Cruz's newborn photoshoot



This is my absolute favorite!



Aww! I just love him and want to eat him up all day!

I got lucky and had someone come all the way from Germany to take pictures of my handsome little man.  Thank you David, I love them all! And you and Teresa! <3

While munching on crackers and watching her brother chilling in his swing, Elli says,

"My brother can't eat crackers, He can only eat boobs."

Meet Hamilton Cruz Nunez!

Our sweet little Cruz came into this world on Sunday, August 22, 2010.  He was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long.  Everything went good and we are happily home!  I feel so blessed that he is healthy and so perfect!  He was SO worth it! 

Maybe in the next couple of days I'll write a more informative post.  Right now that seems like too much work ;)

Elli's Birthday Party!!... and a bit of other news...

Some pictures from Elli's birthday party last Saturday!

The pretty birthday girl!!

Our peeps.

I was going to put a little more effort into this post, but my adrenaline is pumping and I'm having a hard time focusing. We did Elli's party 2 weeks early so that 1: I'd feel up to doing it, 2: I really wanted to have the baby early. Turns out I get to have him early! I'm being induced at 7:30 tomorrow (Sunday) morning!!!! That's why my adrenaline is going. I hope I can sleep tonight, although I'm not really counting it.

Stay tuned for there will be pictures up of him hopefully early in the week!!

TRIN'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

My Trinity has been beyond excited to start school, and that day finally came! She had her outfit all laid out the morning before and everything all set to go in her back pack.


I figured that, being 8 1/2 months pregnant, this day would be extremely emotional for me. To my surprise it wasn't. I kinda feel a little guilty that I didn't even tear up as I walked Trin to her classroom and said goodbye. When I got to the car I thought maybe then I would cry. Nope. I almost felt like Cameron Diaz in 'The Holiday' in the scene where she's broken up with her BF and tries to make herself cry-- no tears came. The whole school thing just seemed kinda normal.



Elli and I went to the grocery store after we dropped Trin off. I love shopping with only 1 kid! After the store and every 10 minutes, Elli would ask, "Can we go get Trin now?" She feels a little left behind I think. But we had fun making rice crispy treats together to have for Trin as a "Welcome Home From Your First Day" treat. I'm really looking forward to getting some quality mommy and Elli time. Even if it only may be for a couple weeks, then she'll have to share me with her brother. :)

Trin Gushed about her first day! She has one of her good friends in her class, which hopefully doesn't mean they'll get into trouble together. They both are little chatterboxes! Trin told me a conversation that they had at school:

Desi: "We should stay here forever!"

Trin: "I don't think your mom would like that, let's just come back tomorrow!"

I can't believe that my first baby is already old enough to go to school! But I guess it's a good thing because she was so ready and she's needs something constructive to do everyday. I know she's gonna love every second!

I WILL HAVE MY OWN BOOTH TOO! Well I'll actually be sharing one with my Aunt Susan. I will have all my headbands and clips, and my Aunt makes all kinds of amazing, unique jewelry! My mom has also made the CUTEST aprons and rings that are made from vintage buttons and vintage earings that will be there as well!


Mention that you saw this post and I'll take $2 off your purchase of a headband or $1 off a clip!


SEE YA THIS WEEKEND!!!

What's in a name?

I have been selling my fabulous headbands and clips for around 6 months now, and never really thought about having a brand name for my stuff. I figured that I should come up with something since I'm going to be doing a big display for the 24th of July, and not a minute later the PERFECT name came to me. My brand will be called...

rae of sunshine

This is one of my nicknames that my parents have called me almost my whole life and Rae is my middle name. That's why it's so perfect! It's me. :)

Always, except this weekend, I have a huge selection for sale at Jill's Chic Retreat in Snowflake, and this weekend I have all my stuff on display for sale at:

The Old Church Boutique on Center Street in Taylor!!

Something fun to check out this 4th of July weekend! I have lots of fun RED, WHITE & BLUE! You know you love to look Patriotic! And if you don't, there's tons of other stuff to choose from. If you like the headbands but you don't see anything that is perfectly you, just let me know and I'll custom make one!!!

And if you're not from around Taylor and you see something you love, just comment and leave your email and I can mail it to you!
