leaving on a jet plane

c is in full swing preparing for his trip to ghana tomorrow.
he has his passport, visa, shots and is almost packed
{after one more load of laundry tonight}.
he is pretty excited and we are excited for him.

i've reminded him numerous times to take LOTS of pictures,
so we can really get a feel for what his experience there was like.
i'll be sure to share a few here when he returns.

in the meantime, i'll be juggling life as a single mom,
something i never look forward to.
i sometimes take for granted how much c does around here,
and when he's away {especially midweek}, i'm always reminded.

after we see off c, i have a few fun things planned for the weekend.
i'm taking the boys to sea world {we're hoping scout is tall enough to ride journey to atlantis}.
tomorrow night, finn has a sleepover at his buddy's home which means scoutie and i will have
an evening all alone. last, bonnie's baby shower is on sunday afternoon.
{i also need to clean my home, grocery shop and dig out our mexico pixs and post}

since i'm a believer that every post needs a photo...or two
i thought i'd share a couple i took of miss madison last weekend.
the shoot was probably my favorite of all shoots to date.
we walked all over downtown, stopping at extraordinary desserts
so i could photograph the girls in front of the shop's funky metal facade with holes in it.
{we couldn't resist grabbing a coffee and hot chocolate too while we were there}.













































~ the holiday season is officially over at the gerber casa.
our tree went to a recycle center today and our christmas bins have been
put in storage for next year. i pulled off all the holiday cards that were pinned
all over the family room and tucked away a few of my favorite photo cards.

oh i almost forgot. we even got all our thank you notes sent out.
finn was happy his younger brother took the lead on them this year.
scoutie wanted to write in each of the cards.{such a contrast to finn}
i just had to call out the letters to him so he knew how to spell the words.
he enjoyed it so much, he asked if there were more to do.

have i mentioned how much i love that kid?

I'm a Southern California mom to 2 boys and a wifey to my long-time love. I work full-time and life is a bit crazy, but I strive to remember to take time to enjoy the little things, because in the end, it's those things that will matter most.
