Last Summer

Since my camera is broken and will be until I can get her into the shop, I thought I’d share some older pics. It’s fun to look back…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

A little over a year ago I was round and loving every swollen inch of my pregnant body. Well, maybe not the swollen tootsies, but the rest was fine by me. I felt like a Goddess. Pregnancy is wonderful. One thing I loved most about my pregnant belly was all the kisses and whispers and attention it got…

A little over a year ago, life got a bit busier. I spent more time talking in riddles outloud and pouring sugar into the coffee filters because, well, sleep deprivation makes you funny and weird. Funny and weird is also trying to pose for a picture while everyone looks and smiles at the same time. Ha!

That look on my face is like, “Doh.”

About a year ago, Noah was tiny, cute, and quite the spunky monkey. This dude was born with some healthy pipes, Y’all. He had the most insanely high octave cry when he was tiny. I’m sure the Pacific whales could hear him from here. And they probably ran (swam?) for their lives!

On the night before Noah’s birth, I wasn’t nesting. I was climbing on my roof to see and capture this beautiful sky. Some women fold cloth diapers when they nest, some women sew curtains, I climb ladders and stare at the sky…

Last summer, Bella and Austin became big siblings. Since Bella is a little devil sometimes (just ask her baby brother), the horns seemed fitting…

If something wonderful happened in your summer of 06, share it! I’d love to hear!

I love that you still had in your belly button ring when you’re preggo belly. You’re awesome.

Tori, It was a special belly ring made for women who are pregnant so that they don’t lose their hole in those last months of pregnancy. It was just a thin plastic tube that flexed and moved, with little beads on the ends. http://www.pregnancypiercings.com .

Oh my goodness. Amazing. You’re strikingly beautiful.

I love those photos, how neat.

I love that you know who you are. It comes across in spades, and it is fun and attractive, and refreshing.

This is a nice post!
Stepherz, do you have any “off” day, I mean you always look so beautiful, usually after a delivery with the release of hormones and the sleep deprivation, we tend to look horrible. But not you! Are you from Earth ?

Lisa, thank you! I think your last paragraph was the nicest thing I\’ve heard anyone say in a long time! Made me feel good!

Oh Sissi! I posted that pic because it\’s sooooo awful and pretty much portrays the chaos and insane tiredness of new mothering. It represents the insanity that was my life at that point. My hair wasn\’t even brushed and I probably needed a shower! But you are super sweet and thank you for your compliments!

I agree with Willowtree, that was cute overload! Time just goes by so quickly. I can feel this summer slipping away and I am so not ready.

Daws and I spent a great 5 days in Cali the summer of 2006. We went to the beach, went on a boat to watch dolphins, saw a very cool fireworks display at the pier in Long Beach. It was a very fun vacation!

Awesome Cheri! I’ve never been to CA, but want to go sooooo bad! I bet the fireworks there are amazing. Bigger cities tend to do a better job with the fireworks display. My small town 4th of July is kind of funny. They just don’t go all out here! They might as well just light some sparklers and call her done!
