moments in july




Hello, dear friends in blog land.  How are you?  We've been quietly enjoying each other's company and taking it slow and easy.  I recently returned to work, so all of my days off have been divided between editing photos, freelance work, or caring for these two delicious bundles of mine.

(I'm happiest when it's the latter).

My journal has been getting more and more attention lately, it seems my mind is busy with things and plans I've made but just simply haven't had the time to act out yet.  I believe it helps to write it all down, especially when time is scarce.  I know that eventually I will get a break in the action to start acting on the projects and columns and yoga and healthiness that have all been slipping between my fingers.  I'm smiling because I know there's just not time in the day for everything and I'm slowly learning to just ahhhh - breathe - accept it.   Not an easy thing for me to do!

How have your summer/winter months been going?

What's been on your to-do list?

    Returning to work is sooooo hard. I am starting back to work full time on Monday after two months home with my 9 month old. I am dreading that same feeling like there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the fun projects and things you want to accomplish. In all things mommyhood I feel like there are lessons in breathing and taking it in. Good reminder.

      Maternity leave never seems long enough - hoping your full time transition goes smoothly.

    I love the photograph where your little ones toes are peeking out-so incredibly perfect!

    We are in the heat of summer here in Texas. There's no way to hide from that sun! Even at the pool it's terribly hot so we hide away indoors as if it's winter.

    Hello lovely lady. That smile is so sweet, all gummy and twinkly eyed.

    My to-do list is mental too. It must be that time of year or something. 'Half way through! Must. finish. projects. now!'
    Onwards! My mind shouts. Cheers to taking it easier. x

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.
