Hey y'all! I'm in Charlotte right now...visiting with family and my new niece and now I'm awaiting the arrival of my other unborn niece...lots of pregnant ladies around these parts ;)
These are the first shots I've been able to capture of Molly...I am obviously planning on shooting tons more in the coming week...!
Just a week ago...
Look at all that hair! So pretty...
You can tell from Molly's gaze that she already idolizes her mom
Sweet little yawn...
Cute.little.baby.sneeze.just.wanna.gobble.it.up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a sampling of Molly's impressive book collection...
And just to feel included...the family dog. Allie has been a graceful and accepting "older sister" with the new baby in her life...very curious about Miss Molly:

Yesterday Jackson and I went to the beach for a little bit and as I sat there for 3 hours and watched him diligently work on sandcastles, tunnels and seaweed bridges, I feel like I learned so much from him. I've really enjoyed his company and his excitement over the small things, his intuitive nature and his contentment...he seems so happy to just be in the moment and I want to remember that feeling...and I think he taught me how yesterday.
You know, some may say this is a crappy picture...and technically it is...but something about it makes it my favorite picture from yesterday...it seems vintage and innocent and it makes me really, really happy...
I have a few wedding posts coming up soon so stay tuned :)
Carol says:
Loved your post and love the beautiful pictures!! Thanks for sharing your time with Jackson. This is a week that he will NEVER forget - mostly because he is the main focus of your day!! Awesome!!

I wanted to blog just a few quick shots for my sister :) We had SUCH a great time yesterday...so great, in fact, that Jackson slept in the latest he has this week...almost 9am...wow!
The night before we left Mike and I set about 12 different alarms...when the first blasted off at 4:30am, I jumped out of bed and woke everyone up....I was sooo excited :) Mike commented he had never seen me in such a good mood for that early in the morning as I pranced around the house singing, "we're going to disneyland, hey, hey!"
As we drove down the Rincon, the sun was coming up behind the mountains and was glittering off the ocean. It was a gorgeous drive down and we didn't run into any traffic (how awesome is that?!?). We arrived at Disneyland as the park was opening and hit the ground running...I don't think Jackson knew what hit him!
A quick snack after the Indiana Jones Adventure...
The castle! Of course Jackson could care less about all the princess-y stuff, but I was excited to see the castle :)
Sleeping Beauty is my favorite...
I would wake up at 4:30am everyday to see this excited face:
annddd, we got it monogrammed! If you know me at all, you know I *love* monogramming everything :)
And I woke up this morning to find Jackson helping his Uncle Mike watering our plants and veggies:
This weekend is go-go-GO! Tonight we are going to the Dodgers v. Braves game....I LOVE BASEBALL! And we're planning on leaving early to watch hot Chipper Jones, I mean, to uh, watch batting practice (we even dug out our old baseball mitts) and then we're hitting up Legoland tomorrow!!!
Carol says:
Totally awesome weekend!!!! What a lucky little guy to get to spend all this fun time with his Aunt Whit and Uncle Mike!!! Keep us updated as we want to know who enjoys Legoland more -Jackson or Uncle Mike!! Great pics!!!!

I can't believe, Baby G is finally here and I'm not in Charlotte :( I cannot even describe how bummed I am...even though I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow, I still wish that I could meet Baby G first!
I've been on pins and needles all day waiting to hear the news after Heidi was induced early Thursday morning (EST)...I kept receiving updates (thank you Beverly!!!) "she's only 5cm dilated," and "now she's at 9cm" (which by the way she was at 9cm like allllll day, so a c-section was performed). Beverly (my oldest sister) just sent me a picture message so of course I am blogging about it!!!
Welcome to the world Miss Molly Jean, I cannot wait to meet you next week...maybe we can go shopping...oh, too soon? OK then, I'll just bring home a bunch of trashy magazines for us girls to look at (I'm such a great role model! ;) )
Molly, I know that I'm not there right now and even worse, I'm cheating on you with your cousin Jackson, but I will meet you soon....I can't wait....I haven't met you yet but I already love you to the moon and back!!!!!
Thank goodness for cell phone cameras, right!?
And not to slight the others...
Soo, Beverly is GOING TO KILL ME DEAD, but I have to tell the story...I can't help it :) Beverly and Ben announced their pregnancy on Mother's Day 2002...I was a high school junior at the time and was a bit miffed because my other sister found out first ;) I gave her a hard time about it because just a month or so before they announced she was pregnant, her and her husband took a lovely cruise around the caribbean...me, being my inappropriate self made jokes about "Oh, I know how it happened." Hehe, it still makes me laugh :)
Beverly planned on having a normal birth, she planned on having Jackson come when he wanted, but sometimes things don't always go the way you plan, so she too had a c-section. I was a high school senior when Jackson was born and informed my teachers that I would be missing a day of school because of the birth of my nephew/niece (they kept the gender a surprise)...of course, my teachers were a bit irritated but said "Ok, whatever." Sooo, 36 hours later, Jackson was finally born and I ended up missing a few more days of school than I planned...but it was so worth it! Mom and I stayed up in the waiting room all night long waiting to hear the good news and finally around 4:30am we got the phone call. Even though I was only 17 and could care less about "baby stuff" I was sooo excited to an aunt and literally almost every day after school I barged into Beverly's house demanding to see my nephew.
Jackson is 3 months is this scanned photo and I am at the ripe old age of 17...
And of course I have to tell Benjamin's story too! I had a fun job in college (besides photography!)...I worked at a golf course and this particular day I was manning the beverage cart and was driving around somewhere on the back nine when my cell phone rang...Beverly is not one to sugar coat things and casually mentions that she is expecting again...woohoo!
This time, a c-section was a must and Benjamin was scheduled to be born on a Friday. At this point and time in my life, I was a mechanical engineering major at UNC Charlotte and I had a major test the day Benj was scheduled to arrive...being my inappropriate self again, I asked Beverly if "maybe they could schedule his birth after my test?" I ended up finishing my test in 30 minutes (and acing it, too!) and then rushed over to the hospital to meet my new nephew. Pretty awesome, huh?
The day he was born....
My head is spinning, I truly can't believe how fortunate I am...I mean, seriously!?!?
OK folks, I'm off to bed since I'm getting up at O'dark thirty to hit up Disneyland!
Carol says:
Your posts about Molly and Jackson and Benjamin made me cry......with all the crazy things going on in our world today, babies are the biggest blessings in our lives. Congratulations Aunt Whitney!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tira J says:
Fun!!! Thank you for sharing your family with us! Hope you had an amazing time at Disneyland and that getting up at O'dark thirty wasn't too early for ya. LOL!!!
