giggles with my little girl

After downloading my pictures from the day, I find that I am rarely in the pictures. I used to prefer it this way since I’m not photogenic and don’t like getting my picture taken. Photography has always been a favorite hobby of mine whether I’m documenting a trip, a celebration or just an evening around the house.

Now that I am a mother, I feel like the picture taking has increased a million times over and it’s of whatever random or cute thing either of my daughters happens to be doing. Reading books, playing with their daddy, running around outside, literally anything and everything. But I don’t want my daughters to look back through the pictures and just see themselves, I want them to see me too.

So, I’m making a promise to myself and my family that I will try to be in more pictures with them. Even if it’s just one out of every ten pictures, I will be happy and I know they will be happy in the future to see our lives captured forever this way.

this little piggy…

as sweet as can be

Our hands

The big sister

We’re almost 4 weeks into having  a second child and big sister Sofia seems to be adjusting well. So far anyway. She loves to give baby Olivia kisses and likes to point out to us when she’s crying – as if we couldn’t hear her. But it’s nice to see she’s concerned so we’ll not dwell on it too much.

Another lovebug

We would like to introduce our newest little lovebug!

Olivia Maria, born Friday May 15th at 10:36am

7lbs 3ozs, 19.5inches long

My little girl is going to be a big sister

This time tomorrow our lovebug should be a big sister. What a change this is going to be for all of us going from a family of 3 to now 4! I can’t wait to not be pregnant anymore and meet this little one that will not stop moving around and kicking! I would have thought that at this point he or she would be running out of room, but I guess they’re just as squirmy to get out as I am to have that out and in my arms.

Mother’s Day

My little lovebug and I on Mother’s Day. Can’t ask for anything more than a hug, a smile or a kiss from my little girl to turn any day into a great day! A very Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful momma’s out there!!!
