A day of thinking

How can you be

everything to everyone

when you are

nothing to yourself?

Waterberry

We have 2 different kinds of shampoo. A pink one (you guessed, its Kayann's), that is strawberry, and a green one (thats right, green is for boys), that is watermelon.

Kayann wanted to mix them together. She wanted to smell them mixed. I asked her what it smelled like. She looked at me in a "matter of a fact" way and said:

WATERBERRY mom

Sweet little baby

Little Ashlynn is 4 1/2 months old! I cant believe how fast the time has gone. A few thing in her little life have changed. She got her ears pierced. She now eats 3 meals a day. She can roll over. She sleeps perfectly in her crib (she moves all around at night). She doesnt HATE tummy time,but she still isnt in love with it. She is more able to self entertain now. She is still sweet as ever. She just loves her mama (or the milk I provide). Her daddy can put the biggest smile on her face. She loves to suck her fingers

Man how her little world has changed in just a short few months

They are PREFECT!

It came the time to take pictures for our wedding invitations. We had absolutely no clue what we wanted. We knew what we didnt want

1. To pose. You know laying down together......Arms wrapped around each other..... fake cheesy smiles.....

2. To be wearing the exact same thing.

3. To be in the mountains, by a stream........I mean its cute but not us.

Something we wanted but didnt know how to get them, such as:

1. Fun

2. Different

3. Personality. We wanted people to look at the pictures and say "there is Michelle and Derek". We wanted them to be us, at our best (I know scary).

Most of our pictures STARTED as poses. They never stayed that way There was a random pole. Leave it to me, right? There really are sweet, loving pictures (that was the point, right?), that I absolutely love. I just love this man

My sister in law did an awesome job. Derek and I can be a crazy handful at times but Andria stuck right in there. Laughing at us the whole time. It was great. Andria did such an amazing job. I cant believe how much I love the pictures. They were exactly what we wanted and so much more!

THANKS ANDRIA

ps Christian.......thanks for pushing the stoller
