A run of kid ailments at my house have slowed me down lately, but I definitely wanted to go back to share some photos from earlier this month that I was especially happy to be a part of. The new mom in this series is a great friend of mine who I’ve known since high school in Georgia. We somehow both ended up in living in Milwaukee when we were newlyweds and when I first became a mom. I was thrilled when I heard she was expecting her first baby, and even more excited when it worked out that I would get to meet the him at only four weeks old.
It has been said that friends are the family of our own choosing, and I am so grateful for those who hold that place in my life, and especially those who I have been in my life for many years. It is amazing to go from being children together, and then grow, encourage, and support each other through the many stages of life that follow. Even if we only get to see each other every few years now, I was so happy to get to visit my old friend as she enters into this newest phase of her life and family. THANK YOU, C! I love you, loved catching up with you, and am honored to have been able to take these photos for you.
Had to get one in of the other baby.
