Big Girl Slide!


I know I am so behind with the blog - but I think I have a few excuses!! :) I can't believe this pregnancy is coming to a close and that Sunday is baby's due date! Amazingly, everything seems to be coming together and most of the lengthy 'to do' list has been accomplished. One of the big things I wanted to do was purchase a DSLR camera, and we finally did that about a week ago. I have to say, I have been SO pleased. I also bought a 35 mm portrait lens which should be perfect for photographing the new baby when he arrives! These are some pics of Bowen I took last week when she decided to get real brave and climb up to the big girl slide! It was definitely both challenging and nerve wracking for me - being alone, 39 weeks pregnant and having her so high up, but I got so many good pictures - this is just a sampling!! She was adorable and had SO much fun - did the climb and the slide about 20 times before deciding to move on! She is at such a fun age and as you can see - now donning a ponytail as well which is a story in itself. We do "1, 2, 3 - PONYTAIL!" in order to gain the patience to sit still long enough for Momma to get the ponytail holder in the hair!! She's started counting and really likes to say 'two'. We can't wait to see Bowen as a big sister - she has grown into such a big girl lately. I really need to sit down and document all the new & fun things she's doing lately, but I think I might just be lucky to get a few more blog posts and pictures in before the sweet baby boy's arrival steals the show for a bit! I'm definitely ready for him to be here and the prospect of a potential 2 more weeks of waiting is pretty daunting. Oh well, he'll come when he's ready and we will just eagerly await the moment! Thanks to all of you who have reached out with emails, phone calls and texts. Our email announcement list is ready to go, so look out for word from us!

Love to all - Jess & crew xo
