Motherhood Right Now
Motherhood right now is....Siblings So Far
About a Beck! Two and a Half.
Two and a half plus a month because time is escaping me, so rounding the bases toward three faster than I'd like to admit. Also messing with my mind, Beck will be a big sister at her next birthday in five seconds.

Merry Merry!! (plus photography gift ideas)
Guys. 
I have talked so.much. about how I got a new camera this year, and it has changed so much on this website, in freelance work I do, and just in for-fun pictures that I can take so much more easily with a camera that takes such great pictures. My last camera was old, tired, and needed a lot of coaxing and perfect light to produce anything close to great images. ...
Beck's 2nd Birthday
....in very bad pictures. 
Beck turned two on Saturday! And Beck acted like she was two on Saturday.
There will be a separate About a Beck post with talk of development and how much I love her, but this is about the actual day. Beck actually spent the night before her birthday at my parents' house, so we had the morning to decorate and clean and cook for her party without her, which in fact makes for a much better party, honestly. We picked her up still in her jammies (it was a snow day), and she was SO excited to come home to "some new balloons!" I have no idea when we have had old balloons, but ok.

Beach Images {litchfield beach}
Last weekend we went to Pawley's Island for Labor Day, and we are still talking about what a freaking blast we had. 
We stayed in a perfect little condo with our friends Rebecca and Ed and their daughter Sienna, so Beck had a friend. Friends at age 21 months are tricky, they tend to whack at you and take your toys. We're working on it. ...
About a Beck! 20 months.

A One Year Old Beck! {pictures}
What seems like one million years ago we had our friend and life photographer (because we're like royals but also it's a convenience + talent thing) Michelle of Mira Photographs take one year pictures of Beck. She was just a few days shy of 1, and I did the whole cupcake + balloons thing, which I originally was going to skip because omg cliche, but then I realized that cliches as they relate to babies are great and also adorable. ...
Five for Friday (in pictures!)
Beck is one today! It's unreal and exciting and sad and a normal day all at once. I've been looking over and over pictures from the past year, and wanted to share some of my favorites on this very special day. ...

We had pictures taken! 
I'm obsessed with them slash am working on not being terribly harsh on my less-than-slight postpartum body. I can call it postpartum forever, right? Because technically it is?
Anyway.

Snowyday 2016
We had a snow day! 
While the rest of the East Coast was getting totally blanketed in snow, we were getting our yearly max of 1-3 inches of snow mixed with some nice solid ice. People either were off or home early on Friday, and then Saturday morning we had pretty snow to play in!

Just For Fun - More Maternity Pics
I promise this is it with the vain self-indulgent photography. 
My bff is just super talented and we had so much FUN doing these pictures, it kind of makes the current discomfort and impatience a teensy bit better.

Pregnancy Right Now: 37 Weeks + Pictures!
So we arrived. To full-term, to the point where if I go into labor right. this. second. we can attempt birth at the birth center (always as long as nothing changes or goes wrong) and no one will lose their minds. Except me, who is always losing her mind. Hence the ironic picture.

Family, in Pictures
On Saturday two of my best friends threw me a baby shower (it feels selfish to say that like...they threw the baby a shower and I'm just her representative) and it was lovely and wonderful and I'm going to tell you all about it. The party was in our neighborhood, so before we headed over my sisters and mom came over to take some pictures because 1. we didn't at the beach this year, 2. we were all showered and looked pretty good and 3. we won't all be together at Thanksgiving, which is when we usually have this ritual of kind of fighting about pictures but then being really happy we took some. 
It's always kind of a process.

Beach Week Recap 2014
So, we've been home from the beach for a week. 
I saw my dad on Thursday night and he was all "ya recovered from the bummer of being home yet?" Poor guy. He had a good time.
So, to celebrate a weirdly rainy Monday with way too much to do this week, let's look back, mmkay? We don't need to get into busy week stuff just yet.
