Maggie is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with. She is in to everything that should not be gotten in to, and we are enjoying every minute chasing behind her. She is the best thing ever.
This is a little snapshot from her seventh month that provides insight into how a day ebbs and flows around here.

The girl has so many toys, but for some reason prefers to to bang on the door and look outside. It's one of her favorite past times.

mags003.jpg She is finally starting to realize that swings are fun!

mags005.jpg I swear, she really does have toys, but she likes to play with things like paper and boxes....and computer cords.
mags006.jpg She also prefers to just sport the diaper.

It's really that much fun. Go find a box and try it for yourself.

And now on to glorious bath time. Maggie adores bath time.

I have to explain this final shot. Our dear, sweet daughter has started growling at us lately. It's sort of a "look-at-me-I'm-super-cute" growl. And then we growl back and it becomes a sort of growling match. It's the cutest thing ever. This is the growl in action.

Maggie met her cousin Cooper for the first time this week! Cooper is two months younger than Maggie, however one would never be able to tell this as he is a beast in comparison.
I brought along a camera to document the epic meeting...which turned out to be not so epic because they weren't that interested in each other :)
We are looking forward to some fun beach days with Cooper this summer!

I find them very cute.

John and Kelley are so much fun and we have been thrilled to be a part of their wedding process! They keep each other laughing constantly, and I find this adorable.

They had a beautiful candle light ceremony at St. Thomas Preservation Hall in historic Downtown Wilmington, NC. Their ceremony will forever be one of my favorites, it was such a intimate, romantic atmosphere.

We headed to Caffe Phoenix for a lovely dinner reception....and a party ensued.

Thanks to Beautiful Bouquets by Betty for such wonderful work! The flowers were simply outstanding!
And thanks to Rob with Forever DJ for rocking out the reception!

Kelley got ready at The Riverview Suites which overlook the Cape Fear River.

We must take a moment to gush about Hannah and Jessica at A Shindig Southern Event Planning! These gals are the best! They are a joy to work with because they keep their brides really happy...and happy brides are easy to photograph!
They are attentive to the smallest of details and they always aim to create a unique look for each wedding. We heart them.

So to all you beautiful brides in the midst of wedding planning chaos...call them. Do it. Now.

This lovely set up was designed around the theme "The Big Apple."

We have truly enjoyed getting to know Stuart and Michelle through their wedding process, they are such a genuine and kind couple! Stuart, who is currently in seminary, gave Michelle a strict deadline of 6 months to plan their wedding. I must say that Michelle and her darling mother, Liz, definitely pulled off quite a glamorous affair!

These two tied the knot January 9th under a blue sky and some chilly temps in Lake Waccamaw, NC. The cold was no match for the joy of the day and the love that emanated from this sweet couple.

We are thrilled for you both! Welcome to the journey and we hope for much joy (and lots of babies) on the way!

Many kudos to
Memory Florist the lovely flowers and reception design.
The Dessert Divas for the beautiful and delicious cake!
Joe Durivage kept the party hopping.

Michelle is a stunning bride!
