Baby W Turns 1!

My Valentines

It thrills my heart how much these two love each other. When we adopted Reni this past summer, we were concerned that Ellie would have a difficult time sharing her parents after having them to herself for nearly four years. Not a bit. It's like he filled a missing piece in her heart, just like he did ours. But really he didn't fill a missing piece, rather, he GREW our hearts. We're absolutely smitten with our little guy. And by "we", I mean me and my better half: Nathan. We joke that his first valentine's gift for me was an iced-tea maker. And I was really happy with the gift. Isn't that funny? That's the kind of practical girl I am. And he knows it -- who I am and what I like -- which is just one of the many, many reasons I love him. I love you, Babe!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

"Feeding your Photographer"

I came across this great little post about feeding your wedding photographer. If you don't have a wedding planner, this might be helpful when working with your caterer. ;-)

Yesterday this little beauty arrived on my doorstep. I can't describe the satisfaction I feel when an album comes in. Like one wedding photographer has said, "It's like crossing the finish line." This is what your wedding images were intended for: a thoughtfully designed collection of portraits and images that tell the story of your wedding day. This is THE album your children will cherish when you are old and gray ;-)

Here are a few images of Micah and Rebecca's album and a few images of some album spreads. Their summertime, country weddings remains one of my favorites. Their package didn't include album credit, however about 18 months after their wedding they approached me with the request for an album design which they wanted to order as a Christmas gift to themselves. It wasn't quite ready for Christmas, but did arrive just in time for another holiday coming right up on us! Thanks, Micah and Rebecca! I trust you will enjoy this for years to come!

I don't know where time has gone! I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted. Lest anymore time pass, here's another sweet one from 2010 that somehow didn't get published here. I wish you could see her hair! It's amazing! Her mom just swept it up there on the spot ... gorgeous!
