1. this man. my dad. the man that helped give me life : ). through everything he has always been my dad. with his gentle strength and constant encouragement and understanding. hes a good one. and i am so very lucky to have him. im thankful that i get the privilege of being his little girl.
2. im going to try not to be too mushy on this one, because my brother reads my blog…HI RYAN! but i have gotten to watch my older brother who i am super close with and care very much for become a dad. its so crazy. lily loves him so very much and its easy to see why. hes a wonderful father, who gives his life to take care of his family. you’re a good dad bub. and i cant wait to get to experience parenthood alongside you, and for beach trips with you, karen, lily, ethan, me, brett, and penny! we’ve got a pretty awesome pocket of family growing between the two of us, and it makes me super excited about where life will lead us all next!
3. oh and then theres this guy. my husband. soon to be daddy, but pretty much already a great dad in my mind. i always joke that he is a special man to put up with the likes of me, but really. he is. through out everything i feel nothing but love from him. he is definitely a gift from jesus, and i cannot wait to watch him with our baby girl. i don’t think i could ever find the words to describe how lucky i feel to have him and how happy i am that he is the man i get to have a family with. you are loved mr. lemster…very much so.
i hope you all had a wonderful fathers day!
Little One,
Oh my goodness! There were some milestones this week. First things first…you are QUITE the little kicker! Your dad finally got let in on our little kick dates and he was able to feel you move around in there for the first time! We’re both so excited and so happy to share these little moments with each other. Its like our first taste of family time. All three of us hanging out together. You kicking and wiggling around and us smiling at how amazing you are. It is so amazing feeling you and knowing that you are a little person. It’s hard not to think ahead and think about what kind of sense of humor you’ll have, or what your favorite things will be. I can’t wait to find out who you are and to have the privilege of watching you grow. I already feel so incredibly blessed being able to take care of you and watch you grow from the outside. We Finally look like we’re doin something more than just enjoying a frequent breakfast burrito. My belly popped out and people are starting to notice that you are in there. Its super fun! I did however get a belly rub from someone and im not too sure how i feel about that sort of thing happening on the regular, but its so great to know that you are growing in there! We get to see you again in just a couple of weeks, and we CAN NOT wait to start calling you by name. I cant believe we’re almost half way there! You are doing so great in there and we love you SO very much. You are pretty rad little one.
XOXO,
M
Well Hello Little One,
We’re just a teeny tiny couple weeks away from being half way there. I can’t believe how fast the time is going, but at the same time we are so excited to meet you and it feels so far away. Your dad has his hand on my belly any chance he gets at the hopes of feeling you kick in there. I cant wait for him to be a part of all the little movements i share with you. Not much has really happened this week. We are getting our home all nice and cozy for you, so you have a safe homey place to rest your little head when you come. Me and your dad spend most of our time in our room lately, snuggled up in bed watching movies, eating dinner, and playing cards. We cant believe how fun it will be to have you there laughing and playing and snuggling along with us. We think you are going to enjoy the family we have built with just the two of us especially for you. Keep growing all sorts of strong in there. We love you lots and lots!
XOXO,
M
Made a little print for the little ones room 🙂
Nursery projects have begun!
Le hubs and I are super huge fans of hanging out at home and watching movies. We are pretty much pros at eating junk food and laying low. So we decided to have a little bit of an adventure on Saturday.
i grew up a beach baby. My family camped out at Doheny beach every year for spring break. in high school my friends and i were in san clemente every weekend, every morning in the summer, and every year those same friends and i with all of our husbands and wives and now children camp in san o.
Whenever I’m in that area I always feel at home. Time seems to slow down, stress gets the heck outta there and I’m light again.
so we decided to go on a little tour of all the places I grew up loving.
We started with lunch at the Harbor House Cafe. I had some monstrous chicken crispers and Brett ate a mountain of french toast.
then we made our way to salt creek for a little lounging and ocean to feet interaction.
Then we topped off the evening with some el torito on the harbor. Can I get an amen for fajitas! Amen!
It was a very successful day! Which totally ended with candy and movies at home 🙂
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!
…Katie.
I love my iphone and the fact that I always have a camera on me to catch memories in the making, but sometimes I do miss that big box of photos that I used to shuffle through by hand. Instead of the good ol shuffling through photos by the swipe of a finger. For mine and Bretts one year anniversary I decided to make a little photo book of all of my favorite photos living in my phone. This was an anniversary gift, but it could easily be used as a little valentine prezzie for your special someone.
One of the best things I’ve ever done is download the postal pix app!
If you havent heard of it, it is amazing! You can go through your photo library and pick which photos you would like to order, specify the size, the amount of each and then pay for them and order them directly from your phone. The quality is awesome and they get shipped to you in 3 days or so! Its super easy and an awesome way to get your favorite pics from your phone to your hands!
All you need for this project is:
Mine was a small book of 4×4’s, which is perfect for our little entry table. This was for our first year of marriage, but I’ll most likely do more as time passes. So make a little photo book, theme it up, give a gift to someone special! Its fun!
