  • This boy. He’s got a heart of GOLD! He is sweet, shy, goofy, and the sweetest brother to his sisters (I just overheard him asking Rosie if she wanted him to "kiss her boo boo," he cried yesterday when Teddy left for Kindergarten without giving him a hug, and much to my delight, he throws out "I love ya"s regularly and for no apparent reason)! He wouldn’t intentionally hurt a fly, but he’s also a human wrecking ball, RUNNING through life at 100 mph, head first.😅 ⁣ And somehow, with record speed we are already here, on his first day of preschool!!⁣ ⁣ "Therefore... let us lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us RUN with ENDURANCE the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith." -Hebrews 12:1-2⁣ ⁣ #ohsweetjames, I love you so❤️ #andamoose🤣🤣🤣
  • My Teddy started Kindergarten today! Dad cried (you didn't hear it from me). Mom had already cried so much the past few weeks, there were no tears left. Teddy was too busy chatting up the neighbor girl at the bus stop to even be nervous!🤣 She insisted on bringing homemade gifts that she wrapped herself for her teacher and the friend she met for approximately 2 minutes at orientation, all packed up and ready to give in her new unicorn backpack.⁣ ⁣ A bittersweet day for sure. The past 5 years at home with her have been one of the greatest gifts of my life. But, she is persistent like her mommy, outgoing like her daddy, enthusiastic, tender-hearted, and full of joy and sass and spunk! I know she will be such a blessing to those around her!❤️⁣ ⁣ **ps. I take that back about not having tears left...😭😆
  • 7 days until my baby starts kindergarten. I’m not counting or anything, I’m just distracting myself with editing, trips to the park, eating my feelings at the @mnstatefair, and basically anything else under the sun to avoid actually addressing my feelings.🤪😅⁣ ⁣ That said, this gorgeous girl is on the blog.✨#mariellemariephotography #standoutforgood

  • Just sent out this maternity session, and of course, it got me thinking about my first baby. It’s so cliche to say, but it really does feel like yesterday that I was sitting at work, counting down those final days until my due date.⁣ ⁣ I swear it was just yesterday that I had her and spent my days watching The Office while nursing her on the couch.⁣ ⁣ But somehow, in a few short weeks, she’s starting kindergarten. And everyone asks us moms how we feel about this milestone..⁣ ⁣ Ya wanna know? Do you REALLY wanna know?⁣ ⁣ Because I’ll tell you...⁣ ⁣ I’m overwhelmed. I’m anxious. I’m excited and devastatingly sad, all wrapped up in one.⁣ ⁣ I can’t even talk about the fact that my days home with her are gone forever. So we’ll skip right past that and talk about my endless worries and questions. I have so many. They probably seem silly and ridiculous. I know it. But I haven’t done any of this since I was a kid.⁣ ⁣ Like, do I need to sign up for the bus? When will it pick her up? Will she sit all alone or make friends easily? Will she be scared? How will she know where to go when she gets off the bus? Should she bring all her supplies the first day? Will she eat anything in such a short lunch period? What if she starts choking and no one is watching? What if she can’t get her lunchbox open? What if she comes home crying and overwhelmed and doesn’t want to go back- how will I make her go again anyway? My baby. How will I do that to her. How will she go all day without me? HOW? How will she do this?⁣ ⁣ And more importantly, how will I do this?⁣ ⁣ THAT’S how I’m handling the fact that my first baby is starting kindergarten soon. Not well.⁣ ⁣ So if your staring this Kindergarten milestone in the face like I am, you’re not alone.⁣ ⁣ We got this... not because we’ll handle it well, but because God will.⁣ ⁣ I just have to keep reminding myself that, He’s got me, and more importantly, He’s got my baby in His hands.⁣ ⁣ And He’s got yours too.❤️⁣ #mariellemariephotography #momminainteasy #kindergarten
