Word of the Day: Jump

So there's no words in this pic but I think it's so cute (although come to think of it...are we on the next week's theme now? I never know which day I'm supposed to change since we post the night before...well anyways..we'll just go with this)..

I actually got to do one of my four shoots that were scheduled for this weekend...the weather was super nasty yesterday and at the last minute this a.m., my other gal had to cancel, but that's ok....we got some fun shots at this maternity/child/family session....this little guy was quick so I just kept snappin and I was pleasantly surprised to see this pic...it's one of my favorites....I'll post more from my session soon....


Oh and just for the heck of it...here's one more of my favorites from today :)

Dinner!

I was supposed to have 2 shoots today but Mother Nature had other plans....it was in the 30s and rainy...yuck! This is the coldest it ever gets here, so nobody was feeling adventurous enough to go out for pics (I wasn't either)....so I got to stay in my jammies until noon and pea....and then went to Costco w/my parents and grabbed some lunch and got Turbo Tax...came home and did the taxes...then cleaned house and now at 8pm I'm finally getting some dinner...and that is why my pic of the day for today is so lame...haha...but I'm looking forward to diggin into my yummy sandwich while I look at other blogs and comment (my hubby and son ate oysters at the neighbors which I had no desire to do so I stayed home and cleaned)....I was bummed about having to reschedule my sessions but it sure was a nice lazy day...

Hopefully we'll have decent weather tomorrow so I can do my family and maternity shoots...keep your fingers crossed..

Thank you all for the comments the past couple of days...I've been working hard to get to all of your blogs as well :)

Word of the Day: Pal

Don't you just love when you have a crappy day (I mean week) and you come home and an unexpected surprise greets you in the mailbox? One of my really good friends who I haven't seen/talked to much lately (although I've been thinking about her a lot - if she's reading this).....sent me a card because she had heard through my sister that I was having a rough time. A lot of times I'm the one to do nice things for other people...send cards etc...so it's really nice to get thought of sometimes and get a surprise :) I'm super excited for the last weekend in February because my sister and my friend Rebecca (card sender) and I are going on a scrapbook retreat in Myrtle Beach with close to 100 other women...we go every year and it is a total blast....
So here's a pic of the card that made my day - please excuse the mess behind it...for some reason I thought the mess in my office wouldn't show up in the picture..haha

Have a great weekend everyone!

Word of the Day: Fun

Ok I'm back w/the POTD...finally...I've had a lot of things going on and the theme last week wasn't all that exciting to me so I didn't even pick my camera up....

I stayed home from work today (sick) but I also got to hang out with my little man....we had so much fun.....I snapped this pic this afternoon because these stuffed animals were all laying in the living room and I've seen pics like this before and thought it would be fun to get one of T....

Tonight we went to Chuck E Cheese for a little bit and had some more fun....I'm looking forward to this weekend....we're going to play games (which we've been doing a lot lately - just the 3 of us) and hopefully we'll have a movie night......and I have 4 photo shoots!! 1 family, 1 maternity, 1 mommy and me and 1 couple...fun!

Focus on...

Friends and Family.....I love them so much and want to be the best friend, sister, mother, daughter, cousin, wife, etc I can be :)

We had a baby shower today for my friend Ashley at work...my sister hosted it and I helped....the "gift theme" was books so I of course got her baby's first scrapbook (hard cover) super cute....and a gift certificate for a free newborn session..I can't wait to take pics of their sweet baby girl when she gets here...

Here's a pic from the pizza party shower....my friend is on the left, my sister is on the right...

TGIF!!

Focus on....

Having another one of these....

Well, sort of...(since this little guy is my nephew and not my son)..but...I pray that 2008 is the year we get to expand our family...I think I posted before about the medical problems I'm having (badly broken leg in May 06 that required a couple of surgeries and is still causing me problems and now a back problem for the last 5 months that they can't figure out..could be related to the leg)....so I'm in a lot of pain and having to take a lot of medication..(which does not go well with pregnancy)....unfortunately I also gained a lot of weight when I broke my leg and try to get the weight off when I'm in pain all the time and kinda don't give a rip is tough...so anyways...I hope I can get healthy and I can get my body back to baby making factory form..haha....so say some prayers for me :)

So back to the photo...this is my nephew...I bought him a new pair of PJs today and after we went out to dinner I brought him home to give him a bath while my sister ran a couple of errands..then I got to give him his bottle and snuggle him up and he fell asleep on me...Thank God for him...the pain of not having another little one yet is a lot easier to get through with his smiling face...isn't he cute?? :)

Focus on.....

what's most important...my relationship with the Lord.....

Specifically I want to learn more about my faith and read my Bible and Catechism more (I'm Catholic in case ya didn't notice)....

That's it for me....going to go read a few blogs and post and then sit down with my new Scott Kelby book that came today (yipeeeee) It's the Lightroom book (can't remember the specific title)...

Have a good night....and thanks for the comments...
