Yearly Archives: 2013

It’s like Dory says… “just keep swimming… just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…”

We’ve been doing a LOT of swimming this past week.  Thank goodness our little man is part fish I think and loves to swim.  Because you see when he isn’t in the pool, he’s screaming to go outside and he’s been a real crank monster!  I think he is teething AND possibly hitting a growth spurt;  but let me tell you,  this week hasn’t been easy!

He’s decided he doesn’t want to nap anymore… at all!  It’s not just his morning nap… it’s all naps (as I type a single tear drips down my cheek!).  I’m praying it’s just a phase that maybe has to do with the teeth or the spurt.  I’m begging that it will pass.  Will you please say a little prayer for me that it is a phase that’s on it’s way out the door?!

But until then, I just keep repeating the wise words of Dory and we just keep on swimming;  both literally and figuratively!

Little man is happiest when he’s in the pool these days and I’m happy to have caught a few moments of his splashing, curious, I just went under water happy moments!

These remind me that just as Dory says… rough days too will pass but these precious moments (good and bad) happen just so quickly!  It’s nice to have a constant reminder now of go grab that camera!

And…. breathe and keep on swimming!

OH and p.s. the winner of the this guy needs a name contest…. random selection is (drum roll please)

    Great blog and photos! He is growing so fast!ReplyCancel

We met this handsome fellow at the petting zoo two weekends ago!  He’s a pretty handsome devil, wouldn’t you say!

The problem is:  we failed to get his name!  We met Chester and Melven and a few others; but totally neglected to get this happy to model show off’s name.

This is where you come in… Give him a name!  And if you pick the right (clever) name, you win a gift card to good old starbucks !

Leave your name in the comment section below… open until Tuesday night 7 pm EST.

Who do you think he looks like?!  What name feels right to you???  And what will you get at starbucks?!

  It was the most beautifuly day last Sunday!  One of those days where the weather was begging for a photo shoot!  It was nice and cool with that warm summer breeze that only comes around once in a while (usually before or after a big storm!)

Danielle was just glowing when I walked up to meet her in her unbelievable house situated right on the beach.  Now when I say right on the beach;  I mean right smack dab on the beach, like a foot away from the rolling waves!

This was a pretty big week and weekend for Danielle:  she just had her birthday, her hubby just got home from deployment AND she has started to show some signs of labor…. Eeeeeeeeee!!!!  

So the fact that the weather was dog gone breezy/heavenly degree perfection made me feel extremely blessed and happy!

We decided not to stray too far from her gorgeous home location and just traveled down the road a little to a nice secluded little area of the beach.

You know how some women are just meant to be pregnant?!  Danielle is one of those women!  She is stunning!  She still has tons of energy and just emits love and excitement!  She’s kind of wonderful to be around to put it simply.  

She and Mike are beyond excited to meet baby Benton and to open up their family to one more (Furry big brother Leroy is eagerly awaiting his little brother and playmate!)
