Party On

Six weeks to go! I am so excited and getting much closer to feeling ready. We finished our table... And I only have 2 (ok, maybe 3)  one more project until Anias' room is done. Aimee's shower knocked it out for us! I'm fully anticipating being overwhelmed, sleep deprived, and unable to function like I would like- so I'm also Christmas shopping, getting Eli's year video ready, and keeping up with Anias' pregnancy book.

I've been wanting to photograph families at the Batey Farms sunflower field and I finally got to do it. It was an hour and a half in the heat, but that's what water bottles are for. It covered most of the expenses for Anias' baby pictures, which I'm doing myself. I wan...
