Sweet baby A

I got to hang out with this little sweetie and her parents when she was just a couple weeks old. Her mama had so many cute hats and outfits ready for the session and she slept right through all of the costume changes:)

graces . . .

1. Christian got a huge bag of jammies from one of my favorite clients – they are all his favorite characters and he just loves them <3
2. A nice lunch with my friends from Northrop today – I miss seeing them every day!
3. Every time Christian and I go out anywhere with friends someone comments on how well behaved he is – I am so blessed to have such a sweet little guy
4. Made breakfast burritos for dinner for the first time by myself – they definitely didn’t taste like moms but they were good:)
5. First lake trip of the season coming up – can’t wait!

My little bud :)

If you follow my blog you will recognize this little guy:)He belongs to my good friends from high school and is just a month or so younger than Christian. It is so fun watching him grow up – I can hardly believe our boys will be 3 in a few months – sniff sniff:(

and of course a couple with his gorgeous mama <3

graces . . .

1. Friendships that span 13+ years
2. Family fun night at Scooter’s Jungle – Christian had a blast and mama and dada got a workout!
3. Off to my old job tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend and one of my biggest supporters
4. Christian has been talking about his birthday and his cake and candles for weeks – I think he is going to love his birthday this year!
5. Some cute new hats for my upcoming newborn shoots – I love having talented crafty friends!

All Smiles!

This little guy is as cute as they come and one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met! His beautiful mama was a high school classmate of mine and does wonderful things for the Change for Chad Foundation that I mentioned here. Aren’t they the cutest little family?!

graces . . .

1. Had a good Mother’s Day despite the hubby having to work – darn restaurant business. He sent beautiful flowers and I spend a quiet day home with the little guy who was on his absolute best behavior:)Then had a yummy dinner at my moms <3
2. When I went in last night to check on Christian he wasn’t quite asleep – he rolled over and said “good night mama, sweet dreams” – first time I’ve heard him say sweet dreams and it was the cutest thing ever:)
3. Got a jar of crunchy cookie butter from my mom – I was having withdrawels!
4. Wore my hair curly yesterday for the first time in probably a year – when I got in the car I thought I heard Christian say “mama have pretty hair” but then he started repeating “crazy hair crazy hair” over and over again so I guess I misheard him:P
5. A huge opportunity coming up in a couple of weeks thanks to my dad’s cousin who you will see on the blog shortly:)

A happy little guy :)

This little guy was so stinking cute – he had so many different expressions. It was a little chilly the day of our session but he was a trooper:)

graces . . .

1. Dinner tomorrow to celebrate my mom and grandmas <3
2. Christian did great at his first private swim lesson yesterday! He was not a fan of the pool the last time we tried lessons over a year ago so I'm glad he has changed his mind;)
