Jumping in the Panic Room

Oh.  My.  Gosh.  *MINI FREAKOUT!*  Hopefully this isn't borderline weird or something.  I just got super excited for a moment.  Kinda like that dog that pees all over you if you get her too worked up.

I won't pee though.  Maybe.

THE Marshall's, my favorite blog family in the entire universe whom I found (ever so gratefully) from my friend Abby , is my second follower.  Haha.  I feel like such a dumb person, like a scary Justin Bieber fan or something... but you guys don't know how big of a deal this is for me!  I'm sure other new moms or his other followers can relate.  Every day I feel like a broken record...

"BABE! Did you see that video of Tessa blowing bubbles in her MILK?!"
"BABE! Should I do my hair like this?  Cole makes it look effortless!"
"SEE?!  Ryan has a Merlin Steadicam too!"
"We definitely have to take HD videos of our baby when she's born"
"How did she stay so good looking through her pregnancy?  I feel like a whale!"

... etc.

This blog honestly has given me so much inspiration, hope, and honesty into what it's like to become a family and still pursue not only various creative arts but the art of staying yourself (and sane) through the parenthood journey.  Erick and I are currently expecting our first in June, so this blog has been such a holy grail of a find for me because it's unlike anything I've seen.  You listen to Ryan write, or see the bits and pieces he shares of his family and you instantly feel like you've known them forever.  It's kinda crazy.

So to everyone that has missed the opportunity to jump over to see Ryan's blog, Go.  Do it now.  It's life changing.  This guy is doing fantastic things not only through his photography, videos and writing but also with the album Do Fun Stuff and promoting awareness for Smith Magenis Syndrome through supporting PRISMS.  I'm telling you guys, the Marshalls are Crazy. Awesome. People.

Thanks for all of the photo inspiration,
style and hair tips from Cole,
introducing me to Camper shoes,
introducing me to the ClassicInsta app for my iPhone,
and sharing your family's journeys.

(I really could go on and on, so I'll just stop now.)

And if you haven't had enough, go check out the beautiful pictures over on Becka's blog where she actually sat down for dinner with them.

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

Hello, It's Me

* screeeeeeech.... opens door * Hello? Are you in there? I'm baaaaaaack! Holy shnikeys! It's only been a good two years or so. Talk about a blogging hiatus. So, after many many failed attempts at fancy Squarespace sites and having absolutely zero direction on which way I wanted to go, I found myself right back here. Good 'ol blogger. Good 'ol free simple template. Good 'ol feed with all my old friends. It's been a long, long time. And it feels weird! But I'm dusting off the cobwebs anyway and just writing because I need to. Plain and simple. Now, a few things-- the blog title is a bit different. My kiddos are nearly three and five years old so diapers [thankfully] are a thing of the past. Hallelujah! And if you haven't heard, folks, skinny jeans are out. They're done! Bring on the bellbottoms, culottes and 90's fashion revival. You heard it here first, everyone. Just wait.  Also. Growing up. I kinda laugh at how much...

alba growing: one month

A few weeks ago, Little Alba turned a month old - still so new and tiny, but a precious soul that seems like she's been here all along.  Her thighs are quickly chunking up, as are her cheeks, and this mama can't get enough! The days are long and my time is stretched thin, but we are having such a wonderful time just figuring each other out. When evening hits, the tummy troubles begin and we rock and sing to make the gas bubbles go away. Once you've finally fallen asleep, you'll remain that way for the remainder of the night and we'll feed again once the day breaks.  You are alert and learning, constantly filling our hearts with more love than we ever imagined.
