Temperatures at Windy Ridge have been frigid. Highs around 20 & lows around 8. I attempted a family photo in this weather, it was madness & mayhem and now my brain is fried. More on that later.

Jace Walker & Hazel Jean Today is Jace Walker’s golden birthday, 8 years old already! 8 years ago I was 29 years old and just misdiagnosed with Graves disease(I was later diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis). My thryroid was acting crazy and my pregnancy with Jace was a little harder because of this. I started labor […]
An impromptu getaway to the coast to say hello to the ocean & breathe the salty air. Just me, Levi & baby Hazel. Also a chance to wear the darling Riihipeikko hat that Ninni sent. We got compliments everywhere we went. Laurie’s Homestead serves the best breakfast in town. It reminds me a bit of The […]
I opened the box and hyperventilated. I can’t believe Christy found this vintage leather case with my name on it. The homemade lemon marmalade & garlic plate were icing on the cake. I OWE YOU, my friend!
Warning: the photos you are about to witness are blurry due to the operator’s hastiness and blatant disregard of proper settings. The operator being me. Me being blatantly dis-regardless and hasty. I hope you can see our thankfulness despite the blur. Claire folds her hands for Grace. Everyone was able to make it except Tim & […]
One of the things I did today. Tackled the little guys and buzzed their mops. Now if I could only get the big boys to get their hairs cut. And their sideburns shaved(ahem Landon).
Not entirely failed because photos of my baby girl are sweet no matter what. I meant to get photos of Hazel in the beauiful dress & bonnet that Tamara made. I got baby all dressed up in the exquisite little dress. I fed her, burped her, rocked her & cuddled her until she was sound asleep. I ever […]
Levi on the phone with his Dad. Truck-driving Pops is on the road, hopefully he comes our way soon. My camera hogs hamming it up. Jumping off the furniture. This is not allowed. Doesn’t seem to stop them. We woke up Sunday morning with every intention of going to church. Half of the family couldn’t […]
I was rocking Hazel in front of the fireplace and as usual my camera was beside me on the hearth. It was right before suppertime, a time I jokingly refer to as happy hour. The kids are bored, hungry and brawling. I’m going a little crazy. I glance over and notice my little Wyatt fast […]
I took these photos of Hazel in her antique bonnet today. I love it, she looks like a little flower. I am going to add a variation of this bonnet to the Heirloom Layette Collection. Just in case you are interested.
