the rightful owner of the swing about to fall into sweet dreams.
after a good nap & a diaper change we did a lil photo session.

last day in louisville..

that last day in louisville is always bittersweet. i'm usually ready to be home, with just us, relaxing. but i'm sad as well, to leave all of our loved ones behind -until next time.

the paris & meyer's had a cookout so that they could all meet maya!

the kids played as we packed up.

ms. maya's heat rash was starting to fade... but we kept her naked most of the day.

i love this one. my mom & dad's hands on my baby girl. i have it framed in our living room.
& while we were enjoying ourselves someone said what time is your flight? so we checked it & it was in t-minus 1 hour & 45 minutes. so in a bit of a hurry we finished packing & loaded up the car. gotta love the lou airport's family lane at the security gate! we made it with a few minutes spare.

wedding day

maya & i left early saturday morning for the wedding. bryan & finn stayed behind so they could say hey to gabe & evelyn when they arrived! we were so excited to see them. last time we saw gabe he wasn't yet talking & although he could get around he wasn't really very mobile. the difference this time was amazing! gabe is a little man now!!! & such a cutie. i made bryan promise to take some pictures of them together.

how cute?!


maya slept the entire drive there. she was still so pooped that after walking around the property with rose for half an hour i laid her on the bed & she slept for another hour! how precious is she?

when she was woke up i wore her in my ka'tan wrap & then she slept some more. our first time photographing a wedding together!
if i wasn't holding her one of my buds from college took her for me.
the boys showed up right before the ceremony. finn found the kid table with candles on it. doh!
one of my favorite gals, nieves & bryan.
finn having a blast with all the plants & sticks.
jodi helped out during the ceremony :)
i looked over at one point during the ceremony & saw this. shuey... my man is awesome.
all the art kids that were able to make it. i miss this, can we please have a reunion soon!!!

for me? thanks sweet boy.
finn started to imitate how one of the guys was standing & i couldn't help but laugh. it was so cute.
he did it all night. "hey boys, be careful."
finn getting to know rose & clay's baby, yaka.
they put a movie on for the kids & that worked like a charm for my toddler. he was glued!
