Waking up with Friends | Day 23 of 33 Sunrises
How are you this morning? What are you up to this week?
In 2 weeks I will be moving out of my place and leaving for Israel for my sister's wedding. As my to-do list grows it's a nice reprieve to be giving myself this designated quiet time in the morning. It's a waterfall on my parched soul!! Being on day 23 does feel like it's become a habit. The nights I have Emiliana I say before she goes to bed "Where do you want to see the sunrise tomorrow morning?" and sometimes we can go there but mostly it's just knowing that I'm creating these memories with her.
Having friends along is even better. This is my darling friend Kris. I photographed her and Eric's wedding so many years ago and even prior to that photographed for her husband's business, The Peached Tortilla.
Kris has a gentle spirit. Niko is not unlike his mother, a happy little guy. I'm guessing with the number of times I gazed into his deep brown darling eyes and said "I'm going to take you home" and he smiled right back at me that Kris was probably freaked out she would be driving home with an empty car seat. haha But you know. Children are such a blessing. Watching my friends have babies (clearly one of the most difficult things to do in this lifetime) is a beautiful thing too.
So.... not only was my camera being weird this morning but my phone in every single one of my apps wouldn't take a photograph! Ugh. So much disappointment. Thankfully Kris is an amazing photographer and designer in her own right (she photographs for Peached, runs the social media and designed their website! She has SO much talent!) She snapped these.
Thank you lovely Kris and sweet sweet Niko for joining Emiliana and I this morning! A lovely morning indeed!

What a noisy morning.
Cars and trucks and birds and runners and talkers. What a difference from Zilker Park.

Waking up oh So Late | Day 19
(Be prepared for the longest run-on sentence you've ever read.)
I went to bed at almost two last night. I had a few things I had to finish up and by golly I was not going to go to bed until they were DONE! So I did those things and my phone was at 11% and I currently only have one charger that really works with my phone and it's in my car so I set my alarm and then another back up alarm which I call my "oh shit" alarm to ensure I would pick up Emilia from her Daddy's at 6am because he had an early work gig but my phone died sometime in the night and at 6:30ish I hear a pounding on the door, the type of knocking that makes it's way into your subconscious sleep and then you wonder if you're dreaming or is it in real life and that's when I put two and two together and I had a real "OH SHIT" alarm in real life!
Anyway everything ended up OK but needlesstosay there was no type of sunrise seeing this morning. So ironic since I just sent out a newsletter last night (one of the things on my to-dos) talking about the #33Sunrises project. Of course...
C'est la vie. I shake it off. I shall rise tomorrow with intention.
This is all we can do!
