Oh you guys! These last couple of months have been so busy… 2014 truly has felt as though it’s been a sprint from start to (near) finish.
I feel like I used to document everything. Every. single. moment. And then I sort of took a good year off of carrying my camera around. And now I’m back 50% of the time with my big ole’ DSLR (new lens!) or even the iPhone in hand. I love and miss capturing so many little moments. Maybe one of the biggest benefits of social media? (Instagram, here’s looking at you).
We’ve spent our weekends: pulling our beat up sailboat ‘Madness’ out of a friend’s backyard storage and into the water (a favorite pre-kiddo past time), testing out Liv’s new bike (thanks, Grandpa), witnessing SC win one at home, taking sooo many trips to the park, ambling San Diego’s famous Balboa with visiting family, creating sock hands for singing fun with Mimi, finding the perfect Christmas tree. And a belly update for you! My girlfriend threw me and another friend the sweetest ‘drizzle’ for our 3rd babies. Delicious food, great company, lots of baby excitement. The whole morning was perfect.
Here’s to capturing MANY more of the special moments. How can you have a bad day when you get to look back on when your 18-month-old mopped the random store floor by dancing while lying on the ground? Or not break out in smiles when flipping through an entire album that your almost-4-year-old took on your phone of every one of her stuffies (how did I not catch that. We’re talking page after page after page of photos…). Perhaps more captured moments needs to be a resolution for 2015. Wait, is that in less than three weeks?
You take the BEST Instagram photos. And that picture with you and Taylor just melts my heart! She’s gotten so big! Though you may feel as though you haven’t been documenting much, this space still feels like it’s been vibrant and busy with lots of goings-on. Glad to see a baby bump picture, and it looks like you’ve been having a blast. That’s the most important part.
Thanks, Leslie! That’s really nice to hear because I feel like I’m the worst with social media. I’m Instagram happy for a couple of days and then don’t post a single photo for weeks :/. A round up is a great reminder that we’ve been busier than it seems!
These are some lovely photos. I used to feel that I was good about documenting everything through photos but ever since we welcomed our second child I feel more engaged in moments (or maybe I just have my hands full) and less in a position to spectate through the lens of a camera. I try my best though (and I’m one of the few without a camera phone on hand at all times). Oh, and “drizzle,” that is too cute for words!
I miss madness! Love you guys!
All of the photos are absolutely adorable Morgan! This year really has flown by, right?!! So exciting that drizzle baby is almost here! ;)
Not sure if I’m on the late train but love the new design
such great pictures! :) And I love the idea of a “drizzle,” so thoughtful and sentimental. My brother just announced that they’re expecting their 2nd child and I think a nice lunch with family to help them update what they’ll need would be perfect… and a full blown shower would be way too much.
We thought the same – so wonderful to celebrate each coming baby with all of our friends but didn’t need to go over-the-top and all out. We’ve been calling baby #1 a ‘shower’, baby #2 a ‘sprinkle’ and baby #3 a ‘drizzle’. :-)
love these pictures!!! And you look absolutely adorable with your baby bump. What lens did you get?? Even though I pretty much replaced my DSLR with a smaller camera I still like to take it out … And was thinking about getting a zoom lens :)
I actually just bought a prime (24mm) and it’s fantastic. I thought I would miss my zoom toooo much but surprisingly the 24 is now the lens I keep on my camera all of the time!
