For Sale!

I am purging my photo closet - mostly because I need to make room for new stuff (oh goodie).

Let me know if you are interested!

Both are in great condition!

1. Sigma 17-70mm DC lens - $350

Perfect for any small sensor cameras, including Canon Rebels.

2. Sigma 30mm 1.4 - $350

I loved this lens. It was the first lens I bought for my first DSLR. It was perfectly paired with my Canon 40D. It's the perfect portrait lens.

Most Days...

Written by Shannon Leigh

Most days go FAST.

We wake up, we eat breakfast, we play, we laugh, we read books.

We nap, we change diapers, we do laundry, we snuggle.

We eat cheerios, we make messes.

I edit, answers emails, edit, process orders, edit - did i say edit?- every spare minute.

BUT - I ADORE staying home with my Ruby, I feel so darn lucky.

I'm not taking my "stay at home mom" status for granted- not in the least.

OK, so technically I'm more of a "work at home mom" but so far, the Lord has been extremely gracious and allowed me to do both.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be willing to give it up.

Some days I like to slow it down. We go on long leisurely walks to the post office, we lay in bed together while she touches my face, we sit on the back patio and watch Izzy run circles and laugh. She changes so fast and she won't do these things for much longer. I better soak them up while I can.

Most days Ruby does NOT wear a bow. When we are home she is in a onsie or sleeper most of the day. She's comfy, with no headband. We won't discuss my wardrobe.

That's why I adore these photos. She's not all dolled up, she isn't wearing a bow or a dress. This is the real Ruby. The one I get to spend my everyday with. Aren't I lucky?

We miss you, Daddy

Matt is away.

He's saving the world or saving someone lots of money, I'm not sure which.

Maybe both.

Ruby and I are having a girls week...

I'm finishing up lots of projects, editing my little heart out, and snuggling with my sweet- smelling baby.

Oh and I'm not cleaning AT ALL.

I'm enjoying the complete chaos/mess that I'm so good at creating.

Don't worry Matty, I'll have it cleaned up before you get home.

I always do.

These pictures are from our anniversary. We went to Cakes on Walnut to celebrate.

We ate tiramisu cupcakes.

It was divine.

Cheerios and Num Nums

Written by Shannon Leigh

A few weeks ago we started giving Ruby Cheerios and other easily solvable foods. I put them on her highchair tray and she goes crazy!

For the most part she grabs handfuls and tries to put her whole fist in her mouth. She's lucky if she gets one cheerio. Most of them end up in the seat of her highchair or on the floor. Izzy is grateful.

I noticed a couple of days ago that she is starting to pinch the pieces with her thumb and index finger but by the time they get to her mouth her hand is in a fist again. It's one of the cutest things EVER.

I can't believe my baby is eating food on her own. When did this happen?

For your viewing pleasure.
