looking forward to camping, but...

...packing is stressful. I dislike packing.

sleep betrays me

I slept a couple hours.

Now I cannot sleep.

I am tired.

I am frustrated, anxious, sad, mad, annoyed.

No one asked me.

I am trying to get over it.

I feel ill.

Tomorrow is going to suck.

My tomorrow starts in about three hours.

Josiah's future wife?

Josiah keeps telling us...

"When I grow up and have a farm and Ava's my wife and we have ten kids..."

It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

This is a picture of our friend Tiffany reading to Ava, Adaya, and Josiah.

A picture or two or three or...

In case you for some odd reason haven't heard...

I'm going to be an Aunt again!!!!

It's the first time I get to be an aunt to an infant. I'm super excited. I love my nephews, but there is just something about this one since it's my side of the family. My big brother is a daddy! Check it out!

seriously?

My baby is allergic to sunscreen.

What's your baby allergic to?

Are you kidding me?

Just got home from the zoo with friends. Flash with fresh batteries, check. Extra lens, check. Camera, oh crud. Yep it got left at home, plugged into the computer.

Because they are too cute

We went out to my grandparents' house today. I got a lot of good shots, but this may be my fav. Love the interaction. I just wish he wasn't wearing that hat.

Off to Kenya

Our friend, Ashby, is heading to Kenya. She will be gone for five weeks. Please visit her travel blog and pray for her journey. If all goes well, Visible Grace will be an NGO and she will have made a down payment on a piece of land, by the time she returns. This evening she picked up copies of my drawings and photos of the model I made. Hopefully, she will also have an estimate for phase one costs when she returns. Her plane leaves early tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. She will be missed. We are excited for her as she travels to the place where her heart resides.

"southern bell grown up"

I finished Adaya's 6 month photos the other day. These are a few of my faves. Wes said the first is,"Just so grown up." I responded, "Southern Bell, grown up."

He made my day...

and I just wanted to tell him and you.

I was on the phone with my husband yesterday. He called wanting some info about what photo training I had had. He had been chatting with a coworker of his who was admiring my photographic skills via his digital picture frame. It's seems a bit odd that Wes had asked this guy about cameras before I got my first one and now he is asking advice. Anyway...

I mentioned something about my new camera, that it was a family investment for photo documenting our family. Wes laughed and said that we already had plenty of camera for that via the d70. Then he said that the d300 was an investment in my professional photography. After we got off the phone, something occured to me.

He believes in me. That means the world to me.

sick again

My little boy is sick yet again. Thus, I am stuck at home.
