.three.little.birds.

realized i never blogged these, so here they are!  all three of my little birds, finally together in one picture.  :-)  this is when b was only 1 month old...i can hardly believe how quickly he has grown. 

so here they are, about four months ago, for their very first formal (yet so informal) photo session. 

i love these kids.  sometimes its makes my heart hurt i love them so much.

.visiting.gramps.

Back in June, Greg and I (and our sweet baby b at only 1.5 months old) flew out to Portland for a friend's wedding.  During our trip we drove up to see Gramps, in Hoodsport, WA.  The afternoon we spent with him was simply wonderful.  He is Greg's grandpa, and the only living grandparent left on Greg's side.  Being able to travel to see him so that he could meet Braydon was so special.  It was tons of fun to spend time with him at his favorite local restaurant (where I had fried fish & chips for the first time EVER...and LOVED them!!), and to visit his old home where Greg has many memories visiting as a child.  Here are a few pictures from our afternoon with Gramps. Looking forward to getting back out there with all three kiddos!

I love this first one SO much.  See the next picture to see what he was taking a picture of.  The two of us were bent over into the bush together just to get a picture of a ladybug.  :-)

.tiger.and.lily.

so i'll be honest.

i don't like cats.

but kittens?  they're pretty cute. 

and i got to meet the two cutest kitties on the face of this planet.

meet tiger & lily...my nephews kittens. 

cutest.
kittens.
ever.

who knew kittens could be SO much fun to photograph?!?

.may.girl.

remember way back when, sometime in may, when my baby girl turned 8??

well. she did.  and now, 4 months later, here's the blog to show the party she had.  i'm just a little behind.  i'd like to blame it on having a new baby.  but i am never on time.  :)

so here's the luau at the ymca...GREAT location for a party, fyi.  :)

love this girl.

so.
very.
much.

.nine.days.new.

i thought for sure i'd be doing a full out photo session on this little guy each day of his little life.

turns out it's a bit harder to do when it's your own baby.

when babe is sleeping and in a deep enough sleep to do a fabulous photo session....you are also wanting to sleep.  or eat.  or shower.  of course, you end up cleaning up after the other two kids instead and never end up eating or sleeping or showering.  and goodness knows you don't want to chance the little babe waking up...cuz you just fed him and you don't really want to feed him again for another hour...at least...so that photo session gets pushed yet another day...sigh.

so little b was 9 days old before his first photo session.  and luckily...still cute and sleepy as can be.  however, i found myself less adventurous with my own babe - because my energy level was less than 1/2 of what it was prior to this new little man's arrival.  but, again, he's stinking cute.  so the turn out is still just as priceless to me as i had hoped it would be.  *love*

so here's little b at a sweet nine days old.  next photo session is at 4 weeks...so enjoy this for now.  :-)

happy
