we love them :: aaron and samantha

he asked :: she said yes

telling the story

matthew gave a sweet toast

cheers to the happy couple

and of course the ring

nothing better than girlfriends to share in excitement

the crowd that couldn't be happier for these two

and now we are off to Hawaii with the Poladians as a family...of 10!

The BEST Baby Book

I think the baby book we got for Cooper is the best out there, so I thought I'd give a little plug for it!  

I got to know Julie through a mutual friend a few years before our first Little Arrow arrived, but I knew that once we were blessed with children I wanted to get a baby book from her shop.  Here are just a few reasons why I really, really, really like it!

• the fill in the blanks are relevant and timeless
• there is not an overwhelming amount of fill in the blanks
• there is a monthly calendar for the first year that makes it so easy to chart milestones
• you can add to it with all kinds of additional pages
• if I mess up a page I can order a new one and don't feel like I need to replace the whole book (which I would do because I am a little OCD at times)
• cute and fun designs

Here is the link to her Etsy shop!  Go buy one!

An idea for you :: I put Cooper's out at his birthday party with blank pages and everyone got to write him a note.  They will be in his baby book forever and I don't feel badly about not keeping cards!
