I loosely follow there guidelines and they encourage this. My kind of sewing.</p> <p>I really wanted Ruth to have something special to have when I went into labor.  I sprayed this angel with my  Jo Malone Orange Blossoms perfume ( I know this is a classic Trudi (mom) moment) but I know she was glad to have it when I left on that fateful/wonderful night.  I think I was more worried about Ruth than anything and I just wanted her to feel close to me and her new baby brother. </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o0z0j7eo1qzg7fx.jpg"/></p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23845594610http://danabrewer.com/post/23845594610Sat, 26 May 2012 22:11:23 -0700RuthSewing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nywmuD7x1qzj727o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I am never going to get through all of these photos because all I want to do is play with them.  Ughhhh!!!

When you spend every day with someone you don&#8217;t see how much they change. I am currently embarking on a big project, cleaning up my iPhoto library and came across this picture of her and it just melted my heart.  I love love love (lots of love) this lil one.  She is the world to me. </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ny43mEwr1qzg7fx.jpg"/></p> <p>Seriously, that nose and her cute lil&#8217; legs have always been my favorite things about her.  I look at this picture and see the little baby that mesmerized me and the woman she is going to be one day.  I think Ruth has always been an older spirit.  This child is always a few steps ahead and I am always trying to make sure I am still a few steps ahead of that.  Not always, but I am trying.  She is smart one!  Anyways, this picture just did me in.  I still have 10,388 (ridiculous, I know) photos to go through, so I am SURE there will be some more of her that I will post.  </p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23842618556http://danabrewer.com/post/23842618556Sat, 26 May 2012 21:14:49 -0700Ruth<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4n4wnEzMu1qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mommy daughter date today (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23806390330http://danabrewer.com/post/23806390330Sat, 26 May 2012 10:36:23 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4m7c26sX21qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Ahhhh date night with my love (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23781637961http://danabrewer.com/post/23781637961Fri, 25 May 2012 22:31:14 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4cmp0zfG81qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Kestersons cruising the hills of SF (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23453727273http://danabrewer.com/post/23453727273Sun, 20 May 2012 18:27:00 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m48x9mER2N1qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bedtime (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23322541747http://danabrewer.com/post/23322541747Fri, 18 May 2012 18:24:57 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4870aA7n51qzj727o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>It is just one of those mornings where the coffee can’t stay in the cup and it is also not making it into my mouth. ;(</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23293789617http://danabrewer.com/post/23293789617Fri, 18 May 2012 08:57:46 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m45g8rBg921qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a></p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23213188714http://danabrewer.com/post/23213188714Wed, 16 May 2012 21:24:27 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4590qMOh41qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Teething monster (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23203535902http://danabrewer.com/post/23203535902Wed, 16 May 2012 18:48:25 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43dv9SlIN1qzj727o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Best thing about my garden so far…fresh bouquet oh herbs in my window</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/23140340811http://danabrewer.com/post/23140340811Tue, 15 May 2012 18:37:57 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NScs_qX2Okk?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>I don’t normally put up to many videos but this one is great!  My dear friend Roni sent it to me. She is a hard working stay at home mom too.  I don’t know why but this video hits a spot in my heart that is so often overlooked and pushed away.  Mom’s don’t want the glory they just want to see that amazing look on their child’s face when the achieve their dreams.  It is all those early mornings, thousands of loads of laundry, sacrifices that no one will ever know, that makes this moment of seeing your child in pure happiness, all worth it. </p>http://danabrewer.com/post/22452248346http://danabrewer.com/post/22452248346Sat, 05 May 2012 09:21:47 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37ht7Aojs1qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bride in the making (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://danabrewer.com/post/21998978874http://danabrewer.com/post/21998978874Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:19:54 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37haqmZSy1qzj727o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pink champagne found.
