Jennifer Loomis Photography

Before we had Graciana we had pictures done with Jennifer Loomis a local Seattle photographer (she also has studios in New York and San Franciso) at 36 weeks pregnant. I knew when I got pregnant that I wanted to get pregnancy photos done. So I did a little research and found her. I had also seen her on "The Early Show". The pregnancy photos turned out beautiful (if you want to see them you'll have to come and visit). She made me love my pregnant body and actually made me miss it after I got the pictures back. Her work is amazing. We haven't gotten our picture order yet but I have some of the proofs hanging up in the house already and everyone that has stopped by has loved them. So before we headed back to Nome we had one more photo shoot with Ms. Loomis. Graciana is 8 weeks old in the pictures.
If you are pregnant or know of someone that is share her website with them.
Not only do I love the pictures...Cam loves them as well!

2 Months Old!

Graciana turned 2 months old yesterday and we had her 2 month appointment. Our little chunky monkey is a very healthy little girl. She is 11.08lbs and 21.75" long. She is changing every day - being more alert in the mornings, sleeping longer at night, recognizing mommy and daddy's voice. We are headed back to Nome tomorrow and can't wait to introduce her to her Nome family.

We started the New Year off with ...

Getting ready...
Getting her bum ready with vaseline...
putting the first piece of plaster on...
waiting for it to dry and she wiggled out...
the finished project!

Happy New Year!


2009 is behind us and 2010 is here! For our family it was a great past year...we moved into our new house, had steady incomes, took a couple of vacations and the best was the birth of our daughter. She'll be 2 months tomorrow and if the last 2 months of 2009 are a sign of what 2010 has in store for us....we are definitely excited!

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!
May you live life to the fullest, laugh often and surround yourself in love!
