Change

February 10th, 2013

I think it’s time I update you on something that is happening in my life.

Brian and I separated back in July. We filed for divorce in November. We will finalize in the next few weeks.

This process, for both of us, has been very difficult yet very peaceful.

We’ve opted to make this as private as possible because it’s simply about us and our children. We learned very early on that some of the worst effects of divorce comes from people not involved with us directly.

We are still a close knit family, just in a different way. Every week, we have dinners together, we laugh together, there is much peace among us. We truly are doing what’s best for the children, in every capacity.

I hope you’ll respect our request for privacy during this process. I just felt it was time to share, as many things will be changing (we’ll be selling the house, etc.) and I’d like to continue writing here.

Ten.

January 25th, 2013

Well. Here’s it is. My oldest baby turns ten today. I don’t feel sorrow when it comes to my kids’ birthdays, I mean, I certainly miss those days of sitting on my lap for comfort and sweet baby feet and never, ever being embarrassed of their Mom. But I love watching their personalities emerge. I adore watching these sweet little people turn into big sweet people and I love getting to know them. Every day it feels like something new. Each year, on their birthdays, it just feels like we are doing exactly what birthdays are for, celebrating their amazing lives, the gifts that they are. The love we share. GAH. It’s so beautiful.

As usual, we conducted our birthday interview last night. I hope you enjoy it.

You Capture | Sky

June 4th, 2012

Oh, sky.

I hope you guys had a good time photographing the sky. If there’s one thing I know: we can all photograph the sky.

I did a few random sky shots, nothing completely interesting, but my favorite was this one.

After a long newborn session, Lynette and I stopped for a late lunch. I’m thankful my camera was handy. I love the contrast of the colors. I love it when the sky is so beautiful and blue. I a little bit like embarrassing Lynette by photographing things outside of my window in public. Oh, I ordered a double cheeseburger, no pickles, no onions, in case you were wondering.

That’s it for me, now it’s your turn!
