where i've been




the last time i posted was april 19. that's because on april 20, our little fellow was born. his name is samuel herbert poses. we are just adjusting to life with two and we are loving it but quite tired. i have a lot of stuff to blog about so i'm looking forward to getting back to regular posts! stay tuned: i'm hoping to be back in a regular way soon!

my good friend caroline did the newborn shoot of sam. we can't believe she managed to finesse such beauty out of what seemed like total chaos and we are so so thankful to have these awesome photographs of such a fleeting time in our lives (sam will never be so small again!!). see more of her fantastic portraits on her blog

ruby in pictures


my good friend caroline kaye did a photo shoot of ruby for her fourth birthday.
she's so talented, the photos are incredible. sooo happy
check out more on her blog here

ridiculous or cute?


kind of smitten with these short bangs for little R




and this boy's cut... way cute

8ish to go


actually, more like 7 weeks or less. time is flying.
this is me last week.
when i sneeze the muscles on the side of my basketball belly ring with searing pain.
i am nervous as hell about life with two.
but very very excited to meet this person who's been knocking around my insides like a pinball machine.
the movements of this baby are so different than with ruby- hers were like a graceful waterbed. this one is very anatomical and jerky, like all bony knees and elbows poking about.
we don't know the gender. we didn't with ruby. fulllll of anticipation.

night snow(wo)man + walk


the little one's nap stretched to 5:00
when she woke up she peeled out of bed to throw on her snow gear
i had promised her we'd make a snowman

after we made our snowman (ahem, she corrected, snowWOman)
we walked to the end of our street to ogle a massive snow pyramid made by neighborhood kiddos

magical night

snow desserts


today we had an all-day snow storm
we gathered fresh snow and made frozen desserts by topping it with maple syrup, soy cream and sugar, and chocolate soymilk (seperately)...mmmm
