Mommy & Me

For Mother's Day this year, I gave myself the gift of some Mommy & Me pictures with my best bud. 
Katie and I constantly disagree about photo shoots, because she thinks Fox hates them and while I don't think he loves them, he also doesn't have a problem with them and it really only takes ten minutes, so I feel like it's not too much to handle. 

So when I told her about the pictures I had scheduled and she wasn't a fan of my plan, she asked Fox if he likes taking pictures with Samantha or rather not do it. And you know what he said? He likes it...haha!
We walked into her studio and she was upstairs and Fox was complaining about not wanting to take any pictures and he wants to go home. Go figure. The photographer came downstairs and asked "Who is ready for pictures?" and he excitedly yelled "Meeeee!" That kid! 



So when I look at these pictures, I see two things. My first instinct was to cringe about all the imperfections I see about myself in these pictures. And then I realized that it shouldn't matter, because we all age, but more importantly because the way Fox looks at me, there are no such things as imperfections and it's just pure love. 


He was really hamming it up for the camera.



I will always treasure these pictures with my first born, taken just a few months before his world would change forever. Imperfections or not.

    Imperfections?! The first thing I thought when I saw these was, yup - she's glowing! They're the sweetest pictures and you'll be so happy you had them taken when Fox is all grown up!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
