So honored to capture these two before they fly next week to South Korea to share their “I do’s”. Congratulations!
The second of our sweet models (and incidentally, our only girl!) was a scant 14 days old. So peaceful and charming.

I am thoroughly exhausted. This semester has been a whirlwind, and culminated in Kate Bellflower and I hosted Laura Brett for a newborn photography workshop. Amazing, totally. I’m excited about the skills I’ve learned and the friends I’ve made. <3
Here's a quick share from the workshop - baby Joshua was simply perfection.

Oy, people. A week into FSU’s fall semester has me feeling OVERWHELMED! Too much to do, and I have a hard time with a small word – “no”. I say yes, because I want to do it all – drink deeply from the cup of life, but then that stupid cup spills. I’m taking three classes this semester, TAing for another class, and staying on as a Research Assistant for the tracker project. Loving life, and I really like all of my classes so far, but man, so much to do!
Onward!
Day 239: August 27, 2011: Frilled Neck Lizard. One of Matthew’s favorite toys.
Day 240: August 28, 2011: A Taste of Home. When I was a kid, on those hot and humid summer days where the idea of running the oven or spending time laboring over a hot stove made you want to gouge your eyes out, my grandmother would make what we called in Chinese liang mien – translated literally as “cold noodles.” After you boil the noodles, ice them down and then mix with a sesame sauce – or as my grandmother adjusted to fit the grocery stores in the US when she immigrated to the States, peanut butter watered down slightly – sliced cucumber, and a soy sauce mix. It’s lovely and makes me homesick.
Day 241: August 28, 2011: too cool for you. My mom sent the kids a care package and in it was a pair of sunglasses for Miss Priss. They’re already broken.
Day 242: August 30, 2011. I go to school in a football stadium. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I spend time in a football stadium, attending class. Aside from the decor in the front lobby and this statue outside, you can’t really tell.
Day 243: August 31, 2011. Sleep Training. Can you tell it’s been a hard day’s night around here? Luckily, we didn’t have to read the book to her that night in order for her to fall asleep and stay asleep well. (also, that book is for us, not the kids. I might be a little subversive, but even -I- have my limits!
Day 244: September 1, 2011. in the still of the night. I technically took this picture on 9/2, but it was way early in the morning and I hadn’t yet gone to sleep. Meet our new friend who keeps Ava at home so she’s not all alone (Matthew’s obsessed lately about anyone being left behind). A male betta fish who as yet is nameless, except for being a little fishie, according to Lindsey.
Day 245: September 2, 2011. Grammar. We ran about 4000 errands that day and while parked in a lot, I took a picture of this signage. Garnet and Gold Goes Green. Seeing grammatical errors in print from a large university makes the Baby Jesus cry.
Day 246: September 3, 2011. cheese and ham sandwich. When Lindsey tells me to take her picture, I listen and snap, snap, snap.
Day 247: September 4, 2011. toy boyt. New Rubbermaid tote = boat and some knocked heads when the five year old tried to simulate rocking waves and knocked the two year old out.

Lindsey was my date yesterday as we went to a reception at my school. She is so painfully shy sometimes, but when she warms up she does so in a big way. She spent a lot of her time “tickling” Lenese. She made a new friend, for sure.
Then we had dinner at Chez Burnett, and WOW were the kids crazy people. Also: loud.
And to cap off a perfect evening, we went out to celebrate Liz’s birthday at the Mockingbird Cafe. We had desserts – and they were awesome. Josh had the goat cheese cheesecake, and I had the peach bread pudding à la mode.
