For our birthdays, my brother and sister-in-law bought T$ and I tickets to the Notre Dame/Purdue game. This was my first time on campus and the best description I can give is that it’s very humble. I didn’t see much of campus, but what I did see was beautiful and consistent architecture that was not only true to the history of the campus, but very non-intrusive (can you tell I’m married to an architect?). You could walk campus and not feel overwhelmed by brick and mortar or be distracted by different styles of buildings- instead you felt the history and the tradition around you.

On August 26th we welcomed a new addition into T$’s side of the family. The entire day was filled with mixed emotions, seeing as how the last time we were all in this same hospital, we were mourning the loss of the girls’ brother. My sister in law asked me to take some photos of her two girls meeting for the first time, so of course I couldn’t say no.

For me, it was nice to observe not only Little Miss and her response to the newest little addition (Mommy, she’s so coot!)– and then her immediate disinterest for all things baby and complete focus on the toys MiMi brought for her and the balloon she bought herself in the gift shop– but to breathe a sigh of relief that this little girl came out healthy, plump and according to the doctor, given “two thumbs up.” The notion that one sibling was physically missing wasn’t lost on anyone, but we’ve always taken comfort in knowing that the girls’ brother will watch over them from above.

So… welcome to the family, little girl… we’re so happy you’re finally here.

Hey, WEDDING VENDORS… are you going?!

If I do say so myself, the main players of this event have done an AMAZING job of pulling it all together and I’m so excited to be a part of it all.

Hope to see you there!

I promise I’m not abandoning this space! I have at least 4 posts in the queue ready to go– I’m just waiting on some photos from photographers and the thumbs up to post from another. In the meantime, I’m taking this downtime (I guess that’s what you can call it even though it’s really the calm before the storm) to get my blog up to snuff, pull together more ideas for my planner packet going out at the end of the fall, work on a little side project to hit the wedding scene in a few months and get my new studio in order. Never a dull moment, but it has been nice to have a little extra time right about now since we’ve just moved.

So, thanks for being patient! I promise lovely images are coming to this space VERY soon.
