Warning! Very random post ahead. Just needing to update what we are up to this summer for my own memories. Thanks for reading. 😉 I am LOVING this summer. LOVING it. Having the kids and Collin at home all day long…I’d forgotten how great that really is. Mak and CB are rapidly going between periods...
I love this kid! Check out that personality…you can see it written all over his face! Baby Rutledge started his life out super squeezable and cute…and it’s only gotten better! And that fuzzy hair!!! LOVE!!! Oh, and the tie? Please, how can you not adore a baby who can rock a tie and diaper. It’s...
WOW. Can you get over how Senior portraits have changed? I personally have the oh-so-fabulous black drape 8×10 portrait. And the “gazing back over my shoulder” 5×7. Ah…the loveliness of those. All I’ve gotta say is that times have changed. Senior portraits these days are works of art. And instead of a random 8×10 or...
AHHHH, I LOVE this kid!! I am SO Blessed to have such a CUTIE PIE for a neighbor. And I’m pretty sure he’d do very well in the competition for World’s Happiest Baby if there were such a thing. He was just full of smiles and laughs. And those eyes! Gorgeous!! We love you, Coop!...
I made it to the wedding!! I was so scared that I wasn’t going to be able to join Collin and our wonderful assistant, Amy, at the wedding of Chasity and Josh. And I SO wanted to see this beautiful bride on her wedding day. I love weddings and I love our brides. We go...
I’m sooo glad that ya’ll were their photographers! The pictures were great! Pack and I had to miss their wedding (due to the fact that were in house limbo in Richmond), but I got to feel a little like we were there from looking at these pictures. I love Chasity too…she really is so sweet, and Josh and I grew up together at our church, Elim. The pictures are great. Congratulations Chasity and Josh!ReplyCancel
Oh my, I have some travel advice. Check everything you can. Unless your kids are unlike mine and WILL actually help you carry stuff without whining. I had the ability to wash stuff, too, so I set a limit: five outfits for the big two + me, ten for the baby. I’m glad I did. I was able to fit everything I needed into one big duffel. You have the added benefit of NOT having to take diapers.
Take lots of candy. Who cares about their teeth and sugar intake, they’re gonna be wired anyways. Dum Dums saved my sanity on the last flight.
Pack one extra outfit for all in your carry on. I was without my bags for two days thanks to cancelled flights.
My only other bit of advice after watching them drop my bag 8 feet from the back of the plane, don’t check anything you don’t want broken.
Happy Travels!
Oh and I love love love the drippy chin shots. Too cute!
