I’ve been working on getting a post together to share the experience of being with my sister and her husband, and the DAYS we spent at the hospital leading to my niece’s birth. It’s taken a while to process, and tomorrow I will share the photos. Talk about being oddly torn between being a sister, doula, and photographer. It was really such an experience, and an incredible honor to have been a part of it all.

Please visit back tomorrow and see what is surely going to be one of my most proud posts of 2013.

I know a lot of people around here get annoyed with the snow, but our family loves it. I suppose it’s because we are homebodies, and it gives us the excuse to “hunker-down.” We strike a hot fire, cuddle up, and cook good food. It gives us a great scene out our window, and precious memories outdoors for the kids. Here’s a look at our snowy winter weekend via the instagram/iphone…

-Brett worked with the boys training them on making a proper fire

-The kids shoveled the driveway, and then played for a while

-Gabe came in from the cold and snuggled up in our bed

-Saturday morning Brett and I woke to noises downstairs, and the kids had made us a huge breakfast from scratch–major heart melting moment

We post to instagram daily. Feel free to follow along with our crazy life… @jesszwo @brettzwo
