So, a little update on April – April was a big month for me. Usually, when I hit 20 minutes of running, I pretty much can’t breathe any more and stop. Not this month. I’ve more than doubled my running time and I just keep going.

Still not sure what happened but I love my 10k Trainer Pro Zen Labs app and using Spotify premium has really helped me. I enjoy running a lot more and every once in a while I have a day that I can’t breathe and want to stop. Yes, I’m still shocked. I’m not sure how far I want to run. For now, I’m just going to keep going.

Goals for May:

Make a Summer Bucket List

Take time to really enjoy family time/my birthday this month and finish planning all of our family birthday events for the next two months.

Journal More/Read another one of the books I got while at the beach.

Plan lots of fun 3rd birthday activities to make Owen’s 3rd birthday super special. Last year was so much fun and I can’t believe how much he’s grown in a year!

Continually work on cleaning out clutter/donating/getting rid of things that are just sitting in the house.

Keep running.

Print, share, and display our family photos. (yay!)

If I had to pick one word for this session, it would definitely be FUN. This family session is Raleigh was just that – running and jumping, and even a surprise gift. His grandparents traveled a lonnnnng way to see him so we had to capture some memories for all of them. This little guy’s mama is just so kind and funny – when you first meet her, you instantly want to be friends. She seriously doesn’t stop making you laugh. The whole family is athletic so of couse they brought footballs, baseballs, and soccer balls. I definitely spent a lot of this session running around and avoiding getting hit in the head. We were lucky with the weather – it was just beautiful, sunny, warm, and really just perfect.

Wow. I LOVE newborn sessions at home. A lot of the stress of having to get ready to go somewhere is taken out of the session, the little ones eat when they need to, and they are so happy in their environment. This little one was just 4 weeks old and he slept a little bit but was mostly bright eyed and alert for his family portraits in Raleigh. We were able to capture some of the sweetest moments of him with his family. And his big brother – just wow. (okay. I am saying wow alot, but really, this session was just so sweet) Everytime I tried to take a portrait of mr. man by himself, big brother just had to kiss him and be right next to him. ADORABLE. There are so many sweet photos of them together and I know they are going to be best buddies. Alex absolutely loves his little brother and had to be next to him every second. We took family portraits inside first and then headed outside to catch the last few minutes of my favorite light – sunset. It was a gorgeous evening and such a sweet newborn session.

I really love right now – everything is magical to him. When it’s cloudy, Mr. Sun is sleeping. When we told him he might have a tummy bug, he wanted to know where the spider was in his belly. It’s just so fun to watch him explore and learn. He loves playing in the sandbox, building forts, reading books,playing with cars and trucks, and dressing up as super heroes. The other night we were headed to 18 Seaboard (the food is AMAZING) for dinner and he REALLY wanted to wear his cape. Owen’s reason, “But I have to save the day.” He absolutely loves his cape and wants to wear it everywhere. (He has a whole collection from Neverland Nook)

I love capturing his personality at each age. He loves playing with his buddies in the afternoons – all of them are just too cute on their scooters.

So on one of our afternoons out and about in the neighborhood last week, he discovered the ice cream truck. Yes, he was way excited about this new discovery – absolutely adorable. Now, as he rides his scooter to save the day in the afternoons, he is always carefully listening for that magic truck.

Looking forward to more adventures with this little man. Love him so so much! Oh, and his super cute shirt – from my fave, ALM Designs.
