Speckles & Weeds cards. As seen on Apartment Therapy.


As promised, here are the pictures from June. Despite Haven’s face, she really does like the water!
With proof of the Elmo cake….

…and Cookie monster cupcakes (thanks Shanna for taking this picture!)….


I love this picture taken last weekend. Haven is smitten with her grandma and grandpa and I think the feeling is mutual. Plus, Haven is wearing a Big Nana (Matt’s mother’s grandmother) sweater in this picture. Big Nana, who lived to be 101, made baby sweaters in her spare time, often to give away. While I met Big Nana at her big birthday bash when she turned 100, she passed away several years ago. But, her memory still lives on.
I’ve been following this blog where a photographer chronicles his wife’s pregnancy with a picture and a caption for the week. Kudos to him for putting them together and a BIG kudos to his wife for being such a beautiful and cooperative pregnant woman, willing to have her picture taken each week. I would like to do something like this, if there is a next time. The only belly shots we managed to take while I was pregnant with Haven were the NIGHT before my water broke, believe it or not. Towards the end of my pregnancy I barely wanted to get dressed in the scorching August heat. Add a little Haven to the mix and I can imagine it would be next to impossible to make myself presentable once a week and at a time where Matt is around to take my picture.
