We are a family of 5 currently living in the Pacific Northwest. We have three daughters (our first daughter was my "surprise" at 19, Mike adopted her in 2009) and family spread out all around the world (my parents are in Egypt, his in California). I blog to keep my family up to date on our happenings and to document our kids lives... I'm hoping that one day they will appreciate this online journal of their childhood :)

I am also a photographer in Seattle-Tacoma, Washington. You can find me over at kipperphotography.com. Thanks for stopping by!

a year of Scarlett

I can't believe we're celebrating Scarlett's birthday already! How can this be? On one hand I feel like she was just born, her birth is still so fresh in my mind (read it here), but on the other hand, I can't imagine a day without her. She's my sidekick, always clinging to my hip, she goes with the flow and is in no rush to enter toddler-hood. She loves being the baby of the family.

Tonight when I rocked her to sleep, I asked for a kiss (like I always do) and for the first time EVER, she sat up and pushed her little mouth onto mine. She didn't pucker up or anything, but she knew exactly what she was doing. Then she rubbed her head against my face (like a cat) and cuddled into me (this is her usual loving gesture). It was the sweetest thing.

Here's a quick year in review of our adorable, low-maintenance, sleeps like a champ, ONE year old! :)

Waiting for baby...
