tribute to moms

In honor of mother's day, this post is dedicated to all of the moms in my life who, with each day, astound me with not only handling what I do believe is the hardest job in the world, but conquering this job with aplomb, grace, and dedication. Most importantly, thank you for filling my world with such cuteness!

My younger sister, Vicki, and her two sons, whom you've already met:

The older Drew, in still life,


and in motion (you've got to hear the giggle!),



and baby Elliot, with whom I'm hopelessly obsessed.


Alexis and her son Noel, an aspiring model who just had his first runway show


My long-time friend Cathy whose daughter Kaylen just turned one (btw, Kaylen is Korean)


Cheryl and her son Noah (very cute underneath the blankie)


And, most importantly, my um-ma, the most important woman in my life whom I have missed very much while I've been away. I love you, mom, and can't wait to see you in 2 weeks!
