Newborn Photography

There is nothing more beautiful than having photos done with your newborn.  It's such a fleeting moment in time and although it may cost a lot of money, it is so, so worth it. 


It was important for me to get some staged photos of him




 
 



 
 
It was also really important for me to capture photos of us in our home.  Just as we were. 
 




 
And some more staged ones in our home.

Letter writing challenge

So this November I want to do a different kind of 30 day challenge.  Everyone loves to get mail but very few people actually receive real mail anymore.  So in November, I am going to write and send out 30 letters to people.  Most of these are things that I am thankful for.  The following list is a list of ideas of people to send a letter to: 1.  someone who changed my life 2.  someone who supported me in hard times 3.  someone who brings me joy 4.  letter to myself in the future - obviously I can't mail this 5.  letter to someone who is currently in the armed forces 6.  letter to someone who has served in the armed forces in the past 7.  letter to a secret keeper 8.  letter to someone who holds my past 9.  letter to a former teacher 10.  letter to a friend 11.  letter to a family member 12.  letter to someone who I admire 13.  letter to someone who inspires me 14.  letter to a l...

Jury Duty - for the only other 11 people who understand

At first I thought, who am I to judge? But on second thought, who am I NOT to judge? At least by judging I am standing up and saying “This is not OK”. I cannot stand for this. From the start I knew I would be picked. And at first it was interesting to see all of the people from all walks of life. 60+ of us sitting before a judge and having 2 lawyers ask us random questions. Some were put on the spot. Still others were passed over. There seemed no plan or rhyme to their methods, at least not that I could see. The mood was tense. Most of us didn’t want to be there. I sat expectantly, knowing at the end that I would be picked. Gradually, the people one by one started fading away and you could see who wouldn’t be picked.

When they called my name and I sat among 11 others, we were all unsure and all a little irritated- especially when the judge told us to expect to clear our schedules fo...

Faith and Hope

Two weeks ago Richie and I went in for our routine 20 week sonogram. We were excited to see her but since we already knew she was a girl, we weren't expecting any surprises.  But a surprise is what we got.  During the sonogram nothing really was said about any issues.  She wasn't really cooperating by showing us between her legs just to confirm that she was a girl.  She was laying on her side with the cord between her legs and no amount of jiggling or prodding by the doctor would get her to move.  And he was trying really hard to move her.  I remember at one point he was recording the blood flow of the cord and the screen goes a different color.  It's supposed to be this Doppler looking thing (like you see on the weather channel) and the cord is supposed to turn red and blue.  I remember it turning red and blue but it wasn't consistent and the color would stop and then it would flash up again.  I think it's supposed to s...
