My Life
4 months. We're 4 months in with little Kylie June, and I can't believe it. It's amazing how one little girl can change so much about my life. So pardon me while I've had few-and-far-between blog posts. I have a beautiful little girl and a spitfire little boy to look after!!
I just…
I just...don't have time for blogging. I just...don't have time for photography. I just...don't have time to refinish any of the furniture that's sitting in the garage waiting for me. I just...don't have time to work on any sewing projects. I just...don't have time to work on remodeling or decorating our house. I just...don't have time to waste, because these precious years with my family will be gone before I know it.
Camera Equipment – Updated
I realized recently that this post about my camera equipment is really outdated, so here I am today to rectify that situation. I've upgraded my body (camera body, that is...if only we could just "upgrade" our stomach, hips and thighs!), purchased a couple new lenses and learned gobs of new techniques since that post. My new camera body is this, the Canon 7D. My old camera, the Rebel XSi, was an "entry level" DSLR. It's perfect to ...
Kylie’s “Official” Photoshoot – 1 wk old
I can hardly believe our sweet Kylie June is 3 weeks old today. In celebration, here are her 1 week photos from a couple weeks ago! It takes me forever to get around to doing anything at all these days (well, anything other than changing diapers or making bottles), this being no exception. I hope to get some family/sibling pictures taken with Daryl and James soon too! Enjoy these photos, and remember I am what ...
Kylie June is here!
Well, she's been here for a week now actually. I've been a little bit busy the past few weeks, but in short: My blood pressure readings were gradually going up the last few months of pregnancy, so my doctor decided we should induce at 39 weeks. On August 17, 2011 at 1:05pm Miss Kylie June came into the world weighing in at 7lbs 4oz, 20 inches long! She's already had her 1 week checkup and is ...

Life
Old FashionedI’m old fashioned. I’m not talking about the way I dress or the way I talk (although current fashion does baffle and disturb me at times). I’m talking about the way I want to live. The way I raise my kids. The way I interact with folks. My opinions on people’s character and the sad reality that the importance of good character... [Read more of this post]

How Far Along: 37 weeks Size of Baby: From head to heel, a bit over 19 inches! Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m up about 23lbs! Maternity Clothes: I’m mostly in soft shorts and full-panel maternity shorts since everything else seems to cut into the belly when i sit! Boo! Gender: Hoping & praying the sonogram was right and she’s a girl,... [Read more of this post]
How Far Along: 32 weeks Size of Baby: From head to heel, 16.7 inches. (: Total Weight Gain/Loss: I believe I’m up 15lbs total…trying to eat right so that number doesn’t go up much more! Maternity Clothes: I’m lovin’ the soffee shorts and tank tops. It’s SO HOT and tightness around my belly area makes me ill. Gender:... [Read more of this post]
How Far Along: 30 weeks Size of Baby: From head to heel, 15.7 inches. (: Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m only up 14lbs! We’ll see how long this nice slow weight gain keeps up… Maternity Clothes: I’m only wearing maternity pants, but I can wear some non-maternity elastic waisted shorts and non-maternity tops. I broke down and ordered... [Read more of this post]
I am for sure one of those people who is never truly satisfied with what they have. Honestly, most often I don’t really see it as a problem. It often is disguised as ambition, or being eager and motivated to move on to the next thing life holds for my family…a new house, vehicles, or even a better living room or bedroom suite. Sometimes... [Read more of this post]
