ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Well, somehow we’ve arrived on the eve of our sweet boy’s FOURTH birthday! I can’t even believe it.I look at these photos I took of him this week and I no longer see a baby or a toddler – but a little boy. And these photos are just proof of the things we’ve been noticing...
I have always made fun of the people who were crazily running to the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving (*gulp* maybe the morning of Thanksgiving?)I have always been a “prepared” person. I’m the quintessential “Type A”: I make lists, I check them twice, I’m (typically) very organized – generally speaking, things do not “catch...
Every year, for the kid’s “half-birthdays”, I take them out & do some fun (typically “themed”) portraits of them. With Braelynn being born in January & Leander born in December, I knew that we would never be able to do “fun”, warm & glowy, outdoor “birthday” portraits – so I have simply compromised with “half-birthday”...

So, this post is a little early.Derrick’s birthday is this weekend, but since I only publish blog posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays – here we are.Besides, we will be off celebrating Derrick’s birthday this weekend (and into next week) in the only proper fashion for a roller coaster enthusiast: we’ll be off riding roller coasters!...

[…] TODAY is Leander’s 4th birthday! (Cue all the emotions.)I can hardly believe that our sweet boy is FOUR YEARS OLD.Part of me looks at him and still sees my tiny baby boy, but mostly I just look at him in awe of how big he’s getting, how smart he is, and how mature he’s growing.We’ve been celebrating him all week long. Last Sunday night, we hosted a big party in his honor (it was “shark” themed – per his request). We had so much fun and he absolutely loved every moment of being the center of attention!On Wednesday, we went to visit my Meme & Grandpa (who weren’t able to make it to the party) so they could see him for his birthday and give him his birthday gift. As much as he loved opening more presents, he was more interested in playing with their extensive lego collection and munching on candy (which is what Great-Grandparents are best at, handing out candy, right?)Yesterday, we visited my other Grandma so she could give him his gift. We had a lunch picnic in her living room, and once again, as happy as he was to open more presents, he truly just wanted to play with her flashlight to search around her house for “treasure”.Today will bring MORE presents (after all, you only turn 4 once!) I saved a few gifts from his party for him to open today and Braelynn has a slew of gifts she’s created (and one she bought) for her brother.For his birthday, Leander requested donuts, watermelon, and hot dogs. So, I got him donuts and hot dogs (no watermelon though – he’ll have to settle for grapes and strawberries). We plan on feasting and celebrating all day long!(If you missed it, I wrote a post full of updates and photos for his “birthday eve” yesterday!) […]
