Welcome to project life 2013 | weeks 26-28  What's this? Am I finally catching up on posting?! DARN RIGHT! Week 26 (Jun 24- Jun 30) left side: Plenty of little things happened this week so I used a "this week" card from the midnight set to highlight the details, alongside the 4x3 photographs.

I have so many beautiful maternity photos to share from three different local friends and photographers (um, yes, my baby boy is 3+ months old and I still haven't gotten around to posting them) and I thought I'd start off with these shots from Gaby J.
