phamily photos

so, back in october we had our first official family photos taken. 

that does it, i am a real mom. with real family photos. sometimes i still need a moment to digest this... and maybe a paper bag to breath into.

every now and then, some little thing like family photos, babiesRus coupons, and mysterious slimy crap on every single shirt i own, comes crashing in and brings a little reality check, that i really do have a baby. and life really has changed that much.

this weekend has been a major reality check. hahahaha...

ok, back to the family pictures... i had this whole vision of our family picture being taken out in the woods of beautiful washington. but, the thing is...in seattle, it rains. it rains a lot. and the rainy season starts in october. (when we had our photos scheduled) so of course, the morning of our shoot, it was pouring, dark, and windy. these 3 elements do not make for good photos, especially with a 7 month old baby. so, luckily our photographer was able to make it work in her dining room! she had a good white wood back ground, and i think, all things considered, the pictures turned out alright!

did i mention that miles was totally grumpy the whole time and would hardly crack a smile? or that i was car sick and threw up? or that a stitch in the front of my dress popped open when i got out of the car so my boobs were falling out a little? it was a pretty magical afternoon... but the results aren't bad!
