Christmas tree farm-ing on the coast.

90% swings

100% heaven!

(thank you, weather, for clearing up long enough for us to spend a magical day here.  it was worth ever single day stuck inside.)

so I'm feeling a bit nostalgic

my baby was three months old yesterday.  did I get a picture?  nope. so I hope he doesn't look much different tomorrow because that's when the photo shoot will take place.  you can call me a cheater, I deserve it.

but just in case you're not a mathematician, three months is halfway to six months.  and that is halfway to twelve, which equals a year.  and then he's off to college.

so yeah, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic.  if anyone knows anything that will make the time slow down (or stop!)  let me know.  because as much as I can't wait for this little man to grow up and wrestle his older brother (who may or may not try daily to go ahead and see if he's ready for it yet), I just can't seem to slow each day down enough to soak in enough of this baby and his bright eyes and his perfect mouth and his little dimple.

i love these (huge, wrinkly, alien-looking) little feet.

I'm indecisive. well almost always. Actually, just sometimes.

as in, I love both of these and can't decide which one I love more.

black and white instantly feels nostalgic to me and usually feels more emotional. but color captures everything and it seems like you can actually feel the ocean breeze and taste the salt water and jump right into that moment all over again.

what say you? are you a black and white kind of person?  or are you all about color?

I'm starting this new super fun game that no one likes to play.  I don't tell you where your photo shoot is actually going to be located, and you have to follow smoke signals to find it.  I thought just for kicks I'd try it out with these three.

AND, when you finally find your way, the location is freezing cold and within 5 minutes your baby's teeth are chattering.

but lucky for me this family are not only great friends of ours, but also great models with even greater circulation, so you can't tell at all if they were annoyed or cold (or both).   me on the other hand, my lips turn blue and I wear a perma-scowl, so had the tables been turned we'd both be in trouble.

Thanks Shockleys, for being so freaking photogenic.

just a sneak peak into next weeks post.

I'm kind of obsessed.
