This one. This little smiling, impish, playful one below? She turns one year old tomorrow. A YEAR. I just can’t believe we’re already here.

All day long, I’ve been saying to her, “last year at this time, I was…”. It’s been such an emotionally filled day. It’s so wild to think that at last year right now, we didn’t know who we were about to meet. Who was about to steal our hearts, and bring us incredible happiness. And now, it’s impossible to think of our lives without her.

Tomorrow we are having a party for her. To celebrate the past year, and to just enjoy this crazy little girl who changed our world. We’re also going to the NICU in the morning. To say thank you to the amazing people there, without who we may be telling a different story right now.

Happy Birthday, Peanut! Get ready for your first taste of cake tomorrow! If you’re anything like me, there’s no turning back.

Your dad & I love, love, love you.

DeAna & Philippe: Because

February 22, 2010

DeAna and Philippe two were brave, brave souls to meet up with me outside in February. I think the temperature I saw on a billboard on my way into the city this cold Saturday morning said 25 degrees, without the windchill. Oh yes, you read that right! Good thing we conveniently picked a location that allowed us to run inside and warm up at any moment — Faneuil Hall. Another bonus to meeting there early on a Saturday morning? No crowds! I don’t think I’ ve e

ver see it so empty there.

We first started inside the Marketplace, to kind of ease into the frigid temps and ice waiting for us outside. The vendors were just starting to turn on their ovens and stoves, and it smelled SO good in there. People were trickling in, looking for coffee and breakfast, but it was pretty quiet for such a normally bustling area.

And yes, we did certainly shoot outside for a bit! We just shot fast. :)

Another fave. Here you can see that Philippe is a FOOT taller than DeAna (she’s wearing those fabulous heels you see in the pic above too!).201002_Craig_083.2WebSharpwm

And finally, you know how I save my top fave for last…oh, how I love this shot.

DeAna and Philippe, thank you guys so much for braving a February morning in Boston with me! And DeAna, to brave the cobblestones in those heels–you are awesome.
