This Morning

by Lindsay Ballard on April 19, 2011 69 Comments

This morning I go

to register my baby

for Kindergarten.

How did that happen? In a few weeks, he’ll take cap and gown pictures at his preschool and participate in a graduation ceremony.  And I will cry.  A lot.

Do you have any words of advice to get me through it? Other than bring plenty of tissues, of course.

Six Months (and a Few Weeks)

by Lindsay Ballard on March 8, 2011 80 Comments

Can you believe it?  My sweet Emma is 6 months (and 3 weeks) old.  I can’t believe we have passed the half a year mark already.  Where does the time go?  I hope I don’t blink or else she’ll be leaving for college tomorrow.  Time just flies when you are having fun with a sweet little chub-chub faced girl.

As you may have noticed from the new breath that’s been breathed into this blog, I finally feel like I have my act together as a mother of 2, wife, friend, and blogger.  Okay, so it might have required me to hire a housekeeper to help me out every few weeks, but if that little thing helped to get my life back in order, so be it.

I thought I’d share some images from Emmy’s 6 month photo session with my super talented friend, Kim De Araujo.  If you are in the Austin area, I simply can’t recommend her and LucaBebe Photography enough.  Her images are gorgeous, she’s great with kids (she has 3 little darlings of her own, including a daughter who is just 3 weeks younger than Emmy – her first “BFF”), and she’s just an amazing person.  You will love her.

So, here’s my little ham.  Some of you have been asking to see more pictures of her, so I hope this whets your whistle!

Couldn’t you just eat her up?  Nom, nom, nom indeed.
