Some photos from our time in Poland

Here are a few of our photos from our time in Polska. I have many more to share, but we've been taking so many, it's taking me a while to sort through them all. You can see them here and here.
I love the layered lattes at Cafe Dynia:

Julia chooses her favorite painting:

Eating at Jeff's American Restaurant

Mmmm, good coffee for me and cheerios snack for Julia. Plus, we saw
the sun behind the clouds today! Yay for sparse sunlight!

We made it!

We are in Krakow!

We made it yesterday evening and have been busy sleeping! We slept from midnight until 2pm today! We needed our sleep evidently, plus it was closer to our home time zone. We went to Babcia's this evening and of course, she had some great food. We had barscz with potatoes and corn on the cobb. Julia even ate it all and a ham sandwich! Luke and I also had some kremowka for dessert, which is puff pastry layers with a cream layer and a custard layer in the middle. It's so yummy- probably my favorite sweet in Poland!

We went by the mall on our way home to stop at the grocery store for a few things. (It's nice to have a grocery store in the mall!) We made it home and had a second dinner where Julia scarfed down some kielbasa and crackers. We also got to ride the new tram that leaves from an underground station at the mall. It was really nice!

We made it to bed late again tonight (it's 2:25am as I'm writing this), but hopefully Juila will sleep late again.

We put Julia to bed in the same room with us and tonight she was having trouble going to sleep.
She said, "Tata- We sound someone pressing keys on the computer."
Luke said, "I'm writing an email to a friend."
She replied, incredulously, "Really?!?!"

Just the tone of her voice was hilarious! She has been saying that a lot lately. It's really funny because it is at the most random times it seems.

I really wanted to share some photos of our travels so far. Here they are, let me know what you think! (Click on "Arriving in Poland"

Arriving in Poland

Lots of photos!

I've been busy taking photos lately! Here are some links to recent shoots!

I got to visit my good friends Kristi and John and Luke and I photographed their family including baby Kaylee! She is 3 months old now and as cute as ever! Here are some shots from their session: http://www.jessicaklimaphotography.com/20091004Kaylee  (I had a hard time narrowing it down!)

This is a sweet family that snagged me to take some photos before the dad was deployed. They were great in the super-hot-n-humid evening we had last week!

This is sweet little Noah! I just love his elephant Halloween costume! His mom wanted some in the pumpkin patch and I'm working on a cute Halloween card design for her now! Here are some from the Texas A&M Habitat for Humanity Pumpkin Patch on Rock Prairie. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=160188&id=655336272&l=17499f2f18

I went back to the same pumpkin patch tonight and had the honor of capturing our friends' proposal! She was totally surprised and I love her expressions. I wish you guys all the best! Here are a few from their eventful evening. (She thought she was just getting to have her pictures taken in the pumpkin patch with her sweetie!)

Good night everyone! Have a great weekend!

New princess shoes...

Julia was so excited this week to get princess shoes! Here are a few
shots that I grabbed as she was running around the kitchen. Notice in
the first one that both feet are off the ground! They are flying
shoes!

Justin & Leslie

I had the great honor of capturing this awesome couple a few weeks ago. Leslie and Justin are expecting baby Eden at the beginning of December! They are some of our closest friends and I'm so glad I was able to spend some time with them, doing the things they love and capturing this special time in their lives before it all changes once baby Eden arrives! Justin likes to play guitar and Leslie is so laid back, not to mention, gorgeous! Here are some (it was hard to narrow it down) of my favorites.
They love to hang out on their back patio.
Justin has several guitars and he likes to play anytime he gets together with friends. I love how the reflection of Leslie's belly looked on the finish of the guitar.

I love these of Leslie, she is gorgeous and I love her beautiful eyes!


Justin and Leslie are known for their boots so we had to get a shot with them and I know they have plans to get Eden her very own pair very soon!
Thanks so much guys for letting me take these photos! You two (3 soon!) are truly blessings in our life!

5 things I love about Julia this morning

1. How, after holding an ice cube, she had to go wash the "cold" off of her hands.
2. How she asked for me to make her some "T-P-I-C" and then rephrased it as, "Can you make me some cinnamon toast".
3. How she tries to nibble the cinnamon sugar off the top of her toast but ends up eating it all anyway.
4. How she claps along with the ants in the movie "A Bugs Life".
5. How she snuggled in bed this morning and put one arm around each of our necks and told us she loved us.
