reconnecting

i met maggie when little gigi was 6 months old.  we first connected because she booked me to do a photoshoot.  i couldn’t resist becoming her friend too.  now gigi is a little chatterbox and today at the photoshoot – we all were too.  my heart warms to see these kids grow up.  you and your family are just the best maggie!  it is so refreshing to be around you, to laugh with you, and hear your honest assessment of the world.  your humor and authenticity are such a treasure and rarity.  i wish everyone knew maggie – she is a one of a kind.  i want to sit around with maggie when we’re old.  they are not a lot of people that i meet & that i smile to think how fun that would be.

inspired in tulsa

my sister recently moved from kailua, hawaii to tulsa, oklahoma.  as always, i came home inspired.
gavin wanted our “photo shoot” too – i was not quite dressed for a fancy photo shoot – and gavin was more in the mood of jumping on me, it worked out better anyways that way… this picture below just gets me everytime.
on our last day, we did a long drive into the oklahoma country – to the “middle of no where” – we found a sweet apple and peach orchard.we look forward to our next oklahoma adventures.  but them moving here would be better.;)

little tid-bits

friday, we were down in hillcrest.  i always see and admire this little shop – filled with airy, dreamy, natural goodies.  gavin and i popped in.  and i bought the dreamiest little beauty.  gavin got a little treasure too.  a beautiful, adorable little new teddy bear.  he named him robber.  not robert (i checked) – yes robber.  he slept with robber friday night, not teddy.  not to fret, teddy is back to #1, however – robber has quickly become #2.  robber teddy – his full name according to gavin.

i spent friday and sat morning looking for a perfect spot for my treasure.  it is in a home for now, but hoping it has a new home soon.after a splendid and sunny family saturday (camera free) – the girls came over to play…  tid-bits of sunday…sometimes a family picture is tough for us.  so this will do for today.and while teddy is now sleeping with gavin, robber teddy is carefully packed.  good ole robber.
