just a few moments







We've been out and about lately, but this week I am hunkering down on my housework.  I have lots to do before we head off on an airplane to Mexico, and even more on my mind as I'm beginning to plan the little details of it all.  A portfolio site is still in the works as far as my photography, we've purchased the last of the odds-and-ends we need to wrap up these house projects (and nearly took home everything from IKEA in the process), and I'm beginning to sketch out the plans for our garden this year.  There have been more "poop in the bathtub" incidents, continuously falling snow, pants that come off the minute I'm home from work, two-year birthday parties, and some photo booth portraits that have happily graced our presence.  I love this life.

What have you been up to lately?

      No you didn't miss anything, don't worry! It's the first I've spoken of it, but I'm shooting an international wedding and Erick is lucky enough to come with. We're making a very short trip out of it... I guess this is our "babymoon" ? ? ! !

    Poop in the bathtub = one of my least favorite things in this world. Thankfully we haven't had one of those incidents in a long time! Haha!

    Have a great time in Mexico - sounds like a lovely place to be right about now.

    Took everything home from IKEA?! Now what am I going to buy? ; )

    I'm so jealous. I can't wait to have our own place to furnish.

    Pants AND bra off the minute I walk in the door. Actually, if it were socially acceptable to just be naked *all* of the time, I'm at the point where I'd probably consider it.

    Mexico should be a lovely break from this sudden Chicago winter! Enjoy!

    Ah! Mexico- congratulations you guys! Enjoy the trip and your break from poopy bathtubs. We all need a break from that sometimes. Life is so busy and crazy right now.. isn't it supposed to slow down after the holidays?! xo

    Hi! I just came across your cute little corner of this big blog world! I get so excited when I see other blog mamas who are from Chicago because it seems like there aren't many of us. I currently reside in La Grange Park! I also just started a blog documenting my life as a SAHM. I already love your blog and I would love if you would check out mine as well!

    xo,

    Haha! I've never gotten poop in the bathtub (knock on wood!)! I love your photography and how you capture glimpses of your family together. My husband works a full time day job so we don't get as much time to spend on outings but it's nice when we do to try and capture the moments. Very inspiring to do so. Good luck in all of your endeavors and on your new little one!

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples.  Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester.  (WE SO EXCITED!)  It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago.  Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;)  I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future.  What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview.  I hope you all enjoy it.  It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is.  It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words.  If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something.  I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
