Maternity Photo Shoot

The new picture on our blog is courtesy of our friend Laura at Chikadeez Photography. A few weeks ago, we met Laura out at McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth and had a blast taking pictures with her. You can read all about it on her blog. We had so much fun with her! She's so creative and laid back, and it really shows in her amazing work. The rest of the pictures can be found here.

Make sure to contact Laura if you are looking for a talented photographer in the Atlanta area.

Emily's Nursery

We've been working hard to get everything ready for little Emily's arrival. One of our most favorite projects has definitely been the nursery. We knew before I was even pregnant that the walls would be a neutral green color to allow us to easily decorate for a girl or boy. By just adding a few pink girly things, this room has become our favorite in the house :-)

Here's some pictures of our progress so far:

I love this wall decal that we got from Etsy.com and the adorable wooden letters were a gift from Mary, Anne, and Katie at our baby shower.
View towards her closet and the cute growth chart that Anne made!

3D Ultrasound

We had our 3D ultrasound today and it was great! Emily had her foot in her face for all of it, but we still have some pretty cute pictures. Here's one of our favorites:

 
It looks like she has a little smile on her face! You can see the whole ultrasound video here for the next two weeks. Just go to the guest login and type in my email address. It's a little long, but it's worth it. She has the cutest little cheeks!

Here's another one, I couldn't resist:

Grand Canyon

Fouad and I took a little weekend getaway to the Grand Canyon in March. We were looking for an easy weekend trip to take before Emily gets here (and before my travel schedule gets crazy in April & May) and this was perfect! We flew into Phoenix and drove up through the beautiful red rocks of Sedona:




Then we were off to the Grand Canyon!



Fouad got me a Flip video camera for our anniversary, and this was our first chance to try it out. Enjoy my video of Fouad at the Grand Canyon here :-)

Wilton Cake Class - Week 3 & 4


In the last two weeks of the Wilton Cake Course we learned how to make clowns and flowers.

Creepy Clown Cake

Wilton Roses and Sweet Peas


This class was really fun, and if I weren't traveling so much in April, I would be taking the next course with Mary. I think that I'll pick back up with Course 3, which is fondant and gum paste.

Bumpin!
