I Can't Wait Any Longer!

Okay, so I took these ADORABLE photos of Harlie the other week, and I was trying to wait to post any of them until a lot closer to her birthday, but I can't stand it anymore. She's so cute, and you all just have to see her. So here are three of my favorites. Enjoy!

Just Me

Hi again guys. I'm sitting here working on some senior pictures, and I always need something to do while a series of photos is opening up, so I decided to do a little posting. I found this on a digi-scrapper's blog, and I decided to have a go at it myself. I'd love to read any of yours as well!

I AM … a Christian, a mother, a wife, a goofball
I WANT… to look like Drew Barrymore
I HAVE … a baby girl (Harlie), and three baby boys (Spike the dog, Spooky the cat, Cassius the cat)
I KEEP … way too many "memories" that take up space in my house
I WISH I COULD … walk without tripping over my own two feet
I HATE … talking on the phone
I FEAR … scary things that I just know are there when the lights go out
I HEAR … every noise the baby and the dog make at night
I DON’T THINK … I would ever want to be anyone else
I REGRET … the time I can't spend with my family and friends because of work
I LOVE … my family and friends - with all my heart
I AM NOT … lazy..... or coordinated
I DANCE … to make the baby laugh
I SING … to make myself laugh
I NEVER … go a day without laughing
I RARELY … sleep well
I CRY ... at sappy commercials
I AM NOT ALWAYS … as patient as I would like to be
I HATE THAT … there are people in the world that don't know true love
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … many things
I NEED … to learn to relax
I SHOULD … clean my room more often
I HOPE ... that Harlie loves me as much as I love my mom

September So Far

Hi everyone!

September is going by so quickly! We just did our third wedding of the month - two more to go. I thought I'd get some of our recent photos up for you to see. My workload is still so heavy that I was up working until 3:00AM and I'm still nowhere near the end. But that's what it's like to be a photographer in the fall!

We had some family photos taken by a sweet friend of mine who is also in the photo business (Heidi Lushko), and I couldn't wait for you all to see them. She's so good!

Not much else to report - we don't have time for social lives this time of year. Mike and I celebrate our 4th anniversary this Thursday. I sort of forgot it was coming and scheduled a senior that day - we'll have to settle for an hour or two on the couch together before bed. Good enough for me, though!

Enjoy the photos, guys!

By the way, I just spent all this time describing the photos, and blogger deleted my text when I published. So you all can probably figure things out on your own. I will tell you that the birds in the last photo are the last set of babies that my sparrows had this year. They always nest on our porch, and I look forward to their return in the spring.

We're Still Here!

Hi guys. I wanted to do another quick post to give you a bit of an update. Nothing out of the ordinary (at least not for us) has been happening. I'm right in the middle of seniors/wedding season, and I'm totally swamped like I usually am this time of year. We have a wedding every Saturday this month, and one on a Sunday, and then three of the four Saturdays in October. After that, we'll have our break and I'll have more time to chat.

Mike has started his student teaching and he likes it so far. Only a few months to go and he graduates! Yesterday he told me he might want to walk in graduation, which was something he wasn't going to do before. I'm hoping he does. I'm so proud of him!

Harlie is growing growing growing and she's so close to walking. I'm not pushing the issue, because she's hard enough to chase around now. But it is kind of exciting to see her hit all of these milestones. We went to the county fair the other day and she loved all of the animals - especially the roosters.

I'll try to get some more photos up, but I'm sure we'll have new ones that I find more exciting by the time I get to write again. The scrap page above is a template by MandaGirl and the papers are all from Summer's limeade kit. Both of these girls have amazing freebies on their blogs if any of you are getting into the digi-scrapping.

That's all for now. Hope you all are having as good a life as I am!
