Between the time of my first memory . . . and my second and third memories, I remember nothing. The lacunae of these years I've been able to fill sketchily from the entries in my baby book, which notes such incidents as my first smile.

I have a question. Your picture....did you do a boudiour shoot? I am doing one this weekend for a Valentine's Day gift for the hubby. If you did, how was it?
Yes, my picture is from a boudoir shoot I did for my hubby's wedding present. I had THE BEST time doing it. I took some of my bridesmaids with me and that made it fun too. My photographer was great and made me feel very comfortable. I brought some props that incorporated Drew's interests - a Cubs jersey and some poker chips and cards. I think that he loved those pictures best. So take some props, and some costume jewelry too. Long beaded necklaces look fantasic. My photographer was Leah Stafford and her website is http://intimateboudoirbyleah.com/. She is absolutely fantastic. If you have any more questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
