We were grateful to spend almost a week with both sides of my family in Katy, TX in between moving out of our home in Dallas and moving across the country to Portland, Oregon at the end of May 2015. We spent a few days with my mom and then a few days at my […]

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 […]

I love photographing my family. This is my wise dad, beautiful step-mom, and beautiful half siblings: Sam and Lisa (and Daria’s super kind servant-hearted mom, Sandra). They’re all quite wonderful. Photos of them are always pretty colorful (various hair and eye colors, etc… then throw me into the mix and we cover just about all […]

This year was another laid back Thanksgiving at our house. Not as relaxed as last year (when we had a 4 week old baby) when I made turkey lunch meat sandwiches and some homemade cranberry sauce for Brian and me and called it a night.   This year Brian grilled bone-in chicken and I made […]

On Friday my sister in law had her little girl, Alexis Grace. She was not expected to come for another week, but had an emergency c-section on Friday. Thankfully, momma and baby are all healthy!  Alexis is such a sweet baby already. She is the perfect size to hold (a little under 8 lbs) and […]

A couple weekends ago Kristin, Laura, and Judy hosted a wonderful baby shower for me/Brady.  I must say props to the hostesses because Judy is due with Millie in about a week, and Kristin is a couple weeks behind me in her pregnancy, and Laura has two little ones at home!   My mom and […]

HOW FAR ALONG? 27 weeks…. only 13 ish weeks left. SIZE OF OUR SWEET BABY? The head of cauliflower  (about 16 inches head to heal, and about 2.5 lbs). MATERNITY CLOTHES?  Yep. Still rockin’ them. Got some new maternity yoga pants so I’ll be exercising more soon. GENDER: BOY SLEEP?  More vivid/realistic dreams the past […]

Thanksgiving has been a whirlwind the past couple years since being married. Last year we drove to Kansas and spent Thanksgiving with Brian’s grandma, grandpa, aunts & cousins. Brian’s sweet grandma passed away in February. So, this year things were a bit different for the holiday.  It was the first time in 28 years my […]
