Addis turn

Today was warmer and so she decided to come out side with me...have several cute ones but this was my initial standout favorite....

Mother's Day

We had a wonderful day...lounging, projects, and eating - I am so full! Managed to take a few photos today - was supposed to take some of addi as well but she was cold and didn't want to come outside...maybe tomorrow :)

Love to you all - hope you had a wonderful day.

MIA

Can't believe it has been over a month since I posted here. Life has surely been busy. work, photography, vacations - May just flew by. I am staring to catch up - still have much to do but summer break is a few weeks away and life will slow down a bit.

I am posting a few pictures from the Mommy's Tea at Brytons' preschool. He graduates on the 19th and then we will have a kindergartener on our hands. I am super excited to have them both in the same school next year - what a relief that will be.

Also some edits - always so amazing to me the transformation you can make to a photograph. I will post more later...love to you all. ~ michelle

Randomness

Life is still busy - the days going by faster then we can keep track of. Trying to keep posting images but I realize that days have gone by...eeek. Here are a few - I am currently working off 2 computers so I have pictures everywhere...hoping to have the transfer all done soon. Look like a crazy person with so many computers on my desk :)

Hope you were able to see the birthday pictures :)

Me and the kids

Very rarely do I get a picture of me and the kids that I truly like - but this one is a keeper.

Park

The kids came with me on a recent photo shoot - they played while I chased a 2 year old around - who really had no interest in having her picture taken. It was chilly and breezy but in the end we all had a good time.

New beads :)

So happy that I found this bead vendor! Have to order a necklace for Addi as well - she loves them. They will be great for Birthday presents for her friends as well :)

Random

Life is so busy - just wishing for a day where I have nothing, and I mean nothing, on my agenda....sigh - don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. Starting my 4 nights in a row tonight - makes me sad just thinking about it. Not sure what I got myself into with this nursing stuff...ugg. Bought a new lens and so far am enjoying using it - need the ultimate test session with a newborn to make sure I really like it - hopefully next week :) Headed to Vegas again the first of March for my big photography convention - excited to learn some new things and shop of course :)
Will keep you posted....in the meantime - here are a couple pictures of your two favorite people.

Valentines

Look who is getting to be cooperative??!! Finally - he was so excited about making Valentines day bookmarkers for his class this year - so happy to have them all done with a couple weeks to spare! Hope everyone is doing well - just crazy busy around here as usual. More soon....Love to everyone!

Christmas Eve and morning

Just a few picture from our Christmas eve and morning - there are more of course but this is all I have converted so far. They were both very happy with all their presents - santa did a good job :)

Gymnastic Winter Showcase

Participated in the gymnastic showcase this morning - so proud of both Addi & Bry. They have done so well for just having started in September. January 1st Addi will be joining the Level 3 team - our goal is to compete in our first meet the fall of 2014. She is very determined and seems to love every minute she spends there. The coaches are amazing and it is just an overall good environment :)
