Weekend

We were able to spend the weekend at my family's and attend a reception for a good friend of mine who had gotten married out of state. It was good to see her, and we had a great time visiting with my family! Raemi started saying "Pop Pop" which is what she calls my dad. And my dad watched her...

Day in the Life of Raemi!

weaning

Raemi seems to be weaning herself, or at least wanting to nurse a lot less than she used to. She generally still gets a pretty good breastmilk breakfast lunch and dinner as she nurses when she gets up, before her nap and before bed. She'll sometimes also nurse 1 time mid-evening and once or twice in...

my dad

I shared a memory about my dad in a recent newsletter for our extended family that was doing a tribute to him for his upcoming 50th Birthday and wanted to share it here as well. In reminiscing about my childhood I have so many wonderful memories of my dad, I could write a novel! Instead, though, I'm...

pursuing photography

So...for those of you who don't know, and were confused about the displeasure I expressed in my previous post, I am trying to become a photographer. I've only had a good camera for 3 months, but it's bringing me so much joy! First and foremost because of the images it allows me to capture of my sweet...

frustrated

I had a very frustrating photoshoot of Raemi today. I don't know what was wrong, but I could even feel while I was trying to get pics that none of them were turning out well. I couldn't get my lighting just right, it was either too dark or I was getting some blown out highlights. Plus I couldn't get...
