I’m still feeling the crash after a sugar high following Milly’s first birthday party yesterday. It was so much fun – the best bubbly birthday bash ever. There were ponies, a moon walk/bounce house, bubbles for babies, bubble for adults, balloons galore and the best cake EVER – made by Monica. I am going to share a post tomorrow with all of the photos, but am sneak peaking a few below.

The week was busy with senior photos, event photos, newborn photos, and a class field trip for Isla at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We made final decisions for the house, and I received a few of our rugs in the mail. It’s starting to feel real! We saw all 3 sets of grandparents, had dinner with Karine and Ivana, and saw many of our friends we hadn’t seen in ages – at the Boxwood Breakfast Brunch and at Milly’s party. It’s always fun catching up with old and new friends.

Sasha, Emilia, Isla and I went to our favorite veggie burger spot in the city – The Counter, then Isla ate ice cream after a Cloud 10 Creamery while we walked around the Heights. It was a family-centric week, which is always the best. Now to finish editing all of the aforementioned photos! Hope your Monday has been terrific. xo

Yesterday, we celebrated Serbian Easter (or all Orthodox Easters!) – we spent the morning at the Serbian church in Galveston, then had an egg hunt and lunch at Sasha’s cousin’s house. The kids all had the best time playing together, running around finding eggs and jumping on the trampoline. It was the perfect way to end a week filled with house planning and photo-taking, but which began with a trip to Brenham/Chappell Hill with Sydney and Cam. I had never been to the Blue Bell Factory, and it was a fun place to stop by and visit (and Isla got free ice cream!). The bluebonnets in Chappell Hill were literally breathtaking. I could have taken ten million photos in the endless fields. Ah, have I mentioned before that I love spring?

This week is filled with photo sessions and preparing for Milly’s party on Sunday. I cannot wait! I hope your week is off to the best start. xo

Happy April! I cannot believe we’re already here. Just over two weeks until Milly turns one – it’s unreal! We took two sets of birthday photos for her last week, because hello, crazy photographer Aunt. I cannot wait to share them all on her birthday!

We also had the most joyous Easter on Sunday – we went to the 8am service at Bayou City Fellowship, then came home to put Emilia down for a nap before heading to Monica’s for an Easter egg hunt and lunch. My parents are in Colorado, so we got to celebrate with friends and family! The egg hunt was adorable, with Emi and Milly having their own hunt in the front yard before the big kids (Isla included!) raided the back yard.

Some other highlights from the week included lunch with my sweet friend Joy, whom I see far too rarely, a park date with Kirby and Erin and the kiddos, an egg hunt and class room party at Isla’s school, seeing Britt and George for a 9 month photo, doing BBG with Monica, attending a Rooted Garden workshop hosted by Nicole Burke, going to Bahama Bucks for some shaved ice with Sydney and Cam (real life photo moment from that below!), getting a much needed facial, taking newborn hospital photos for Leah of adorable baby Guy, photographing one of Mum’s best friends and her granddaughter, Harper, and picking out our lights for the new house at Lighting, Inc.

All in all, it was a good week! It’s Tuesday evening and the house is a mess, laundry needs to be done, photos need to be edited. So let’s hope things turn around quickly, ha!
