1 Week Old Maddox

There was a lot of pee, poop and tears during this shoot but it was worth it to get these great shots. I love my naked little baby! These were taken only 5 weeks ago and the little man already looks so different. He was so small and floppy, now he's getting chunky and more sturdy. I stare at him all day long, when does all the change occur?!

Mormon Pride

Even though I really don't like the nickname "mormon" this campaign is awesome! I love that they're clearing up people's idea of mormons and showing that we are normal, everyday people. There has been a lot of hype about mormons lately with the all famous Jimmer, Romney, and the Book of Mormon Musical. And now NYC is covered in mormonism. Whether good or bad, publicity is publicity! I would love to see it all in person. I imagine I'd walk with my head held a little higher each time I saw something because i'm a mormon. A proud mormon.

And, though not part of the campaign, this video featured on the lds.org homepage is the highlight to me. 6 of my dearly loved wardies from NYC are stars! 

I am madly missing NYC
