The first, celebrating with Aileen her 32nd and her brand spankin’ new engagement ring! The second, celebrating with Lainers her 30th and the awesome button she made for all of us. Joy, joy. :)

Happy birthday, guys! Wishing you guys love and joy for years to come!

How adorable is she? So adorable.

Special thanks to Kah-Mei for the blanket! Straight from Canada-land. :)

JV the 3rd. Last year I had the pleasure of photographing his mom’s belly session. Now I have the joy of photographing him for his first photo session. Jacob’s got his mom’s lips and his dad’s nose. The total package is just total sweetness. :)

She and I did some FontWerks stuff (I can’t wait for everyone to see!) and hung around Canada-land much to my very American joy.

Just a few highlights from the weekend:

  • Breakfast at IKEA is always the way to go.
  • Cam is a master pointer & Em thinks I’m a goof.
  • I was actually able to look Rob in the eye.
  • I am fascinated with maple leaves.
  • I cannot live without Activia.
  • Suspension bridges are thrilling! They’re freakin’ awesome!
  • I will, sometimes, root for Team Canada while wearing my Roots hoodie. Rarely. Ha!
  • Kah-Mei is in the belief that Canadian restaurants will not take my American Express.
  • Red velvet cupcakes are true everywhere.
  • The guys in the Canada Olympic ads are so damn hot.
  • And I love Christmas lights any time of year.

Thanks for a great weekend, Kah-Mei! Such a great time with such a great friend. :)

And it was completely my pleasure to capture these photos of Baby Noelle’s first with her mom and dad.

Thank you guys for such a fun time! Let’s definitely connect for Christmas 2010. ;)

Love its adorableness! Why did it take me so long to watch this? Have I been living in a cave? I wish I could marry NPH, but since he doesn’t swing for my team I’ll just dream about it. Now I can’t seem to stop playing the soundtrack. So funny and sweet to me.

You can get the movie and soundtrack here. Enjoy! [via iTunes]
