May turned out to be a packed full month of daily life, huge adoption strides and some pre-summer fun and adventures! For starters, Rylie got a 2-night Papa date as they went to Georgia to pick-up some work supplies for my father-in-law’s business. Meanwhile, I pulled off a late night Emmaline date (she’s our night […]

letters to spencer || 1 year old
Spencer, You are such a joy, my son. You are hilariously silly and full of energy. Always curious, always moving and always getting into something. You are all kinds of busy and it’s fun and exhausting to manage. I knew having a little boy would be fun, but you have brought a whole new dynamic […]

a summer of polaroids

Sometimes it doesn’t happen (& that’s okay), but by the end of summer, most of our days have been captured through film. I wanted to invite you to join me if it’s something you’d find […]

spencer’s 1st birthday party || lord of the rings themed

“how are you doing with the adoption so far? no, really.”
I wanted to take a step back from all the fundraiser talk and chat about our heart behind this adoption journey so far. Not like, “reason why we’re doing it” heart but “how we’re doing.” Adoption isn’t just fundraisers and facts / updates, there is also a lot of emotions. Just like I shared in […]
