A Photo a Day.

Hello world and Happy Friday!

To give you a bit of a back story to these photos, our "Photo a Day" started on 31 January as we were flying down to Buenos. We originally intended to just take 1 photo each day during our travels, but then decided that every day was an adventure worth recording. Plus, we have a bit more traveling in our future this year.

So here are a few of our snaps from the year thus far.

Day #80. We decided to have a slumber party in our living room just because. We only lasted until 4:30 the next morning. #notasyoungasweoncewere

Happy weekend, y'all. More photos coming!

Meet our Thomasons.

We got home last evening and (embarrassingly early bedtime aside) have spent the last half day getting re-settled into our life. Grocery shopping, post office, un-packing our bags and apartment, business phone calls....

But I (Layne) snuck away this afternoon to check out the free coffee McDonald's is giving away all week (what? You know I like a deal) and actually spend an hour online. It's been awhile and I think my computer misses me.

It seems fitting for our first blog back to be a sneak peak of a family shoot we did with some of our Very Favorite People while we were traveling.

We are a bit behind on posting our shoots (something about "living in the moment"), but we'll catch up soon!

World, meet Mat, Aimee, Kindle & baby (bump).

We LOVE you guys! Here's to foreverrrrrrr.

He is just soooo good looking.

I love this series!

We did a whole series of Kindle's faces.

{Why, Hello Layne nostril.} BFFssssssss.

I mean seriously-can a family get any cuter?!

You Know You Are in Idaho When....

We've had an amazing week with the family in Idaho-slow days of conversation, catching up with a side of work. Just the way we like it. The is Jono's first official time in the Great State that is Idaho, and it feels as if we've both been seeing the place with new eyes. Some things we've discovered.

You know you are in Idaho when...

-there is excessive beauty everywhere. We had the most wonderful drive south earlier in the week to surprise Aunt D and Uncle Shawn.

-you find guns chilling in your bedroom....

-you are surrounded my animal heads and skins....

-target practice is the standard afternoon fare...

{meet Uncle Shawn & Aunt Deanne!}

-you get into a vehicle and the keys are still in the ignition from the night before {at least in small towns like Craigmont}....

We head out to Kona over the next two days, but we are so entirely grateful for our week in this place of peace.

p.s. We love these Thomasons. More photos of them to come!

And one last thing-

Happy Valentines Day and all That.

First of all, we are Very Happy to announce that our free wedding photography contest has at last come to a close for 2013. The winners this year are the very adorable Chelsea and Daniel. We are excited to document their upcoming September wedding. Stay tuned for more photos of these two!

Now you should know that we Grimes don't celebrate Valentine's Day as a general rule...but I guess we made an exception this year. Jonathan surprised me with a full set of swim regalia. {We got a giftcard to the pool for Christmas.} He didn't exactly say I looked beautiful...but I think he was proud that I will at least look legit?

A face only a mother could love? Hmmm.

I got Jono an adorable (if I do say so myself) book of date coupons. He even said we can take turns choosing the coupon we use each week-I think that meant he likes it.

Here are a few of our upcoming dates:

You can make and order your own date book here. So happy night, y'all. I hope you are getting your fill of chocolate and kisses.

Here are a few from us Grimes-xxxxxxxx.
