This week I was able to take some time away from the office to spend a day running errands and preparing for our second daughter's arrival. The day began with a photo shoot on Austin's East 6th street with Lisa Woods of Now and Then Photography, to capture Mel's in all her maternal glory, and also give us some professional shots of our growing family, which is a first for us since Emma came along. We hit it off with Lisa right away, and her eye and funky/urban ideas led to some gret photos (shown below) set against the backdrop of Austin's quirky downtown setting. Melissa looked absolutely stunning, yet another reminder of what an absolutely gorgeous woman I am married to, and Emma was an angel and did really well with taking instructions and interacting with the camera. I guess it pays to have a camera in your child's face 24-7 at home, she's quite used to daddy behind the lens, so she was really comfortable during the shoot! The rest of the day consisted of a few meals, a visit to our delivering physician, and registering for our "sprinkle" which Shea and Jonathan Grubb's are throwing for our Austin friends to get us stocked up for the new baby's arrival. We made some final decisions about the nursery and really began to narrow our choices down and get stocked up for the coming months. We found a great new brand of biodegradable diapers and picked up a baby book. It was a long day, but very fun, energetic, and productive. I'm looking forward to this new baby, and all that comes with welcoming a new child into our home in the next several weeks.
