Maternity Pictures

My friend, Brittany, is a great up and coming photographer. She actually doesn't do any professional work at all--but she should, and she will someday if she wants to. I was able to convince her to take some photos of us before she moves in a week or two, and she was amazing about editing them and getting them back to us within days. We are really excited--they turned out great! Here are a few she took:

I also realized today that my 2.5-year-old has been in gymnastics a year now--that's 40% of her life, haha. She only goes once a week, and it's more fun than learning, but I was thinking of some of the things that she can do now by herself that she couldn't do when she started--donkey kicks (handstands), reaching for and swinging on the bar, putting her feet on the bar, jumping, walking on the low beam, front rolls, straddle rolls, and a front support on the bar. She loves gymnastics so much that I am going to try to keep taking her to a class when I stop teaching in October.

I should've been cleaning my house this whole time--or napping--I will regret both later! But I wanted to share these first.
