Monthly Photo

So I'm already 2 weeks late with this ~ we took it at 31 weeks but I didn't have a chance to post before we left for our FINAL trip of the year!!



Everything is still going great. We are having monthly ultrasounds to monitor Elliott's growth and everything is checking out great. As of 3 weeks ago, he weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. and looked a little something like this:


We are on countdown ... 7 weeks to go!

Our morning

Somebody was w-i-r-e-d this morning! Lucky to get her to sit still for about 3 seconds for this photo in her new big girl room!


More photos including shots of our new niece coming soon!

Football is back!

All is well ... football is back. Yes, it's a really big deal, mostly for the men in my life (husband, brother, etc.) but also for me because I really love football weekends of hanging out with friends and cheering for the Titans!

We were so excited that the NFL opener last Thursday featured the Titans! Even though we didn't win, I still thought we looked good.

Raegan was so excited about the Titans, that she left the room in one outfit and came back in this!



Ok, it was actually just a loaner outfit from Elliott, but he said she can use it until he gets here. Her mom and dad LOVED it and it was MUCH cuter than the Raiders cheerleading outfit she showed up in for Sunday football!

Go Titans!

Catching up: Miriam's Wedding

Earlier in the summer (like, 2 months earlier!!), my first cousin Miriam got married! She asked us to shoot it which was super fun (family wedding ... no pressure!), plus we just loved getting to be with all of my family, immediate and extended, for once!

At the rehearsal dinner:


The wedding was in my aunt and uncle's backyard ... so awesome! I LOVE weddings at home!

My mom's side of the family:

Cousins ~ we've grown from 6 to 13 (too bad Dan didn't make the wedding due to summer camp):


Girl cousins:

Love this pic of Caroline!!


And, for a couple of photos of the bride and groom ~ we're excited to add Chris to the clan! Here's the photoblog entry about their wedding if you want to see more!

Look who's growing up! (*edit*)

Over the past couple of months, we've gotten to see some favorite friends on our travels to shoot weddings all around! Thought I'd show you who all is growing up! Can't believe how big they are all getting!!

Annabelle and Judah:


Taylor is 1!!


Timothy and Samuel:

Ryan, Brittany, and Reese (notice they don't have a link ... don't you wish that would change?):


And Melissa, Sydney, and Taylor! We are so excited that Taylor came to meet everyone yesterday ~ 5 lbs. 14 oz., 18 inches. Can't wait to meet her in person in just a couple of weeks!


*Edit: We just took Raegan's 1 year pics today ~ I figured it was worth a blog edit for you to see her!*


Such cute and wonderful kids ... I think Elliott has a lot to live up to!!

Mad People

TV on DVD is such a wonderful thing. Most recently, Adam and I have been watching Mad Men thanks to some friends who gave us Season 1. It's not at all what I thought it would be from the title and visuals that go with it. It's about advertising executives in the 60's and their work and home lives (rather than gangs, violence, etc. like I initially assumed).

It's super interesting ... I spend a lot of time wondering how real it would feel to someone who lived and worked in that era ... is it totally accurate or overly-dramatized for entertainment?

Today, Adam and I both Mad Men'd ourselves.



Whose do you think is more accurate?

We just started Season 2 ~ I'll let you know how it goes!
