PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: I’m still here. Kinda. (Austin Family Photographer)
We’re about one week out from being able to have a safe birth at home which is very exciting. I can’t believe how close it’s getting!!!! Just a little over a month to go!!!! I’ve been tucked away behind my computer for quite some time trying to get holiday orders filled while I can, so it will probably be quiet over here for a little while longer. But, when I get quiet on the blog, people start sending out search parties so I thought I’d drop a line. ;-) Which reminds me…thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment here. And I love clicking on your blogs, too. I might not always get to comment, but I do love to see what’s going on with you.
Anyway, the above pic is from this past weekend. My mom took my littlest guy for some alone time with Grandma which left us with some alone time with T man. It was one of our first cold mornings and I loved how T wrapped himself in a blanket to sit down for his favorite breakfast of grits (blech). He looked so snuggly and content and totally at home watching the sun come up over breakfast. Seriously, the kid would eat grits every meal of every day if he could.
And I have to say it is AMAZING how different the boys are when they are apart…so sweet and charming and loving. When they’re together, all they do is fight, but when they’ve been separated for a while, they constantly ask for and talk about each other. Go figure.
Oh yeah, I have the FUNNIEST video of the boys learning how to hold their new baby sister. If I can just figure out how to get it uploaded to the net. Oh, man, let me just say, she’s in trouble…

Awesome picture! I have been thinking about you!! As a mother of two boys I can totally relate to what you said about when they are together and apart. My boys are so close in age, and the same size, so ALL they do is fight it seems! Good luck the next couple of weeks!

So glad you are hanging in there Michele! Love this – such beautiful light. I find the same thing with my children – when they are separated they are totally different little kids. I enjoy having alone time with each one of them :o)

I love that he sat to eat and then watched the sun come up. My son won’t stay still when he eats. I’ve been thinking about you. :-)

You are sooo lucky to be having a baby in less than a week! I have four babies, two boys close in age, two girls….& I would have a million more! :) Best of luck!

I used to love it when grandma and grandpa would come and get just one. that time alone with each child is so neat………
beautiful images, and just think, once baby girl arrives you will have so much time to finally get all of your personal pics assembled in a lovely book of your own (wishful thinking, ha!)
