I’m sitting here still in my PJs at 1pm, it’s that kind of day. There is some light drizzle outside, and it’s very overcast. For August in Texas, this is on par with winning the lottery.
This DFW newborn photographer is also a little pooped because we hosted a little church gathering/pool party yesterday with about 25 folks. I chose a date in August for this party because it literally NEVER rains in August, and then a few days before our event the weather forecasters were predicting an August monsoon. 100% chances of rain Saturday and Sunday. I resisted my normal control-freak, type-A self and tried to take it one day at a time, clinging to hope that the weather man’s predictions would be unfounded…and then we ended up with the most beautiful, 90 degree day with a light breeze and fluffy clouds. Perfection!!
Needless to say, the husband has been called to work again so it’s just me and the boy at home to eat the copious amounts of leftovers. I see days of hamburgers, mac n’ cheese and cookies in my future. Maybe a little gym time too.
DFW Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 33
221/366: Yes, this is a photo of laundry. Keepin’ it real.
222/366: I’m a gold medalist in eating Blue Bell while watching others perform Olympic feats.
223/366: Vroom vroom.
224/366: The last day of “reading school” for my little guy. We started this journey about 5 months using a curriculum called, “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.” It has been a lot of work for mommy and daddy, and I am immensely proud of all that Holden has accomplished. This boy can straight up read at 4 years old, and I am so excited for him to go back to pre-K in the fall and show off his new skills. I know he loves reading and is really, really proud of himself too so that’s awesome.
225/366: Took my little to Krispy Kreme for the first time ever. This was a treat for completing his reading school. The donut machine was broken, and they had run out of ingredients to make plain, glazed donuts so I was miffed. However, to a four year old sprinkles are really the most important thing anyway so it all worked out.
226/366: Getting everything setup for little Benjamin’s newborn image reveal. It is always a fun day when I get to show off a final gallery.
227/366: Sent the pups to my dad’s house during our pool party. We went to pick them up later in the afternoon and here is Rufus reuniting with my husband.
228/366: When there is one raindrop in Texas, one must wear rain boots. Also, we had to make a pit stop at the manhole cover. My son is obsessed with sewers. Is this a boy thing?? When he rides his bike, he always makes sure to drive over the ‘sewer covers,’ and if he sees a manhole cover he likes to go investigate.
