Getting out of the BLAH's.... finally....

So : If you've been within ear shot lately... {or keep up on Facebook, or had an appointment or session} you probably know that I've been dealing with a MASSIVE sinus infection that basically knocked me on my ass for a week. In ADDITION to being sick for about a week before that didn't help any either! My poor husband is glad I'm up and mobile and not so whiny, but I'm sure the constant nose blowing is getting annoying. I know it is for me! HA!

Anyway, I'm still alive and can't wait for this week to unravel because I have some cute 1 year 'Baby' girl images for you and this week we'll have a new friend in the Baby Portrait Plan, too. Sure to be busy!

studio 60's MINI Spring Sessions are planned for the week of March 8 - 12th, so if you're interested, get on the stick because they're booking quickly.... Only $49 and you get 25 photo cards for FREE! {Something for Easter?!?}

Other than that....

About 5 weeks left for the bun in the oven... I'm nervous, excited.... a little scared! I don't feel prepared, but I know I am. It's all in God's hands and I am sure His plan is good.

So : Really, just wanted to 'check' in with everyone! Take care and I promise there will actually be some PHOTOS in the next post!! :)

Where the green grass grows...

It's been pretty quiet around here lately. Well..... if you AREN'T counting the constant jabbering from a 2-year old and the regular day to day madness!

I've got babies graduating out of the Baby Portrait Plan which makes me sad, but a couple new ones to tide me over and the ones who are in the midst of their sessions.... It's so fun to see all the different ages!

My desk is filled with GARDENING books and notes about things that need accomplished this summer... we'll see how that goes! I'm starting to think of ways to get in my volunteer hours for being a Master Gardener this year. Shouldn't be too hard. I like helping people; I like to talk and I like to garden. SO! When you combine those 3 it doesn't take much effort. Right now I'm just wishing that I had my permanent garden space figured out, but instead we've been traveling around the yard trying to find the best place where there won't be future construction or traffic... Good soil... Easy watering... So far it's been kind of wash. I mentioned to my husband that the old farm house site would make an EXCELLENT area for a garden. We just need to move the house... Any takers?

I just long for the warm days. Sitting outside in the evening... Watching my garden grow. Sounds like I'm reminiscing, but really... this time of year I'm in a mental FUNK from not getting enough sunshine and it's like I can TASTE the summer coming! Busy, wonderful, warm, sunny summer! If you can't tell, I'm a complete summer child. Born in the middle of August when it's the hottest! I crave the smell of lawns being mowed and the vibrant green life all around me!

But enough about that! Here's one of my favorite images of the girls.... I can't wait to see this again either... Faith pulling Lilly in the wagon. For SOME weird reason or another, she likes to lie down in the wagon and stare at the sky. Funny. :)

February 1st!

So I'm sure you all knew the date already, but holy smokes! Wasn't it just Christmas yesterday?? Now I'm thinking about Spring and writing gardening articles! Geesh. I don't know if I could ever work at a magazine where you do things 3-4 months ahead of time!

Had a Dr. appointment today. In and out. Everything's good. Only 8 weeks to go. Oh. My. God.

Just got a great album in the mail today... Oh yeah. Love how different they all are! These are the albums that are included in *most* of the studio 60 Wedding Collections... uhm, yeah. Everyone should have one of these babies!

Notice the pretty wrapping it comes in... FROM THE COMPANY!
I love the color combo on this one! Matches the wedding perfectly.
Definitely something to display and since it's REAL leather, it's meant to be touched and looked at all the time.
Can you FEEL the texture? Yes, it's that cool.
Thick, sturdy pages. Don't be eating your Buffalo Wings whilst looking at your book and it will last you forever.These are available for ANY session, big or small and can be coordinated to your own whims and desires! Love them.
