A pink fog

The sun is shining. A is asleep in her room for her morning nap, my sister just left with her gaggle of kids, and project runway is on in the background. These moments in the midst of life's busyness are so wonderful. I woke up this morning thinking it would be a busy crazy day, and maybe it was, but also there have been some wonderful things, some relaxing things. And it strikes me that each day could be hard, but they could be great also. It's all a perspective shift, I suppose. Honestly, being with A all day is better than I ever dreamed. I always thought I'd get bored or stressed but honestly, it suits me. Then again, I did always say I would have been a stay at home wife if I could have!

Well, I don't really know what much to say that I haven't said about our little muchkin already. BUT I do have a lot of photos of her to share, so here you go. Our little sweetheart. 

Baby A turns 1!

Somehow, somehow, our sweet little love has turned one. One! People always say "how has it gone so fast?" and "I can't believe it's been a year" and I feel that, but also I believe that it's been a year. A wonderful, full year. 365 days that have been filled with baby giggles and baby cream, 365 nights sleeping next to the baby monitor hoping that it's another night with no waking (50/50), 365 days without labour (woot) and a year being a family of 3.

We celebrated Avie's bday last weekend with friends and family. And boy, was it a celebration - the little party girl was so tired she napped through half her party and was passed out for the ride home. She knows how to party! She was adored and cosseted and generally made a fuss over. Plus food, sun, friends and wine. It was the perfect one year olds party.

Oh Snap, a photography themed baby shower

This last year my dear friend Laura had a baby, and therefore, a baby shower. Laura is a photographer (she has documented many of my parties) so I wanted a theme to capture that. The theme was, "Oh Snap, Laura's having a baby". And it went super well.
