feather-nest photography | The Woodlands and Houston newborn, baby, kids & family photography

Ok, I try not to bore you with stories about my kids, but I’m really loving them this summer (except  when I wish they would go away and leave me alone for 2 minutes – or a whole day;o)). 

I’m also really enjoying capturing all these images of moms and their babies (still more to come! way behind here). Sooo, I really must share this awesomeness from today:

We had a lunch date at where else?? Chick-fil-A! . . . with one of my old college roommates, Amy, and her kids. Her husband is a pilot and of course her 3 1/2 year old son shows up with his toy airplane in tow. He even parks it in the (napkin) hanger while we eat.

 awesome – right? I found it very polite.

 Anyhow, he’s talking, talking, talking like any good 3 year old (of course, in between all the talking, talking, talking we are also trying to process from my 3 year old). 3 year olds talk a lot. like, they must not need as much air, because it seems they just never really stop.

The subject? airplanes. (and his super fast new school shoes)

So, I interrupt his story briefly at one point and explain to my 3 year old that his daddy works on an airplane.

Me: “You know what? His daddy ”drives” the airplane! He’s the pilot; he flies the airplane.”

(expecting a normal adult response, like, “oh – that’s cool”)

Pressly: (stops licking her ice cream cone & in a right back at you kind of voice)

 ”Well, my daddy works on the yard.”

so there.

See?? Don’t you want one?? they’re awesome.

ALL. THE. TIME.

I love newborn pictures with the parents in them. Mainly because they can look at these and step outside of that very small box where the only thing they see are the endless round-the-clock-feedings and a new (and never ending) sense of “where the heck did my life go??” And, for a second, actually see that this is a very sweet time and you certainly will miss it.

But, probably not until it’s gone.

(and, for the record, my husband really does have a very nice job and he works really hard. both at his job and on the yard. AND  putting up with taking care of us three girls!)
