I made Dean some green apples, sweet potatoes & peas. Here is the before and after photos. He seemed to love the new homemade grub!

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon,

Samantha & Dean

Hello!

I am just in love with these photos of my friend and her family! I love the colors and the painted brick background! Check out these other links to see their past photo sessions, here and here !

Personal Project: It’s the small things

Good morning!

Happy heart day to you all. I think the importance of the day is all out of whack and has been for awhile. You celebrate the hallmark holiday all you like but this day to me is about loving and appreciating those in your life. Whether it be a husband/wife or just your awesome family and friends. I think taking a day to appreciate the small yet significant parts of your life that are truly blessed is more productive than making a huge production out of Valentine’s day.

Below are photos of the Orchid my husband bought me upon returning from my trip last week. Maybe it will become tradition as I received a Orchid last Vday as well. Those that know me, know that my Mom has always said give flowers on other days besides Valentine’s day because its more unexpected not to mention less expensive! Mike has truly embraced that concept and surprises me with flowers throughout the year! I love the Orchid because it will last much longer than a bouquet of flowers anyhow! And they are just so great to photograph! We are going to have our 2nd annual fondue extravaganza at our house and with our baby boy (his first heart day!) Very excited!

So enjoy the beauty in your life on this lovely heart day!

XOXO, Samantha & family

Sidenote: my father’s name is Valentine. Happy Valentine’s, Valentine LOVE YOU!

I will send the rest of the photos soon, I just wanted you to have a preview before the husbands came back because I know you’ll be busy! They are many more gems in the bunch to look through. Thanks for letting me take these photos, it was a fun adventure…

Enjoy your Saturday,

Samantha

Dean made a new friend this last week while visiting my old friend from Fort Rucker and her baby boy (9 months old) in Tennessee. By the end of the 5 day trip we were as predicted into a routine of naps, feedings, play times, bath times and story times. Sometimes (most times) they played independently while the other sat close by however they seemed to appreciate the company. Except of course at the end of the night when patience was running thin and it was time for bed!

We really miss you two and we wish there wasn’t 600 miles between us (maybe someday). We also hope it’s not 2 + years before we see you again. Hopefully we can see you this Summer so the boys can continue getting to know each other. Thanks again A&T for the awesome visit. We really appreciated the time we spent and the sweet new friends we met. Enjoy the coming weeks as J comes home! Thinking of you and the family!

We also did a photo session while in TN and I will be posting a preview soon. They are just beautiful photos. I love them!

Enjoy your Friday & weekend, Samantha
