It might just be because it’s the end of a long day, but I cried seconds into this video. Then watched it a few more times until my tears stopped and I felt a little less lonely, a lot more connected and really proud to be a mom. I hope it does the same for you.

The weather was perfect. 70 degrees. Sunny. The kind of mid-October day that insists you get of the house and enjoy it or else.

My plans included a game of chase, gravel inspecting and most important to me a perfect portrait shoot in honor of her upcoming birthday. She woke up. We drove over. We chased, we inspected, we chased, we inspected. She made it clear my camera was boring her and that “the portrait shoot” I had envisioned wasn’t going to happen.

Turns out it was nothing like what I imagined. It was even better, that is after I gave up on the notion of perfect and just had fun. Happy Birthday to the most charming person I have ever met!

What you probably don’t know is that I have an extremely loyal and trusty assistant. Right now her number one job is to make me smile first thing in the morning. She hasn’t missed a day yet, so I’m not too worried about the 3 or 4 nap breaks she takes everyday. She’ll come around eventually.

Trusty Assistant

Absolutely perfect (if I do say so myself.) I’ll continue to be on maternity leave enjoying this little miracle until Spring 2008. See you all then!!!
