My first camera lesson

Last week I was so excited to have a photo shoot with a professional photographer! She is a friend of my husbands and was willing to show me how to set up my camera to get some great shots when I'm out with my family. Liam wasn't the best of subjects, but I got a few pics. We're going to try and get another set of photos before she moves at the end of July and if I can convince my husband maybe... just maybe one day we'll do a family photo shoot with her at her new home in Paris, France. But that could be a long shot, I'm lucky he's taken me there twice, I'll just have to watch for some super super cheap tickets.

Liam's Baby Blessing

 Stephanie- You take the best pictures ;)

Liam and his Fairy Godmother- Steph we need to get you some wings and a wand... I'll work on that, I'm getting crafty these days.

Well this little man is officially William Russell Miller. Grandma and Papa Wilson, Auntie Maralee with cousins Jack and Nora, and fairy godmother Stephanie all came to town for the occasion. We had a wonderful visit and were lucky to have a babysitter for Aaron and I to slip out on our first date since he was born... it was last minute and I was sooooo not cute for the occasion, but we were excited all the same. Next time maybe we'll put some thought into it ahead of time.

April and May Update

 The gang together again- Matt, Stephanie, Scott, Me- the last time we were together like this was at my wedding almost 5 years ago. I am very blessed with lasting friendships.

Goodness how time fly's! I can't believe it's already summer and Liam will be 3 months old tomorrow! He is growing and getting so big. He is such a good little bebe I can't believe how lucky we are! In April we had 2 wedding weekends in a row, both out of state, both parties Liam slept through. But he is such a good traveler, even the grouchy woman on the airplane said so at the end of our long 4 hour flight. And as a sweet gift to his mother and father, on return from the second wedding Liam started sleeping through the night and has done so ever since. Which now brings us to May :) Starting with my birthday, Liam rolled over 3 times in a row during tummy time! And has yet to do it again since.... I guess it was a special birthday present. Weekend number 2 was our first Mother's Day. I got the day off! Almost, aside from feeding Liam, Aaron took care of him, in addition he made dinner, and let me take a peaceful, uninterrupted Sunday nap in my favorite lounge spot on the couch it was lovely. And for a finishing touch Aaron took us on a family outing to the Macy's jewelry counter (this was the Friday prior to Mothers day) and bought me a beautiful long colorful pearl necklace (see Liam's blessing pictures). You know that one thing that you put on and it just makes you feel glamorous? These pearls have that effect. Seriously I have been known to wear them around the house on a rough day when Liam doesn't want to nap and wants to be held non stop, I haven't had a shower, barely eaten anything, and I'll admit it a tooth brush hasn't touched my teeth... I know gross... but just wearing the pearls make me feel okay about all of it. Life is good. Life is wonderful.

P.S. There are lots of wedding pictures from both weddings on facebook, check them out!
