The Sweet Life

Landry was due at Christmas-time, but came a few weeks early…and even though she’s a little older than the usual newborn for this time of year, her adjusted age is still under two weeks. And so, my first session of 2008 was on the books, and we had *such* a good time.

Sweet, sweet Landry has a definite personality. Here’s what she thinks of her hat (or is it me? I blame the hat…the hat blames the lady with the camera and claims innocence. And so the finger pointing continues. Between the hat and myself. I might need to get out more.).

A few more of sweet baby girl Landry and her big (attentive, excited, post-lollipop) brother Logan. Who, funny enough, thought my name was Sugar’tography. Love him!
*Love* this one…
I have to give a quick shout-out to L&L’s mommy L…We had such fun this morning, bonding over diaper changes, bottles, talking preschools, and a busy 3.5 year old that Just. Wants. To. Help. So much fun, in fact (I love this part-it made my whole day), that as I was leaving she commented that if I was going out sometime for drinks with mommy friends, to, you know, don’t hesitate to call. And literally five minutes later (as I browsed CVS for my favorite lipstick that is forever abandoning me in times of need) my phone rang and it was L again. Letting me know that Little Miss Landry was fast asleep, thanking me for such a great session, promising to tell her friends about Sugar, and…”if you ever need a designated driver. Or someone to have a glass of wine with. Call me.”

I am *so* calling her the next time I need some mommy down time. Anyone else want to go? We could have a girls’ night out and make some new friends!

This is, after all, my new favorite book.

And with that small segue .. we’re off! The next few weeks are already booked with newborns maternities, little ones, and more. I know it’s been quiet, but I *needed* some downtime whilst the kids were home from school. And now that they are back in school, I *need* some time out. of. this. house.

I don’t know that there was a happier place to be on Tuesday than our Montessori school’s parking lot. Rejoicing moms (and dads) were everywhere, and even the kids were easy to peel off and usher into various classrooms.

It’s been a good week.

2008-here we come!
