tuesday stuff

Miles came home today with a whole bag of Valentines from preschool and before I could turn around, he had two suckers out of their wrappers and into his mouth. (I was very jealous of that Tootsie pop, my favorite!) Miles doesnโ€™t get candy very often so when he gets it, heโ€™s in the ZONE….

    Miles is too cute. Heartburn sucks. Miss u.

  • JohnFebruary 17, 2010 - 2:37 am

    Thanks for the adorable post! I’m having a blast, but I’m missing my boy and my Love!

  • CassieFebruary 17, 2010 - 8:02 am

    That is one serious sucker face. He looks so much like John in that last picture!

  • GailFebruary 17, 2010 - 8:43 am

    I love that little man ๐Ÿ™‚

  • CourtneyFebruary 17, 2010 - 8:47 am

    So I think every comment I have ever left here is something along the lines of “Your kid is sooooo cute I just want to put him in my pocket!” But it is only because he really is so cute I could just pick him up and put him right in my pocket. ๐Ÿ™‚ Sorry to hear about the heartburn. :/ Hope it goes away soon!

  • LindsayFebruary 17, 2010 - 1:18 pm

    Ahhh what an imagination! Miles is too cute for words!

  • jess@studio3zFebruary 17, 2010 - 1:36 pm

    If you can stand it, ginger tea works well for heartburn. ๐Ÿ™‚ Little man is so flipping precious as always. I just wanna squeeze him.

  • bobbiFebruary 18, 2010 - 9:59 pm

    Oh… one more thing… (from my blog comment on the post after this one) that photo you put up of Miles with his skis on Twitter was genuinely the highlight of my week… Okay, that’s all ๐Ÿ™‚

mighty dog

Perhaps Whisper is feeling a little inspired by the Winter Olympicsโ€ฆ Go Whisper Go! PS This is so weird, but Whisper has udders, as you can see in this photo. (Sorry to bring attention to it Whisper!) Two, actually. (She used to be fat, but lost a bunch of weight and so she has even…

  • amanda b. youngFebruary 15, 2010 - 2:22 am

    Have I mentioned I love your random posts like this? Hilarious. Always make me smile!

  • CassieFebruary 15, 2010 - 9:25 am

    This made my morning.

  • ashley bartolettiFebruary 15, 2010 - 7:08 pm

    omg soooo cute!! makes me want to get out and take some cute pics of my dog in the 3 feet of snow we have here

  • Tori PiercyFebruary 16, 2010 - 12:07 am

    Too cute! You make me want to get a pug!

  • AngelaFebruary 16, 2010 - 9:29 pm

    At least Whisper (cute name) doesn’t let her udders stop her! I wondered if she was a boy but since you clarified it helped. So glad to see someone having a sunny winter and getting out to take pics. I have been so unmotivated in this cold!

the iphone chronicles

With my iphone and my trusty little Polaroid-esque ap, Shake it Photo, I thought I would share a little bit of our everyday world with our little guy. This is just breaking the surface, leaving so much out, so I might have to start making a series of theseโ€ฆ. If you follow me on Twitter…

    Love it! Thanks Bets.

  • Emily M.February 12, 2010 - 2:00 am

    i got an iphone in december, and a few weeks ago discovered the joy of iPhone camera apps–i’m having SO much fun with it. especially all the retro/toy camera apps. have been contemplating the shake it app, but am (for the moment) trying to show some app-buying restraint!

  • tamiFebruary 12, 2010 - 2:10 am

    this is hysterical…thanks for sharing! AND, i totally agree with miles on Yo Gabba Gabba and I think I might have given the same face the first time I saw it, paired with a “huh!?!”

  • RyanFebruary 12, 2010 - 5:54 am

    Look at him on the iMac! He’s gonna be a designer. I’ve been thinking about getting some help around here. Haha.

  • GailFebruary 12, 2010 - 8:27 am

    So the sole reason I REALLY want an iPhone? Is for that Polaroid app. How stupid is that?

    These are so fun though ๐Ÿ™‚

  • adam(3)February 12, 2010 - 12:49 pm

    nice. im a fan of the shakeIt app.

  • LindsayFebruary 13, 2010 - 10:22 pm

    Betsy — where are those pillows from that you posted on your twitter? I need them, especially the raspberry colored one!

  • bridgetFebruary 14, 2010 - 2:57 am

    This is EXACTLY why I need an iphone. ๐Ÿ™‚ love that app. and all of these are great. except the yo gabba gabba part. ๐Ÿ™‚

snuggling with jackson and will

I have had the pleasure of photographing Lily and Johnโ€™s family three times now when they come into town from Atlanta to visit family. Here is Jackson when I first met him, and here he is a year later. Now I got to meet their precious second baby boy, Will, for their third shoot. They…

    I THOUGHT that first little guy looked super familiar! How adorable!!!! What a sweet family!

  • bobbiFebruary 9, 2010 - 11:03 pm

    SO fun! Love that you were able to photograph them in their house! Or…. wherever it is you were ๐Ÿ™‚

our own super bowl

We arenโ€™t football fans so even though the Colts were in the super bowl we decided to flee all the televised commotion and head to Ann Arbor (our favorite little city to escape to, at least within 3 hours) and do some major Ikea shopping.

    I LOOOVEEEE Ikea! I could spend an entire week there just looking at everything…ahhh!! I’m so glad Miles did well for you. I know how that could have gone ๐Ÿ™‚ So excited for your new studio…you should post some updated pictures soon! One more thing…you look absolutely gorgeous, even with that little baby of yours in your belly ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Melissa CopelandFebruary 8, 2010 - 11:45 pm

    Dude..IKEA is SO blog worthy. So glad you posted this.. Awesome.

  • CeciliaFebruary 9, 2010 - 7:18 am

    It makes a little Swede like me proud and happy to read about your IKEA-experience:)

  • Betsy PietrusFebruary 9, 2010 - 10:15 am

    Your blog entry was NOT boring. I like the fact that others besides myself get excited about IKEA. I enjoy you blog and amazing photos!

  • JennaFebruary 9, 2010 - 12:38 pm

    What a fun post to read this morning! I’ve never been to IKEA, but am longing for the day when I can make it happen. I’ve heard stories…Your family outing sounds so fun and definitely a memory maker! ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t wait to see photos of Miles’ room and the studio!

  • aliFebruary 9, 2010 - 1:02 pm

    lol! shopping at Ikea is never boring – I read every word!

  • annie pFebruary 9, 2010 - 6:07 pm

    it isn’t an IKEA trip without a van load, and of course not being able to tackle or get everything you need (want). So glad Miles did so well -it certainly could have been way, way worse. Can’t wait to see it all together – Ikea blogs are never boring to me!

  • BethFebruary 9, 2010 - 8:56 pm

    IKEA is awesome!!! Question – what app do you use for your iPhone to make the images look like old slides?

  • kerri banyasFebruary 9, 2010 - 10:59 pm

    I am still an IKEA virgin…and Ann Arbor is not that far from me…why don’t I ever make it over there?? Give Miles high fives for doing so well…I know from experience that shopping with kids is not always easy. Yay for him! My little guy would probably destroy the entire store

  • haley reidFebruary 9, 2010 - 11:22 pm

    oh my! i love ikea! and when every single time i try to take a self portrait with my phone i look like i’m lost! haha – you would think after years of having a camera on that thing, i’d get used to it – but alas! ๐Ÿ™‚ thanks for sharing your fun day!

  • Maya LaurentFebruary 10, 2010 - 6:13 pm
    1. You rock for posting about your IKEA trip! 2. I need more info on your purse. Looking for something like that. 3. Can’t wait to hear how the big boy bed goes.
  • marciaFebruary 11, 2010 - 10:57 am

    TOO CUTE!!! my kids LOVE going to ikea!!!! but usually we have an agenda so they don’t have time to play in the kid zone. one day, we’ll go to ikea for the heck of it, and let the kids play. it really is like a close/free disneyworld!!!
