39 weeks

Sabra snapped the photos while I yelled at the Saint Bernard to “Get out of here & quit slobbering on me!”,  as a result I look angry in most of the snapshots.  I added as much texture, burning & actions as possible to hide my many imperfections.  These may very well be the last photos of […]

Going to Germany

My bags are packed and I am going to Germany.  Not really, but my grandmother’s generation would have said this as code for “going to the hospital”.   Almost as  if it was too vulgar to say you were going to deliver a baby.  The same generation that would say “in the family way”.    So old […]

Great aunts & new cousins

Great aunt Marian from South Dakota came to visit us last Sunday.  I hope I am still traveling the country when I am her age. I was awakened Monday morning by a frantic phone call from my aunt Becka.  She was in labor and Uncle Tim was 4 hours away.  We were due at the same time […]

The waning days of summer

photo taken with iPhone by Sabra on one of our evening strolls I find it hard to believe that we are already in the middle of August.  We have savored and squeezed every drop out of this fleeting season so far(perhaps the triple digits were a bit much for my pregnant body).   Daytrips to the […]

A typical day

A typical day in the office.  A 2 year old ragamuffin perched on my shoulders with her scruffy toes propped upon my 37 week old unborn.  Violet is rearranging my unruly & neglected tresses while I go through emails.   I pick up my iPhone from my desk and snap a picture.   I capture the moment knowing I […]

Vintage Crochet Baby Slippers

My mom put my vintage thread to good use and crocheted little flowers to adorn our new Vintage Crochet Baby Slippers.  My aunt Judy sews these soft baby shoes and they are the only shoes I wore on Violet for the first 6 months of her life.  These shoes actually stay on and match eden’s bouquet clothing […]
