Anja DeWitt: New Life.

We are documenting three different stages of Anja's pregnancy, so in another three months we will take her six-month maternity shots. Last week they found out they are having a little girl!

Is she not the prettiest mother-to-be you've ever seen!

House Sitting.

A couple of weeks ago, Dexter's research professor asked us to house sit for a week. They had horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and donkeys - as well as a huge garden! 

The donkeys are the strangest, funniest animals I've ever been around. They have the personality of dogs... but are in a horse-like body.

If you've never met a donkey, you should know that they are quite sassy...

...and they love attention!

Next, meet Willam. He's an old dog that is seriously frightened of storms. 

Then there is my husband, Dex.

Handsome, right?

Next up, are the horses. The bay mare with the blaze was a feisty one...

...and messy.

Since my dad is a farmer, it was easy to have horses growing up. In fact, I've ridden horses since I was in third grade. To this day, my favorite part of a horse is their fuzzy muzzles:

And chickens were there as well...

Have you ever had farm-fresh eggs? If not, you should definitely try them. They are absolutely amazing!

Then, the light was so beautiful I couldn't resist snapping a couple portraits of Dex...

And I couldn't resist taking some pictures of my engagement ring in the garden.

If you were wondering, my ring is a champagne sapphire set on a diamond-paved, rose gold band.

I can't wait until I see the sun set like this again...

Before Dexter and I got married this summer, I lived with my best friend, Lauren, for the month of May. Her niece is one of the most BEAUTIFUL babies I've ever seen! I think you will agree...
