"Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful... Beautiful boy"

As promised, here are more shots of baby Isaac who is 2 weeks old now.
I had so, so much fun doing this newborn shoot in his home and getting to edit these!
Isaac's dad has a music room in their house and a lot of great guitars. So I was looking forward to photographing this little guy in one of his dad's guitar cases. We used a mini case that held Isaac's great grandpa's guitar. Also, the antique scale you'll see below is the vintage find that I was so excited to use and told you about in a past blog. :) The walls in Isaac's bedroom went great with the color of the scale. Oh, and the final photo (at the bottom of this post) is just for fun and I was originally going to delete it, but right after I took it Sheri and I were laughing and I said it was the kind of photo that needed a caption, so it snuck in. :)

This is for you, Nathan.

A friend of mine went to college in Idaho about 10 years ago and never moved back to Oregon. And I'm beginning to think he's going to stay there! :) He made a comment the other day about how "we" (over here in Oregon) can "have the rain" and how he has great snow over there during the winter months to ski and do all that stuff. And I basically said, "hey, we Oregonians love our cabin-fever, seasonal depression months of January and February!" :) So here's a photo I snapped that conveys a moment of that I had last week. hee, hee. Yes, this is for Porky (his old nick-name... he's not over-weight... I'm not really sure where he got that nick-name. In fact, I'm not sure where I got mine... I'm not sharing mine. It's silly.)

Mr. Isaac, You're So Sweet

I got to photograph 10 day old Isaac today. He is so tiny and adorable and kissable. He's the son of our good friends Dustin and Sheri, who have tons of personality, so naturally, their little guy is already full of that! :) There will be more photos of him to come this weekend.

I love this guy!

I think my husband Josh is so cute! Everything about him. He's my best friend and I still see him with hearts in my eyes.
This past weekend we had a lot of fun just being homebodies. We took turns sleeping in, Josh worked on the garage a bit (organizing it - our goal is to park in it. crazy, huh?) :) We went on a date to the movies and coffee afterwards and even played Scrabble like an old couple one night after Jude went to bed. :)
The little mister Judester is a bit fascinated by the guitar right now and asks about it several times a day, so Josh pulled it out for him a couple times and let him play with him.
Anyway, I'm starting back up doing photo shoots this week and I'm so excited for a newborn shoot I get to do tomorrow! Baby cuteness coming your way soon! :)

Snapshots from our day

Jude is really sweet and aggressive with our cat, Noah. He adores Noah, so he likes to hug him, but he also likes to tackle the poor cat, and keep him pinned down from time to time. Noah is a really good sport about it and takes a lot of loving "toddler abuse". I secretly wonder if Noah likes the attention - he'll take it however he can get it! :)

26 weeks

My mom came up last night and helped me sort through all the wonderful baby girl clothes that friends have passed along to me. It's been fun seeing such sweet, dainty things. (Thank you friends!) We sorted by size and got the clothes organized and put in drawers! Since moving Jude into his "big boy room" the nursery has been a bit of an eye sore, so it felt great to actually make some progress in that room. I'm almost 27 weeks now and this pregnancy has continued to go well. Baby and I are healthy and I am tremendously thankful for God's hand upon us. Thank you for your prayers! :)

Happy Monday!
