so last night i was thinking and thinking…
about what i should blog about. i asked my twitter friends and they gave me some great ideas.
my friend jenni told me i should blog my favorite memories from 2009.
there are some biggies that come right to mind, but to be honest, i have a horrible memory. that’s why i scrapbook. ha!
so i thought instead i’d do favorite photos of 2009.
i thought it’d be simple, but i started looking and found so many photos that are near and dear to my heart, photos that touch me. make me want to cry, or laugh, or say “i can’t BELIEVE she used to be so little!!!!’. so i chose a few from each month.
and, incidentally, i found many many photos that i need to scrapbook. i’ve forgotten about so many special photos that are tucked away in iPhoto!!
so, here we go. and thanks, jenni, for the idea!!!
January:
oh, this one just slays me. she’s so beautiful when she sleeps. i loved that she had ballerinas on her pajamas, and that she was sleeping with her hand like that. lovely.
this is just SO harper. i had just taken her out of the bath, and the light in our bathroom was so wonderful. i loved snapping their photos in that bathroom!
February:
sadie bug turned one this month. she was ALL over the place and wearing me out. love the look on her face here.
i can still remember the way it felt when he walked through those doors. sadie was not having it, hence the stink eye. even though i’m on the verge of the ugly cry here, i love it. i love the way J is looking at sadie.
March:
sadie has grown to look so much like j…those squinty eyes. my favorite. 😉 i remember that i was so happy to watch sadie getting to know her daddy.
that’s my girl. playing soccer in her fairy dress. 😉 this was just a lucky shot. so glad i captured it.
oh man, those eyes. big trouble. and i can’t say no. another bathroom photo shoot. 😉
April:
my alltime favorite photo of the three of us. this sums up our year together so perfectly. thanks, kelly. (p.s., meeting you was one of my favorite memories of the year, hands down).
oh, i’ll miss those texas bluebonnets! not the best photo, technically, but i love that joy on her face.
my old timey girl. photo shoot at my parents house.
May:
i loved these photos from Zilker park. they look like woodland creatures.
beautiful colors.
our trip to DC. i was so proud of him that weekend. well, i’m always proud, but i thought my heart would burst that weekend. 😉
june:
sadie in that bikini? toooo cute. they LOVED bubbles that summer!!!
harper’s very first ballet recital. she shines, that girl. 😉
so…there you have it!! my favorite photos from the first six months of 2009.
love this idea.
i’ll be back tomorrow with the next six months.
i hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
xoxo
