It has taken a while but I finally put together a video of my trip to Masterton, New Zealand, and Monty’s birth. It’s not easy to be grandma, mom, photographer, and videographer all at once but I gave it my best shot. I hope you enjoy! And yes, I also got video footage from my…
Did you know I have about a zillion photos from my trip to New Zealand in August that I haven’t shared here yet? Mainly because brown-eyed Percy kept me busy, busy, busy. So, how about I start sharing them now? One day while we were waiting for Monty to arrive, we headed up to Pukaha…
When my firstborn, Adalia, was barely a toddler she taught me an important lesson about the hazard of too many toys. She was always on the (very) high-energy low-sleep spectrum of kids. When she was just over a year old, I would watch her every morning as she woke up and every afternoon after her…
I explained in this post why I didn’t go visit Adalia when I was in New Zealand for Abel’s birth. The thing is, the girls live *almost* as far apart as they could and still be on the same island. To get from Tilly’s place to Adalia’s, it takes two plane rides and a hour…

40 Weeks Pregnant Adalia is now 40 weeks pregnant and we went outside the other day for a few quick photos. I am enjoying every minute of soaking up my time with Percy here in New Zealand. He came to visit in December, but I had to share him with the rest of our family….
Cutest Uncle and Nephew Duo Ever! Bellingham Photographer As soon as I found out Ben, Adalia and Percival were coming to visit, I knew that I had to do a photoshoot of the cutest uncle and nephew duo ever! I ordered the adorable rainbow pajamas from my favorite kid’s clothing company, Primary. I’ll be honest,…
How to Cash Flow a Holiday While Paying Off Debt Chuck and I had a short list of things we really wanted to do when our kids were visiting from New Zealand. I wanted an uncle/nephew photo shoot, I wanted to take Ben and Jared up to Mt. Baker, Chuck wanted to introduce Ben to…
As I am sure you can imagine, the days are flying by here our New Zealand family. Percy is the cutest thing ever. Not only is he gorgeous, but he has the best personality. He has adjusted amazingly well considering how many new faces he has met. Let’s just say our house is a wee…
