AND then for my big finale…this is what we did all Christmas afternoon! Played with my nephews new “American Idol” PS2 game! You sing with the machine, into a mike and get critical remarks from Randy, Paula and Simon.

We had tons of fun! It’s weird how you don’t take a ton of pictures on Christmas (even though you want to for memory purposes) because, as the parent, you’re too involved in the present opening process!

Thank you to all our family for blessing us the way you do!

Today is a day of firsts!

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

I’m “assisting” a fellow photographer in shooting a wedding today! It’s so cool to be the one that gets to kick back and just be creative all day. We’re driving 3 1/2 hours north and it’s snowing pretty hard…this is going to be an adventure! Thankfully we’re staying over night so we won’t have to drive through the snow tonight. Safe is good! I’m hoping to learn a ton and be able to apply new skills to future weddings. Every photographer shoots so differently and our styles of interacting with clients vary AND YET there’s so much the same. Plus, learning is one of my favorite things to do!

The weirdest thing will be transitioning from being the one who has to call all the shots…I think I’ll be OK.

I’ll feature my assisting photos on a future blog. CAN’T WAIT!

Christmas report!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I can’t believe that I made it through the whole day without even turning on my computer!!!! It’s a proud moment for me.

Our Christmas was perfect! We celebrated with family and Adriah had a blast! It was funny to me that she would’ve been happy to stop after she opened her stocking! There was enough little toys in there to keep her busy all day! At her age (2 1/2) everything is amazing and “Wow!” I loved seeing her open her presents.

Matt and I didn’t do too bad either. Being pregnant meant he needed to be creative, instead of buying the usual clothes, he got me MAC gift sets of lip gloss and eye shadow! They are so pretty! I don’t know why but, I’ve always loved hair and make-up stuff. Probably because I’m drawn to anything and everything creative. MAC is my favorite…probably for the bold colors and cause it lasts forever!

Now everything needs to shift towards christmas clean-up! It’s weird how there’s so much build up and then…it’s over.

There’s lots coming up. I have a wedding this weekend and next weekend! I can’t wait to capture winter weddings. Aughhh…it’s going to be cold but, we have to get some outdoor shots! Then, after these 2 weddings we’re packing up to head to South Carolina for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will be sunny warm but one thing’s for sure…it will definitely be warmer then here! For all you brides who I’ll be booking consultations with…don’t worry I’ll be back on the 22nd of January! Can’t wait to meet with you.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Stay safe on the roads. Don’t forget to glance at the snow and breathe in how beautiful it really is…especially from your warm car or home!

I have great news for you! Well, it’s actually great news for me and I want to share it with you. As most of you know, I’m 22 weeks pregnant and we found out that we’re having a boy!!!! We’re so excited. We would have loved to have another girl but, we’re delighted with a boy.

Here’s a couple of pictures from the ultra sound! Don’t worry it’s not too graphic…just pictures of his hand in one and his foot in another:

Of course now we really need to get serious about finding a name for this little one! We’re working on it. If only we weren’t so picky…at least we have some time to figure it out! And lots of great suggestions from all of you!

Blessings through this season of love and joy! We are all blessed in one way or another!
