Mama & Liv

Photos by Kylie Turley / September 2015

Today is Mother's Day and I am finally getting around to sharing these beautiful photos my sister took of Liv and I last fall. Since Livvy decided to come so early I never got to get my maternity photos taken. It's so special to share them with her all these months later. 

Already Liv has grown so much. Van is looking less and less like a toddler and more like a little kid. My mama heart grows to love them more every day. With every milestone and every setback I am so proud to be their mother and feel so thankful I get so share my life with them.

Happy Mother's Day!

Family

Right now our family is in a slightly weird transitional phase of selling our house and trying to figure out what to do next. It's been stressful keeping the house clean and leaving periodically for showings, but mostly it's hard not knowing when it will sell so we can move on to our next adventure. On the bright side it is super exciting knowing all the new opportunities that will come available to us.

It doesn't really matter where we live or what we're doing, as long as we have each other. 

Sweet Baby Liv

Liv came home May 1, 2015 and we took her newborn photos around a month later when she just turned three months old. Already she was looking big to me, but she was still the size of a newborn. For so long I looked at Liv's nursery with an empty crib and wondered when she would get to come home, and just like that there she was. Sleeping in her crib next to my bed like she was there all along. Nothing brings me more comfort than knowing my babies are close. 

Thank you again sis for taking photos of my beautiful daughter!

Having my sister Kylie around is awesome for a million reasons, but one huge perk is she takes awesome photos! This was our first family session with our newest addition, Liv. She was two months old and just getting to see the outside world after being in the NICU. It was a rainy day, my hair got frizzy (dang it!), Van didn't want to have his photo taken, and Liv wasn't in the best mood either. But we're all together and that's what matters most.
