I wanted to take some pictures of her today.

By the time I remembered to do it, the sun was almost set.

We went out anyways and picked some flowers.

I just love to watch her wander around outside.

We went to the beach today for the first time in about 4 months (besides the recent beach wedding

we attended)! The water was still too chilly to get in, but it was very nice to just be there.

Also, I realized that Georgia doesn't have a swimsuit!  We'll have to remedy that soon.

Saturday was David's 2nd birthday!  We celebrated with family by taking a train ride and

enjoying a picnic at the park!  It was a fun day and I think David had a wonderful birthday.

Next to David are his "state" cousins, Virginia and Georgia :)

Another instagram photo, sorry.  It's been a crazy week.

Georgia loves to help me wash her hair.  She scrubs her head quite well ;)

I have been craving cheese grits from Aunt Catfish's for a couple weeks

now. Due to various reasons, I really thought I was going to die yesterday if I

didn't get some.  So, my Dad texted me and offered to take Georgia and I for

lunch the today, and we invited Jean to come along with us!

We ate lots of cheese grits, saw dolphins and birds, and enjoyed the rather brisk

air and one another's company today.  I'm so thankful for my family and friends!

Georgia's already trying to be a little mat rat.  She gets on the mat

whenever I'm not watching and loves to watch everyone roll.

She sat on the mat, and Mr. Mark came over to sit near her to make

sure she wouldn't get hit, and then she saw him and scooted closer to

him :) she is such a good listener and loves to hear people speak!

Well, here we have, a sac.

And in that sac, we have a baby.

And in that baby, we have a heart beating.

Where is this sac, with a baby, with a heart beating, you ask?

Well, it's in me.

:D

Baby #2 is due in October!

We had our first appointment yesterday, and we got to see the

wee one and see their heart beating away.  We just made it public

today, which is why yesterday's photo is a day late :)

The sun had almost set, but we still wanted to go to the park :)

Poor Gigi.  She got her first black eye today.  Which, is sort of ironic, since neither of her

parents have ever had one!  Which, I also find ironic since her father was nicknamed "Booboo Ben"

as a child and he gets punched and kicked at quite often being heavily involved in MMA.

I know it's really not that bad, but it's still a black eye in my book.

I'm grateful it wasn't any closer to her eye!  I know it hurt enough as it was.

And just for clarification - Gus accidentally knocked her

into the coffee table and she hit part of the metal leg.

Also, she was eating in this picture, haha.  It was the

easiest way to make her stay still for a shot at the time.

We attended a beach wedding of some great friends of ours today!  It was so beautiful.

When I go to weddings, I try to either leave my camera at home or leave it in the car.  If I bring it

to the ceremony, I tend to want to take over and shoot the whole wedding.  But as a photographer, I

want and need to respect that the couple chose a photographer and they have got it under control!

I need to let them do their job and let them get the awesome shots, not me.  Especially when those

photographers are my friends.  I want to do whatever I can to make that day easy for them, and

sometimes, leaving my camera out of it is the best way to do that!

All that to say, I can't wait to see Shannon and Jean's photos from today - they did an awesome job!

If I'm not shooting the wedding, I bring my camera for a few shots of my family, like

these that I've posted :)
