INSPIRE by Cassandra Dieterle Photography

INSPIRE- A Tuesday afternoon conversation has led us to this...life IS short, how short we don't know so figure out what inspires you to grow and live each moment to the fullest! For us being inspired is what keeps us going, it's what encourages us to be a family, friend, find new angles, go new places, meet new people, and at the same time appreciate our past! Whatever the inspiration may be we wanted to share it with you and just maybe it will inspire you too! What inspires you?

Well as most of you know I am on maternity leave right now, but that will soon be coming to an end. I have been spending lots of time with little Grace working on the feeding and sleeping schedule. Grace is not to fond of the sleep thing and wants to be held constantly while awake, which makes it very hard to get anything done!
She is growing more by the day and starting to be more interactive with you, smiling and she has what is the begining of a laugh when she finds something funny; however it sounds more like she is choking or gasping for air!
Brooklyn is adapting well to being a big sister. She is very good with Grace and wants to help with everything "but the poopy diapers!"
The break has been nice but it's almost time to get back to my other love...PHOTOGRAPHY!
Some snapshots I have taken over the past few weeks, we of course will post more as they come along!

Yes? Grace is a very alert baby!

This is the pick me up look!

Well we all waited and waited and waited and finally... may we present... Gracelyn Olina Dieterle! She weighed 7.04lbs and was 19 inches long. She currently has blue eyes and very blond hair, but as we all know that can change! We are all doing well, Brooklyn is being a great big sister to Grace, giving her lots of kisses and hugs when mommy and daddy allow :) those of you with more than one I am sure you understand this part! IF it were up to Brooke she would be carrying her around in her baby doll carriage and carriers and eating plastic bottles and "air food" (that's the pretend food we eat when Brooke cooks us dinner!)

All is well...

Our Girls Grace and Brooke
