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. ..................................................

We had so many things going on a few weekends ago but all of it was a blast and though we were tired, it was great seeing so many friends and family! I am embarrassed to admit that I started this post about 2 weeks ago and am just getting around to finishing it. Oh, the life of mommy-hood... To start, we had an engagement scheduled for Friday morning in Windsor. My good friend Emily and her husband Matt (who have a little boy just a few weeks older than Amity) happily took on the task of watching Ami and she enjoyed herself quite a bit. We shot some awesome pictures at the Water Valley Golf Course in Windsor, but we were all feeling quite soggy at the end of the shoot as the temperature neared 90 by noon. That evening we went out with some friends Aaron knows through the physics department at UNC and celebrated Rob's (one of his buddies) girlfriend's birthday at the Rio downtown. It was a nice night and Amity was quite a sport being gone for such a big chunk of the d...

We went and paid a visit to my Grandma, Amity's Great-Grandma Rusho, this week and had a nice lunch out in Windsor. When we got back, we played and Grandma showed Ami the little doll she had recently finished crocheting a dress for. As you can see in the video, Amity thought the doll, and Grandma were a hoot and she laughed for the very first time! We were so thankful we remembered to bring the camera and caught as much of the giggles as we could! Since then, she has laughed one more time, last night, after spending a weekend with Nana and Papi (my parents) down in Parker. Aaron and I were out, shooting a wedding on Saturday, and Nana and Papi took great care of her.
