.meet Logan.

March 31, 2010

Its been forever since I’ve updated my blog so I thought I’d do one update today,
specially seeing that today is supposed to be my baby boy’s due date…but he decided to show up 8 days early.

Meet Logan, born on 22nd March weighing 7.25lb (3.29kg).

I just wanted to say that he is absolutely precious and we are blessed to have him to complete our family.

Our lil girl was so very excited and proud to be a big sister, she absolutely adores her lil brother and always wants to hold him all the time…
she is such a wonderful lil helper.

Logan is such a cool lil guy and he stole our hearts from the first moment we meet him.

So here are a few pictures of him that i took recently…

.happy anniversary.

January 20, 2010

well its our anniversary day today…7 years married to a wonderful man and 15 years together
if you count the fact that we were going out for 8 years before we decided to get hitched LOL

we didn’t do anything special this year tho, seeing that its a week night and we also have to do a bit of tidy up in the house seeing that we have a builder coming around tomorrow to check out our house….the purchaser of our house might come with him so we thought we better make the house look a bit decent….(oh yeah, in case you didn’t know we are in the process of trying to sell our house again…hopefully we’ll have more luck this time around).

so to celebrate the occasion i asked if we can do a family photo shoot to document our family as well as the stage im in right now as Im officially in my last trimester of my pregnancy, exactly 30 weeks today! wow i can’t believe i only have a few more weeks to go…

my pregnancy has been going well although i’m feeling HUGE (at times i feel like i have been carrying around a basket ball in front of me!)
not to mention lots of heartburn and the random back pain! Im at that stage where i just want to get this over with now….
i can’t wait to meet our boy to complete our family.

i also wanted to say that sometimes i can’t believe that we have created one beautiful lil girl 5 years ago…
she is so sweet, loving and the best thing that ever happened to us….
and now that we are expecting another additional to our lil family she’s soooo excited about it.
I just adore our little girl and sometimes I think that I don’t deserve her.
She is so caring that she will do anything to put a smile on your face, she’s beautiful and enchanting and she’s our little girl.

we are blessed with a little one that is due soon and it makes my heart smile that they will always have each other growing up…
I just know our lil girl is  going to be an awesome big sister. She has been always been a bright spot in our lifes with her smile and her sweet nature…
I feel so lucky and blessed that God chose her to be with us.

anyway, before i start getting all teary eyes, i better share our family maternity pics…
i can’t believe we actually have a nice sunny day today, a good day for our anniversary :)

a fresh start…

January 4, 2010

Well we are officially in 2010!! Yay!

I just wanted to say that its been a good start of the year so far…
I was able to spend some time to reflect what has happened in 2009 and what i want to do this year…

Im grateful that we all have been given a chance to start fresh and getting another chance to get it right this year.

On another positive note, I have been able to do a few things that i haven’t been able to these past couple of weeks.
I have a new website on the works, im aiming to get it done by the end of this week…can’t wait to launch it soon!

And also i have been really into still-life photography lately….
i like the clean & fresh look in still life photos, and the simplicity….plus i just love flowers
(especially daisies and hydrangeas…i think they are very photogenic) so that’s what i have been taking pics of lately.
I have to say that its very refreshing to have the motivation and energy to pick up my camera again
eventho its very sporadically at the moment, just when the mood strikes me.

Anyway, i want to share a few of my current still-life snaps, taken all around my house for the past couple of days…
