Pumpkin Patch

It's another first!

Welcome to the PUMPKIN PATCH.

Emmerson :: october

Here we are....FALL! I can hardly believe it.  September had us settling in to our new home and we are completely overjoyed with our home.  I have also been back to work (Teaching On Call) which has been wonderful, busy, a bit bittersweet, but great.  We are fortunate to have both sets of grandparents ready and willing to take on my sweet little girl. 

By 9 months Emmerson had been taking her first steps and it wasn't long before she was fully walking.  Remember back when I said she was one determined little girl? well i was right.  Nothing stood in this girls way...quite literally.  She goes right on over anything in her way.  We have to keep and extra eye on her.

Now at 10 months she continues to amaze us!
Emmerson has...

1. figured out jumping on the bed
2. throws her ball to the ground to make it bounce
3. only 2 teeth...still
4. a love for banana, kiwi, and avocado
5. not slept through the night since 4 months
6. learned to dance and clap when she hears music
7. an obsession with Elmo singing with stars (OBSESSED with these videos, like Elmo and Adam Sandler, Katy Perry, Jason Meraz.  No other videos will do, not even disney...it HAS to be ELMO, which brings me to...
8. an obsession with the IPAD.  (YES YES i swore i wouldn't be THAT parent whose kid throws a tantrum with they don't get their electronics.  BUT when the IPAD comes out you had better be playing and Elmo song...OR ELSE!
9. a love for the outdoors.  She loves to explore and by expore i mean everything EVERYTHING in the mouth.

 

 

 

 

monthly updates :: behind :(

so I'm a little behind on my monthly updates of my little one...just a little.  I was trying to keep up to her monthly milestones but lack of Internet access, space and...time...has kept me behind. Nevertheless, many milestones have been hit, so here's a quick glance at the last few months. It's been a busy summer! Emmerson certainly keeps us on our toes and we finally have a house to call our own.   

 

We made it to the pool and emmerson loves to swim...luckily oma and opa have a pool where she was getting lots and lots of practice.

 

 

Emmerson's second trip to Vancouver.  And first time in court ha...we had to go to court in order to take possession of our home.

 



 

August was super exciting. Emmerson's first plane ride.  We went to Saskatchewan to visit Emmerson's Great Grandpa. He was thrilled to see his only great grandchild at the cabin...the place he loves most!

 

We are finally settled in our new home. Freshly painted walls makes for a lovely background.  

 

 

Stay tuned...EMMERSON IS WALKING!

mike + michelle



it was a day of love...

felt between friends, family, husband and wife.

i was so lucky to be apart of it all.

 

Michelle and Mike have been together for, well let's just say a FEW years, and when mike popped the question the planning began!  Everything that made this day special was a labour of love.  Michelle planned such a beautiful day and with the help of friends and family she completely pulled it off. 

When Michelle asked me to capture the day I was absolutely thrilled...mixed with a ball of nerves.  I knew this was THE wedding to photograph! And with the abundance of wonderful photographers in the Okagangan I knew I had to up my game :)  Michelle is one of my closest friends and I wanted to do her proud. 

 

Get ready for the longest post of pictures EVER.   

 

Love you Michelle and Mike...enjoy your memories!   xoxo kailey
