a day with Emmett

We had quite a few errands to run today and I happened to leave the house with the big camera. How sad that I too have been taking advantage of the convenience of cell phone photos. It’s time that I get back to my old ways and take my camera with me more often. There are not enough photos of my wee ones, just doing the things they do on a daily basis. So today I followed Emmett around with the camera, which kept him very entertained while running errands.

Good Morning Beauty-Boy

While waiting for an oil change on our car, we hung out at Starbucks

where he got to have a “dooo-nut”

“Only one donut is so not cool. I could really punch you right now! ” (I’m sure that’s what he’s thinking)

then back to picking up our car. This one is not ours, but it was pretty darn cool!

Little stop at the store. Rarely do I get to leave here without buying a new Monster Truck. Today we added Superman to our collection.

Lunchtime! We stopped at Ikea to pick up a couple new containers.

And shortly after lunch is when we can expect the first meltdown

followed by crashing in the car

there is my happy smile again! The child that lives off of bread and pasta…

But at least he flushes it all down with a green juice!

mhhh too much kale…

time to introduce the Superman to his Monster Truck brothers

It’s almost bed time. He is not the biggest fan of the potty just yet, but we will eventually get there!

Babybell’s Village – an adoption story

This may get a bit emotional for me, I’m already crying and I have not even added any photographs yet….

I have been very blessed to be able to document this story! My sweet friend Becca is expecting a little baby girl and her due date is coming up soon. Becca is going to have an open adoption. I am incredibly proud of her for making this very hard decision. Obviously I won’t go into the details about the why’s and how’s; all I am going to say is that this decision was not easy for her. Recently, my friend Amber and I, threw a maternity shower for Becca. We got together to celebrate her baby bump, to celebrate this new life and the village that this baby is going to have! So many people already love and care about Babybell. We have been calling the little one “Babybell”, or “cheese” for short.

I got to meet the adoptive mom at the maternity shower, who is probably one of the sweetest humans I have ever met. What a beautiful and emotional day! It gave me a little bit of an idea of what the days to come will be like. I am sure we will share even more laughter, even more tears and it will all bring us all closer as friends.

Becca is giving the most precious gift to this mother-to-be.  I am excited to document this story for Becca, the adoptive parents, and most important – for Babybell! These pictures will show her how much she is loved by everyone, her village cares about her and we will always be here for her <3

And last but not least – Becca posing with a cute crochet blop of body-fat

Courtney - Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting these. The adoptive mom is my very best friend and Becca and Babybell are the biggest blessings in her and her husband’s lives. These beautiful people fill the void that she has been waiting to fill for years. I had the opportunity to meet Becca at the baby shower and I was so impressed at what a dear human being she is. Babybell has so much love surrounding her.
