Sunday was Mother’s Day, and I try not to let myself get overly excited about holidays in general, because so often my husband is called to work, and we end up celebrating on a different day than what the calendar dictates. That might sound pessimistic, but in my 9 years as a pilot wife I have struggled to accept that fate and live in that reality. It is what it is. With all that said, I am excited to say that our whole family was able to celebrate together last weekend, and it felt really nice.
I also wanted to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all my Mommy readers out there. As a DFW newborn photographer, I have the great privilege of meeting lots of new (and veteran) mommies, so an extra special shout out to all my client Moms, hope you had a perfect day with your littles.
Okay, on to the show—Week 19 of my Project 365.
DFW Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 19
124/366: Anyone remember these—they’re Scholastic book order forms. I used to love picking out books and then receiving them weeks later at school. I am not sure how this system still exists with Amazon Prime around, but I guess they help the school fundraise, so I occasionally let Holden order from them. He always loves going through the leaflets and making a wishlist of books. He can spend 30 minutes doing this activity, so it’s pretty awesome for all involved.
125/366: A game of chicken.
126/366: More tales from the grocery store. This time, our weekly Aldi excursion.
127/366: My boy is 4 years old, so he still needs a little help from Daddy when it comes to Mother’s Day. They got me these flowers a few days in advance, trying to surprise me.
128/366: Searching for one of those daytime/nighttime kiddie alarm clocks so maybe Holden can be convinced to stay in his room later than 6am. Our search was futile. I ordered one through Amazon Prime, and of course it is backordered until who knows when, so I guess we are getting up at the crack of dawn for the foreseeable future.
129/366: Mother’s Day! There were donuts for breakfast, church and then hanging in the hot tub out back and having a small family crawfish boil for dinner. It was really nice to have some plans on the books that we were actually able to follow through with. A big thank you to my boy (and his daddy) for all the food and fun.
130/366: Someone was excited when UPS dropped off a package. I guess he thought it was for him?? He was a bit disappointed to find out it was only some clothes.
