seattle bachelorette trip and some pics of zoey

Hi everyone!

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had a chance to blog anything personal, so I am way overdue! 2011 was an amazing year – seeing Zoey go from a baby to a toddling little girl. She is the highlight of our world, and the love of our life! She is now 1 1/2 years old and she’s funny, silly, happy, smart, and overall amazing (doesn’t every parent think that?!) Here are a few recent photos of her, just at home being herself…not dressed for photos in the least. I’ve been making more of a concerted effort to document our everyday life at home (with my “real” camera as I call it, not just with my iphone!)…

And this is Linus, my first “baby”

 On the left is Moo, my second “baby”. And meet Louie (on right), our newest baby! He is a rescue from Big Dog Rescue | BostonTerriers. If you want a Boston Terrier, check them out!

Some more shots of Louie, who is apparently a little camera shy. Louie, that is not gonna work in this household

Life is really rough, says Zoey.

And 2012 is off to a bang as well! I’ve got a few awesome destination weddings on the books (Colorado and St Louis!), my good friend Stacy’s (with SMS Photography) wedding (in which I’m a bridesmaid!), some more work on our home remodel (of course, it never ends), and lots of other stuff! And speaking of Stacy’s wedding, I was able to take my first non work related fun trip since Zoey was born for Stacy’s bachelorette trip to Seattle! Yes, Seattle is an unusual place for a bachelorette trip, but my bachelorette trip was to Maine so it’s par for the course! We had an amazing time touring Seattle, taking a day trip to do wine tasting, and of course lots of eating and drinking (it was a bachelorette trip after all)! Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip!

The bachelorette got to catch a fish!! And she actually caught it!

And this is my friend Vanessa (Photography by Vanessa) having the biggest oyster ever!

 

And some iphone snapshots!

My artsy portrait of Vanessa!

My portrait of Stacey (I’m obsessed with her tattoo)!

We did a lot of THIS on the trip. My liver hated me.

And the cute house in Capital Hill where we stayed!
