Bloom {A Memoir}

I'm loving this memior by Kelle Hampton. Her daughter was born with down syndrome, something they didn't know about until she was born. It's an incredible book where she shares her experience and what she learned and went through. It's amazing. There are many things she says that I think, she is so right so I want to share them so I always have them.

"What is it about different that makes us think it isn't perfect?"

"My sister told me she wished I could see what she saw--- because what she saw was wonderful. She said I was lucky--- that I'd been offered a shortcut to what life is all about when some people search for it their whole lives and never know." Bloom by Kelle Hampton {Loving this memoir!}

Game of Baseball

We went to Aunt Johnnie's for dinner and to celebrate her birthday. All the guys started a game of baseball in the field. The look of pure joy and excitement as Cooper ran the bases was priceless! Love making memories!

Being a Kid

I too often feel so sick of cleaning up stuff, but then I have moments of clarity where I remember this is what he was made to do--- to play, to imagine, to have fun.

My 28th Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday. I had my hair cut the day before. It is so nice to have a change. I love my hair! My birthday I had dinner with Chris. The boys made me breakfast and Chris got me one of my all time favorite books--- To Kill a Mockingbird, and the new one Go Set a Watchman. He also got me a favorite movie--- The Longest Ride... Scott Eastwood is the first time I've really had a celebrity crush! Haha! He also got my my favorite chocolate... Ghirardelli caramel. The next day Chris' mom took me to have my makeup done. I even had lipstick and eyelashes on and my eyebrows drawn! It was fun to feel so pretty, but definitely more makeup than I care to wear on a daily basis. I feel prettier with less makeup, but I have started to wear a little bit of lipstick which is kind of fun!

Frederiksen March Madness

We went out to dinner for the final game of March Madness since Chris and his dad were in the finals. For the first time in Frederiksen Family history, Chris won the coveted March Madness trophy. Cooper is pretty excited to have a trophy.

My Photography - Newborn Twins

I was able to photograph newborns in a local studio I rented. I am so happy with how they turned out. For my first time really doing newborns and twins, things went really well. I even dyed my own cheese cloth the night before, which was a fun new thing to try.
