Keri Russell @ Film Independent’s Spirit Awards

Keri Russell arrives at the 2008 Film Independent’s Spirit Awards held at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday in Santa Monica, Calif. She wore wearing Jimmy Choo “Isis” shoes.

Earlier this week, Keri, 31, shared about the triumphs and challenges of motherhood: “It is truly overwhelming all of the new things you feel being a parent for the first time, not to mention trying to work at the same time. And I would say everyone kept telling me that those first 3 months were going to be hard but then you’d get over the hump and [now] I know what they meant. Because right after that, the baby starts smiling and laughing and having more exchanges with you and its easier to read what’s going on with them. But yeah, those first smiles and laughs … they’re everything.”
