Welcome to the world, Baby Maeven

Oh, Baby Maeven, at long last you are finally here. Your mommy (and a bunch of chicks) have been so excited to meet you. For weeks your room has been ready, your clothes have been laid out, and your big brother, Ryder, has been gearing up for the surprise of his life.

My friend Jennifer’s approach to parenting is just beautiful. Relaxed, easy, and effortless. If ever there was girl who could handle an army of children on her own, Mrs. Carpenter is that girl. With a new baby and a toddler in tow, Jennifer showed up with an open mind. Nothing seems to rattle this girl.

For the past fifteen months Jennifer’s focus has been little boy all the time. Superheroes, diggers, and dump trucks galore. She has embraced it to the fullest. That being said, the excitement she set loose in my studio turned princess-ing into a verb. Maeven has introduced a lovely pinkish hue to the Carpenter household.
