How is it already almost Fall?  This Summer flew by in lighting speed for me… anyone else? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Fall in the PNW a lot, but I also LIVE for the Summer up here, so to see it go is a little sad for me.   Anyway, I’m excited to announce the […]

We enjoyed our second Christmas morning in Portland. I’m so grateful Brian’s schedule had him home for Christmas! I was about 2 months pregnant in these photos. The first couple are from before our Christmas church service, followed by dinner at a friend’s house. Brady asked for a “red speed bike” for Christmas so, that […]

Since it’s now June, I thought it only appropriate to blog about our cutting down of the Christmas tree from last November. 🙂 Finally playing catch up on more personal photos now that I’m officially on “maternity leave/baby watch” for the summer. This Fall we ventured to a different Christmas tree farm than last year, […]

It was a very cold January day for Dallas, TX. I had just travelled from Portland, OR back to my old stompin’ grounds (Dallas) to document this sweet family’s day. We had only spoken on the phone a hand full of times before meeting each other early that morning.  A little fact about Lorilei is she […]

My heart nearly exploded with pride & joy as we watched our sweet little boy’s first school Christmas program at his new preschool in SW Portland. This school has been a blessing and he’s really enjoyed it.  We dressed Brady in his new “Christmas best” from his RaRa for the big night. Isn’t he so handsome?! […]

This was our first Christmas in Oregon. While we certainly missed our family & friends back in Texas, it was nice to be together just our little family in our home without having to travel.  We enjoyed snuggling by the wood burning fire, and made a big breakfast together, and stayed in our pajamas all […]

This was the first year we got to cut down our own Christmas tree! Brian is ALL ABOUT the real tree. I grew up with a fake tree (we had a cat) so, it’s been lovely having real Christmas trees since being married.  We drove to a lovely Christmas tree farm, Sunny Day Tree Farm, located a […]

We celebrated Christmas for the first time in our home in Dallas. Brian had knee surgery earlier in the month and couldn’t sit in the car for long, so visiting Houston was out.  We’ve also just wanted to have Christmas at our house, especially since Brady is at a fun age and we’ve also never […]
