Family Photos

I was lucky enough to have a co-worker who also is a photographer! So this past Saturday evening we went downtown Boise and had some family pictures taken. Pierce did ok. It was colder outside that night and I don't think he liked that. Plus there was just a lot going on and he was SO tired! You will be able to tell by some of the pictures. He also looks SO old in some of these, but he was only 1 month old!

{These are screen shots, so of course the actual pictures are cropped better}

Newborn Pictures

We were lucky to have a high school friend of mine take amazing newborn pictures of Pierce. He was 17 days new at the time. We sure discovered how much harder it is with a 17 day baby vs a younger one. Pierce wanted us to just leave him alone so he could sleep while a 6-8 day old baby would have slept right through it!!! Either way, she did a fantastic job. Thank you Kristin Labrum Photography!!

4 Generations

What an amazing picture we were able to capture: 4 generations of the Moore Family. 

With how the height keeps growing... I wonder how tall Pierce will be!!!

And a few other family pics.

Meeting Grammies and Popo

18 days new and Pierce met his Great Grammies and Great Popo. 

I must say he did a fantastic job!! He knew they were family right away... so comfy in their arms!!

Nursery

Pierce's Nursery is now complete!!!

The homemade mobile up close... I still LOVE it!

And a close up of the homemade crib sheets and skirt by my Mom. 

My mind was set on owl print when we were looking at decorating the nursery. Three stores later we found it! And found a fantastic one!! I couldn't be any happier with our choice. And then the orange and blue colors with it are even better! I am so glad my Mom is good at sewing!

Here is a better picture of the entire nursery.

And of course the other side of the room with a basketball hoop!!! Go figure!!

 And our owls all around the room... LOVE THEM!!! I just hope Pierce does and they don't scare him!! 

 The room is perfect! I couldn't be any happier with how it turned out. Now it is time to get Pierce home and introduce him to his new room.... come on Pierce, come introduce yourself to us!!!

Tree for Nursery

I know yesterday was only my first official day of maternity leave... and already I was bored!! So I decided to paint! I wanted to add something to this corner of Pierce's nursery and yesterday was the day I decided what to do. I wanted to put a tree! It only seemed fitting with the owls in his nursery.

So here is the blank space.

End of day 1 left me with the outline of the tree... kinda boring... 

Much better!!! It is complete! Well except for the blue owl... It will be replaced by a black one. 

I love it!!!!

A closer view... 

Now what project to start tomorrow.... 

COME ON PIERCE... 

MAKE YOUR PRESENCE CAUSE MOM IS GETTING BORED ALREADY!!! :) 

Maternity Leave has Started!

Since we are past our due date, my work calendar is clear! This means it is time for my maternity leave to start. There is no reason for me to reload my calendar at this point and start new projects... plus, I AM EXHAUSTED!

Now the test is to see what I will fill my final days with before I become a Mom!! Luckily Scottie is home too so we will get some time together before our lives completely change....
