I won't make any excuses for my lack of blogging lately, but seriously I just had a baby ;) Now that I have finally settled in to a somewhat normal routine I can again focus on work and all things wedding! To keep up with some of the latest wedding trends and just for the sake of knowing whats out there, I love to visit wedding blogs to see what all the brides are into. One thing I have found in doing that though, is that there are SO many blogs that it really can suck the life out of you and be overwhelming to the point its just not fun anymore. So when I was asked to do help out on a shoot for The Wedding Yentas I was delighted! I love the fact that there are bridal blogs out there geared for a specific bride, that can help you with cultural traditions. Being Armenian I know that this is exceptionally important and finding resources that cater towards a more modern bride can often be difficult. The Wedding Yentas is geared towards the Jewish bride and it was started by my good friend Nicky and her business partner Alison. They have some really great information on their blog so definately check them out. This shoot was done to show off some boleros for those brides that need some coverage during their ceremony but want to wear a strapless gown. The Boleros where provided by Shauna's World and are absolutely beautiful!

I know I don't do a lot of personal blogging, not sure why or when I stopped but here's one to make up for all the lost time! Its long so if you choose to skip down to look at pictures I wont hold it against you. ;)

When I first found out I was pregnant I was overjoyed, I always knew I wanted another baby and secretly hoped for a boy (even though I spent lots of time telling others it didnt matter) I was also terrified. The first thing I thought of was HOW would I ever love another child as much as I love Alex? Did I have anything left? What if I didn't bond with this baby like I did with Alex. I'm an only child so having a new person in the house was never something I experienced, and I never knew what it was like to welcome someone else home. FOREVER!

Well baby Steffen is home now, and he has taught me that the heart is vast space where there is ALWAYS room! We welcomed Steffen to our home and our hearts on March 28th, 2010 at 8:18pm. I won't bore you with the details but lets just say things happened quickly. One minute we were preparing a shrimp BBQ the next minute Im in the hospital delivering, and within 24hrs I was back home! Im owed a fabulous shrimp BBQ at some point!

Then I came home and read all the wonderful messages that were left on Facebook and Twitter for me and my family. I want to thank everyone for your well wishes, they were truely touching and its nice to feel like you have a great community of family and friends around you. Some that I have met and some with whom I have only exchanged a few words but all equally touching. Thank you friends!

We are home and adjusting well. Steffen is of course, to us, perfect in every way. Alex loves his little brother although he did mention he doesn't like the smell of baby, and thinks that the whole belly button thing is totally gross, but he will get over both Im sure :)

Here are a few shots I took yesterday. I was in tears processing these pictures because they warmed my heart so much. I love these boys (all three of them) with every ounce of my being.
