i met up with spencer and his parent’s at their home to start documenting spencer’s first year. spencer is 3 months old… and came into this world a bit early- and he spent a bit of time in the hospital since he was a preemie. but john, melissa and i kind of had to laugh because it would appear that his time spent in the hospital- helped them out because this little guy is an angel. sounds like the nurses at the hospital kind of got him into a great little routine of sleeping, feeding etc. don’t you just think spencer is adorable? i honestly fell in love with him – and i’m really not just saying that. i don’t know, he just had this little way about him that sucked me in. enjoy!

like i mentioned on my blog earlier today, i met up with kasie, hayley and mason. we took advantage of the sunshine and met down in kirkland on the waterfront so the kiddos could play around. within 5 minutes of being there- a bird crapped on kasie, mason spilled her latte, and 2 old men asked kasie if they could have their picture taken with hayley (um.. creepy)- which gave mason just enough time to run into the lake fully dressed. all we could do was just laugh at the craziness and try our best to fit in a conversation and just enjoy the day for what it was. thanks friend for meeting me. it has been too long!

spencer’s dad and i grew up together- we went to the same elementary, jr. high and highschool. he got ahold of me through facebook, and i’m so glad he did. i got to meet his little guy- spencer. and i’m even more excited because they bought a package from me which means i get to document spencer’s whole first year! more to come soon. very soon!

early this morning, i got my coffee and threw the hound in the jeep and we ventured not too far to play ball. i couldn’t resist the light streaming through the trees. the type of light, and light off of water is my favorite scenic lighting. usually landscapes/naturescapes don’t grab me in photography, don’t get me wrong- i think they are gorgeous when other people who know what they are doing, do them… but this morning- i couldn’t help myself. seeing this light this morning was a great way to start the day. not realizing that the field was like a septic drainage field… and having rebel jump into the jeep smelling like sewer…not so great. win some. lose some.

she arrived new year’s day with a full head of hair & she arrived so perfect. so cute. i met up with these three 15 days after zoe was born. she had just woken up from a nap and was sleepy, but then she quickly decided she was hungry. and boy, can she eat! it really is amazing to watch something so small figure out her surroundings. i was just kind of in awe of her and how alert she was. i’m constantly reminded of how insanely amazing life is. enjoy little zoe.
oh, and i knitted her that little pea pod dealy she’s wearing. not quite sure what i’d call it. it kind of was like a knitted sleeping bag. she really loved it! i was so happy to see a real baby in it. i tested it out with my old cabbage patch kid (which fit perfectly too!) i got the pattern off of etsy.. and knit it over new year’s at the whitsell’s cabin.

it was a house project weekend. the downside to living in a home built in the late 40’s is that it requires work. but the upside is i love work and projects and the extra charm a somewhat older house has. i however did not like the 70’s dated trim and doors. so far, we’ve changed all the baseboard and trim throughout the house- except fo the hallway. so this was the weekend of hallway love.
1. finally found a home for my anthro hardware (DIY buffet i redid a year or so ago) 2. old trim (yuck) 3. a snippet of the new trim, baseboard, black hardware and white doors 4. bennett’s twin- daniel came to help 5. it’s a twinnie shot! 6. i’ve been decluttering the house- and am in the throws of new pics for the fridge, which means new magnets 7. turquoise filler 8. sign above a closet door, just a reminder! 9. rebbie exhausted with the project 10. rebbie’s tail with paint on it 11. my living room looking like a yard sale (all the crap from the dining room is in the living room) 12. new ampersand sign for my picture wall found at a thrift shop

i can’t remember having such a lax weekend as i did this weekend. it was perfect. started friday night with sushi and a sleepover with my mom. on saturday i worked on a home project while bennett was in the office- and then we went to see a late showing of avatar. and sunday- i started the morning reading in bed(neffertiti) and then began the day with my latte and oatmeal. i could have called it day at that point because i do love me some oatmeal (old fashioned oats, not quick oats). i picked up my camera, only to document sunday. so these are tid bits of our day.
1. new orange pillow. 2. new mustard plates plus mac n cheese for bennett 3. sampling paint colors. 4. clean laundry to fold 5. wrapped gifts to send to some of my favorite little girls.
6. the end result of a craft project 7. the beginning of a craft project (making dog tags out of shrinky dink paper found on martha). 8. starting to think about valentine’s decorations
9. tucker came over to bark 10. more pics of a gift package to be mailed 11. bennett watching football 12. rebel’s round booty.

just a gorgeous pair. and easy to be around. nisha and i have been trading emails for the past couple months. she got in touch with me- after finding me ‘through a friend of a friend of a friend’s blog’. luke and her are having a little mister towards the end of february and am so glad we could get them right before their new life begins. i really thought nisha was gorgeous- and even more so once i realized she didn’t know just how much. shy at first, but luke was so comfortable. i loved that he eased her into things. thanks nisha- for choosing me! enjoy
nisha and luke were my first ‘taker’s to this door i saw in greenlake not too long ago. i fell in love with nisha’s ring (above picture) and her bright coat! so perfect with the door, no?
