We’ve officially known our little one is a girl for a full week now, and it’s been surreal. Aaron and I have LOVED looking at girl things, and dreaming about what we want for our daughter – both material and emotional. Rylie is so loved already, it’s amazing. We melt every time we get to […]

swan covered bridge
Yesterday, both Aaron & Rick had the day off of work, so the married Shavers decided to go on a little day excursion to a swimming hole to try and cope with the heat. We ended up at this place called Swan Covered Bridge. It was a nice little creek that had some deep spots […]
some assembly required
We have less then 5 months before Miss Rylie makes her appearance into the world. Wow. Talk about crazy! As anxious and excited as we are, there is plenty to get done before she arrives. Last Thursday, Aaron and I did some baby shopping and put all the thoughtful gift cards we received from our […]
bump update :: week 19
Week 19 Symptoms :: I had a hard time eating this week for some reason. I didn’t get hungry very often and when I did, I didn’t eat much. Honestly though, I think it was nerves for our Dr. appointment Wednesday (since that’s when we found out what gender the baby was). I feel like I was […]
it’s a…..
Yesterday, Aaron & I had our anatomy appointment at the Dr. office. This appointment is when they do a more thorough ultra-sound and measure the baby’s body. It’s also the appointment when they can tell us what gender the baby is. 😀 We walked in and immediately the nurses asked us if we were going […]

bump update :: week 18
Week 18 Symptoms :: I am pretty much in a constant state of thirst, so I have to make sure I’m drinking a bunch of water. Consequently, I have to go to the bathroom more often.

katara & alex
This past weekend, Aaron prompted me to pick up my camera and just shoot. Practice. Get better. Grow. So, Sunday evening, I grabbed my water bottle and my Canon Rebel T6i (my favorite camera that I own) and took a walk. We live on a bit of property, so as I set off on my […]
