A whole lot of love & adjusting
Alright, I must say the girls have been delightful and very helpful, sometimes wanting to help too much. Anyone relate? Yesterday I tried to take Bennett from Seb, so that I could feed him and she clentched on him like he was a toy that she wouldn't give up. The more I tried to take him the harder she'd squeeze! I got a little to the end of my rope with her (for other reasons as well). She ended up outside on the swing. When I found her out here to apologize, I felt so much emotion come over me. What was going on in her mind? How is she really feeling about a whole new life coming into our home? Are we giving her enough attention and love still? Her innocent little mind seemed so frazzled.
Tomorrow we're having a Thanksgiving Feast at her Preschool. I'm going without my other 2. Just me, there to see her and be with her. I must say, being a parent is the best thing in the world....and a struggle at some moments.
I am so grateful I am able to save some of the feelings and emotions with my camera. Even if they are shoved in folders on my computer, I'm grateful to have them.
ps. We're going to have a "raking leaves party" in our lovely yard - in a week or 2. We have six gigantic trees that have let maybe 1/3 of their leaves fall so far. I think they're over 100 yrs old, those honkers. It'll make for some fun piles to jump in.

our baby boy
Bennett Ronald Davies
October 20th, 9:37pm
7lbs 12oz, 19.5 inches
After a couple of weeks thinking "he was coming" and him tricking with lots of false labor....he proved that each pregnancy is so different and they come when they're supposed to :) He decided to really come Thursday evening, what a beautiful moment. We are all soaking in every second of this new little life.

the start of fall
On my way home from doing pictures tonight I stopped at this tree that popped out, with very few leaves changing. I quite like that lonesome leaf there. We're headed to Midway this weekend and I hope to get lots more (that is if I make it that far. Went to the doc - dialated to almost a 4 now, and 80% effaced.whewy! We were really hoping to make it to October. hhmmm) The family tonight kept thinking they were going to put me into labor. How would that've been? hah ;)
Fall is in the air baby! I'm remembering what I missed so much about living here. There's a certain crispness in the air.
Yesterday I made apple pancakes for dinner, the windows and doors all open and our fall spice candle burning. Nothing beats those aroma's.
Hope you have peace in your "change of the season" days ahead

I'm feeling it
See the ones Brienne posted here : azurebphotography
I'll throw these few of the many that my cousin in law took of me. She is an amazing photographer, and I'm so glad her and I are friends and get to talk photography and other things lots. She is awesome. I will post more when I have more time
It's feeling like this pregnancy is winding down now :) There's a whole list of things this time around that I swear I didn't have with carrying my girls. Maybe it's because it's the 3rd time? Don't know, but one that makes me laugh - my husband has had to stop me from full on snoring the last few nights. Like an old woman has to plug her old man's nose when he won't be quiet. It's that loud. Embarrasing. I'm trying to not have my mind set that I will go early, in case I don't (guessing I will because both my girls came early). We'll see!
My last shoots before my break will be next week. I'm sorry. I haven't planned to schedule any after that.
I wish I could let you all know when I'll be "back in business" after he comes and we all get in a groove around here. Probably not until the beginning of the year, if that? I just don't want to regret not enjoying every minute of the time with him, plus I may just be a head case for awhile. Sohoooo with that being said, feel free to contact me if you need something specific, BUT until then it'll just be up-dates here and there from us.
Maternity leave October 3rd - mid January

Romney sisters
I was really excited when their mom explained what she wanted to get out of this session. I hope I caught them in this stage of their lives - the care and love these 2 sisters have for eachother, very sweet and tender. 
Alright, Biff's going to kill me for putting these up, I had to. Look how beautiful. We had to force her in these, hopefully she'll thank me later :)

Back to school
Finally! My kids have been counting down the days. Yesterday was the big one for both of them. Ava's first day of kindergarten, and Seb's in a pre-school here in the neighborhood.
Monday, Ava came in a few times in the night saying she couldn't sleep and was really scared to go. She said "mom, what if there's tons and tons of people?" There's 21 in her class, and I'm sure it did seem like lots to her. Bless her heart (she doesn't have a clue what's ahead in life). Ended up doing so great though. It was given by her expressions that she was still nervous underneath all the excitement.
