Earlier this week, I was blessed enough to get to spend a little time in the morning snuggling with each of my three in their beds. It’s so funny how each experience was so wonderful, but so different. Amry smelled like warm milk, rosy cheeks, breathy voice, hair parted just enough so I could barely see her eyes. She likes to snuggle. Tristan was wiggly and squirmy and busy and so excited to talk about his day ahead. He still likes to snuggle, though, and it made me sad to realize he won’t much longer. Logi Bear was still in hibernation, he is is own heater. He never woke up, but he let me cuddle up close…breathing deeply, resting so soundly. I fell back asleep next to him.
I cannot imagine my life any other way. These three keep me grounded and purposeful. They make me giggle each day. Their thoughtful Valentine’s Day cards they made while they were away made me cry. I can’t believe I turned into *that* mom. But I’m thankful for my sweet little Valentines and also of course my big, handsome Valentine who makes it possible for us to live this dream.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours!

I also love hearts. Especially bokeh hearts. And I love getting to work with two people who are very much IN love. And I love the anticipation of wondering who that new little person will be…
I first met them when baby girl was still in mommy’s tummy. I was so excited for them because they were having a girl. At the time, I was just a few months pregnant behind her and didn’t know what I was having. (I think she did an excellent job of sending those pink vibes my way.) And then, I got to watch her grow up: newborn, 4 months, 7 months, and one year…and see my future a few months before my own little girl reached those milestones. I just love looking back on all of these images and I try to imagine what kinds of memories we preserved for this family.
[“Sweet” tidbit of info: a few months ago I was contacted by the owner of Hey Cupcake! looking for a family to serve as the models for a new print ad campaign and THIS family was the one they chose! I can’t wait to see how the ads turned out!!!]
