No chalkboard update for our 30 Week mark, but a sneak peak photo from our maternity session works out even better! This past week was a busy one; Kaylee being a month out from competition, she now has dance 4 nights a week ranging from an hour and a half to three hours, and preparing for my Dad's 50th Birthday celebration out of town... there was definitely no time for the chalkboard. 

 

A group of about 20 family members and close friends drove north about 2 hours and met at my Dad's farm in Georgia, where we celebrated him turning 50! It was nice and relaxing spending time with family and grilling out. My sister-in-law brought her camera, and right before sun down, we rode around the property and took maternity photos. It was the perfect setting, and the lighting from the sun setting couldn't have been more beautiful. She done an incredible job, and captured some amazing family shots that we will be able to cherish forever. I'm so grateful for her! 

 

 When K and I were pregnant with Kaylee 8 years ago, photography wasn't a big deal. Therefore, we didn't get these types of pictures before Kaylee arrived. I knew I wanted to capture this pregnancy; not only to look back on, but to share with Asher when he gets older as well. I will share the photos from our maternity session over the next few weeks.
