Lumberjack Mack

Hey guys!

So through all of my "baby prep" somewhere along the line I got a promo code for a free 8X8 Shutterfly Photobook... Naturally I had 150 ideas as to what to use it on BUT Parker and I settled on making a storybook for our sweet little baby!

Naturally the story that evolved was about a jerky eating, bear wrestling lumberjack that decides to go on an adventure to find a wife. And naturally that meant that Parker needed to grow out a beard and some of my dear friends had to dress up as animals. I thought I would share some of the photos with you because they turned out so dang cute!

Love,

Hello All!
I know it's been a while. It's a little because not a lot has really been going on (besides my ever expanding to belly) and a little because I've been in Utah since the 4th of July and Parker has been in Indiana and won't be here until tomorrow. Honestly, this has been the longest six weeks of my life (longer even than the six weeks packing roe at the fishery in Alaska)... and I am beyond grateful that they are coming to a close. My parents have been champions at feeding me and entertaining me but I miss my husband and our life. There have been times when I feel as if I'm their wayward daughter that got knocked up and sent home and that I was never married in the first place. Thankfully the weirdness is almost over!
This whole situation has made me more and more grateful for modern technology. FaceTime, texting, online baby registries and more has made it so much easier to be away from my sweet husband. I have NO idea how people handled things like this before all of our modern conveniences. Anyway, I just thought I would type a celebration post real quick!
Now it's back to baby showers, waiting for this little guy to grow and making more and more lists of things to do! Wish us luck!
