which is one of the main motivations for me to keep this blog up--to remember, to record and capture moments before they have disappeared from time and memory. inevitably, though, that is the reality of life and we must let it run this course.
all that being said, each week of this year i will be taking a picture of my girls, all two of them and posting the images here. this year will be a sweet one to capture, as we transition from a family of three to four. i love the idea of seeing hadley and her little sister's friendship unfold week after week in portraits all gathered up here in one place. i know i will treasure and be thankful for those collected memories.
and i hope you enjoy as well.

baby girl #2: she's rolling and kicking and dancing up a storm in there! the last few weeks especially it feels as if i have really popped out, and to be honest i'm not sure how i feel about it...many mixed emotions. apparently she's the size of an eggplant, which is quite crazy to realize how fast she is growing. we are 24 weeks and four days today, over halfway to meeting her! david and i are giddy with our growing excitement and anticipation of having two daughters. we cannot believe how this is our life. we absolutely love it.

What a sweet idea! It'll be fun to see how much your girls have grown a year from now! How is the crib-to-bed transition going? We switched our girl in November and it was easy at first, then really, really hard and (hopefully) now getting better.
ReplyDeletekarissa! so far it's going really really well! she has officially slept in it for three naps and two nights... she calls for me from there still like she thinks she can't get out of bed until i come in which is really sweet, but i am preparing myself for it to not always be this easy...and if it is, well then i guess we will have lucked out! but i'm sure it will be different, too, when baby girl #2 comes along...and then when they start sharing a room, a whole other story!! how was it hard, if you don't mind me asking??
DeleteLOVE :) #1 I totally get. I use my blog and my Instagram as such. #2 I'm stealing all of your minimalist nursery ideas when I have kids ;) #3 Totally used to write by blog in all lower case letters haha I feel as though we may be kindred spirits ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! oh my goodness rachel. on our last space i wrote with capitalization, etc. and honestly just feel like this is more of a journal when i write all lowercase.. is that weird? hah!
