Just a Little Breather

Jack at his first (but probably not his last) photo shoot yesterday

Hello, friends! At 4:27 AM last Wednesday, I gave birth to a handsome little devil named Jack Thurston Fraser.  Once he decided he was ready to make his entrance, he tried to race into the world as quickly as possible, making his birth a pretty wild event.  I'll skip to the happy ending/beginning when he arrived safe and sound, I was healthy and elated, and we went home to a nest full of loving family (how lucky am I that my sister and mom are here to share this experience with us?). 

Miya and I are so truly lucky to be working on such fantastic projects right now, but that combined with my new arrival means we're just a little swamped.  After gazing at Jack, breastfeeding him every couple hours, and helping Claire get to know her baby brother, there are only so many available hours during the day.  Then there's poor Miya who is working extra hard to pick up some of my slack.  I hope you'll understand if our posting is a little spotty for the next few weeks while we get in a new routine.   

Thank goodness we also have Meg to keep you well fed (did you see last Thursday's recipe for homemade gremolata bread crumbs?), the Jackalope girls to fulfill any cocktail needs you might have (like Bloody Marys), and Mary Ellen to share both kitchen basics (homemade ricotta anyone?) and design inspiration.

What may be lacking in quantity of posts will be completely overshadowed by the quality of what will be coming your way over the next few weeks.  In addition to our phenomenal contributors, there are so many projects we've been dying to share with you! 

I hope you all get the chance to cuddle up with your family and/or pets tonight--that's what I'll be doing.

lest anyone think that elisabeth is slacking, let's just say that she came to a shoot that was less than a week after giving birth and styled like a champion. there's no slack to pick up; just a lovely baby boy to fawn over and more awesome projects than we can shake a stick at.
