!  And the best of luck to you in your […]

I have a LOT of friends who are teachers.  And another LOT of friends who are married to teachers.  So this is a week of celebrating for all of those people–because summer break starts next week, and I’m sure everyone is ready.  The only sad thing–James’ last paycheck until September comes on Friday.  And that […]

Just got back from watching James race in his first triathlon.  It was an experience.  And kind of makes me want to try.  But only kind of.  And like a SMALL kind of at all.  I found it intriguing. . . watching all the people swim.  And bike.  And run.  And the transitions in between. […]

I’ve never been quite so in love with a newborn’s hair before.  The past couple years, I’ve really been a huge fan of red hair.  And freckles.  I don’t get many kids with freckles, but every once and awhile, I get a cute little ginger headed child.  And this little boy is sure to grow up […]

You’d think that as a stay-at-home mom, I would be well aware of the calendar–because my husband is a teacher who has off for two months.  But I found myself, just three days ago, blinking dumbfoundedly that next week is my husband’s last week of school.  I knew it was coming, I just wasn’t aware […]

I’ve been photographing the wee one in this family since she was a newborn.  Her mom wanted to try out a park near their home that I’ve never been to before, and it was love at first sight.  I only wish it was a wee bit closer to me–I would be using it for many […]
