Nothing Every Day

................................................... {this moment} a friday ritual. a single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. a simple, special, extraordinary moment. a moment i want to pause, savor and remember. ..................................................

Did you think this post was going to be about basketball? Well, sorry to say it's nothing of the sort. In fact, life is just madness , hence the title. The rest of this post is mostly ramblings as a sort of healing, "get it off my chest" sort of moment in time unfolds. Read if you like. Know that it may make no sense to you. Aaron and I have been having some difficult conversations about what we're going to be doing with the future. What do we want our life to look like in 10 years? What steps do we need to start working towards now  to make it look like that. Nothing is decided. Nothing is certain. Our future isn't tangible... and that... is hard! We haven't truly been trying to get pregnant again, but I can honestly say there's been a few times I thought we would, and my heart has leapt with joy and excitement, only to be fed with disappointment. This is something that I have a hard time with. Everyone has an opinion on when we should  and should...

My dear friend Rheannon and I were friends in high school but kind of lost touch over the last decade. Who would've thought that these little ones could've brought us back together and helped spawn a really healthy, beautifully, uplifting, and supportive friendship for both of us.  Rheannon's son Jeremy was born just 6 months after Amity and what originally got us back into hanging out was that Rheannon hired me to capture Jeremy's first little moments here on this earth, outside of her comfy belly. It was so perfect, precious, and special. Now our two little hoots are growing up and experiencing the world together whenever the 4 of us can set up a play date. Ami and Jeremy are fun to watch as they practice sharing, looking, standing, and Ami has tried to show Jeremy how to scoot around furniture. Rheannon has been a huge help in me finding some time to get myself to a place of feeling healthy and making good decisions about what I put in my bo...

My sweet... in tiny details...

Amity is 100%, an all-out, eating machine! She will try anything... fruit, veggies, dirt, you name it! Today we had a random mix of leftovers and delicious greek food and this was the result... I guess in a weird sort of way, I take some pride in letting Amity experience food. I don't really want her to develop a habit of playing with it, sure, but I DO want her to feel the freedom to eat it with her own hands and get a little messy. There's always time to clean up later and bath is one of her favorite things anyway, so we'll just make that a part of our day. She wasn't so sure about the hummus at first... but just wait... :) Spreading out some grape tomatoes with her hummusy hands. Soooo GOOD! How do I look Mom? What? There's no more raspberries? This is my greedy, sneaky, creepy face! That was delicious... now clean me up Momma! :)
