It’s rainy and dreary outside and that makes for a happy Kaitlyn :] We normally have incredibly long Mondays, but today, we’ve gotten to work from home all day! And we’re working/playing with Ollie to the soundtrack of rain pitter pattering and it’s just lovely.

This week was slightly exhausting, but filled with lots of good. I’m having a hard time believing that it’s April already and that wedding season begins next month! Eek! So incredibly crazy. It is exciting to be gearing back up for weddings though. It’s been almost five months since we shot our last one at Shadow Creek, and at this point I’m itching to see a first look and dodge some sparklers :] Other than doing engagement sessions and looking forward to weddings, we had a lot of time with people this week. We do a monthly date night swap with some other parents of little babies and this month was our turn! So on Tuesday we watched three babies and it’s insane how much energy it took out of us! And it gave me a lot more empathy for my friends who have multiples. You all are the real heroes.

I  did lots of fun stuff with college students this week. We had a women’s retreat, so there was extra laughter and tears in my life. And a few of our students performed in a dance show, so I got to enjoy some modern dance that was super impressive…even though I’m not sure I understood it. Jam in some time with our friends and we are ready for a slow week this week :] And taking a family day yesterday sure helped.

Now for feels:

• Sometimes we put Disney playlists on loop for Ollie to dance around to…and occasionally, I regret it. Like a few days ago when the beginning sequence of Up came on…and I ended up sobbing at 2 in the afternoon.
• We’ve got a good deal going in our house when it comes to laundry. David does the washing and the drying because I hate carrying laundry up and down the stairs and because he forgets about leaving clothes in the washer way less than I do. But my end of the deal is folding and putting away, because he hates doing that. Annnnnd real life, there’s a person sized pile of laundry in our room that I’ve been meaning to fold but instead sift through looking for clothes every day :]
• Ollie got a basketball hoop in the mail from his Mimi and as much as he loves it…I think David loves it way more. Every time Ollie dunks on his mini hoop, David has papa pride like woah.
• There’s nothing like spending an engagement shoot having to pause conversation so that you can get some shots in! We loved our time with one of our 2017 couples this weekend! We’re just so grateful to have the opportunity to get to know people like we do.
• I’ve hung on to a cough for like two weeks now and it is the most annoying thing. Loud coughing is one of my pet peeves and right now…I’m the one annoying myself!

Friends, this engagement session out in Catawba this weekend was a good one! More on the blog this week!
