Wedding Today

Me, Wedding Photography
I photographed a wedding today. It was beautiful, and fun, Kevin and the boys did great by my account. Joey even took a bottle. The bride and groom just decided to get married a few days ago so it was rather thrown together, but it didn't feel like it, it was intimate, just a dozen people, myself and the Judge, oh and the limo driver. I rode a limo today!!! That was a first too! The wedding was in her home, and then we went to dinner at a local restaurant. It really felt good, and really turned out nicely.

Babies “Race”

Family Fun, Polls, Pregnancy
As of yet, no babies have been born (as of yesterday by most of the updates). In my poll I forgot one cousin who's due this month. There are TWO Laura's due this month, one is my MIL's Sister's daughter, the other is my Mom's sisters daughter. Actually Jenni and Laura are Sandy's Daughter and Daughter in law, Sandy is my mother in law Peggy's sister, and Kristin and Laura are Marlene's daughters, and Marlene is my Mom's sister... Following? Laura on my side is the only one who's already had a child if that makes any difference. There are a lot of women becoming mothers this month. When is the next full moon? A little off topic, but does anyone have any poll suggestions? I guess I have brain…

Did you get in trouble?

Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Me, Michael
So yesterday I picked up Kevin from work, he got in the car and I noticed he has something on his cheek and wiped it off. He said, "It's probably saw dust." Huh??? How does a "professional geek" get saw dust on himself at work? Well I asked, probably more with a quizzical look and cock of the head than anything verbal, and he said, "I was moving workstations, and I drilled a hole in my desk." So Michael pipes up from the backseat "Did you get in trouble?" As usual, it took me too long to put two and two together, then it took a few minutes to stop giggling as I explained that it was OK for Daddy to drill holes in his desk, because he had permission,…

My Birthday in Review

Family Fun, Me, Pictures
I had a pretty good day. We got up and took Kevin to work. On the way home we went to the grocery store and picked up some strawberries, cream and chocolate for ganache for the cake we were going to make, and some cheese bread and crab salad for lunch, and a few other odds and ends. We came home and enjoyed playing together, I got to watch some girly shows, and I got to get a shower, that never happens when Kevin isn't home, I had to wait till Joseph took a nap and then get the other boys doubly distracted between the computer and kiddy TV shows. Every time Aiden got whinny I pulled the "birthday card," and thankfully all major tantrums were avoided. Yay! My Mom…

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Family Fun, Me, Memories
I'm so excited, today is my birthday. No big plans, but I'm excited for this year. I'm 26! It's also kinda a sad day, it's the one year anniversary of my Uncle Lorin's passing. So last year, being a big milestone birthday, wasn't great, but I was releived that it happened on my birthday instead of his daughters or another cousin who was a lot closer to him, they both celebrated birthdays in the last few days... I know he wouldn't want me to be sad. And I wish my Aunt and cousins the best today. He's up there with their two little ones who've gone before. So, I don't have any special plans, but I just feel good, and I'm happy to be enjoying another year.

EDIT~  Hahaha, I guess they changed the article from the link, it was originally Clinton dropping out...  guess you can't always get exactly what you want...  LOL!  At this moment she's trying for VP <rollseyes>  I can't decide if I just want elections to be over, or if I dread the outcome...

Baby Hungry

Adoption, Baby Joey
ME. I'm baby hungry. Every time I see a baby, no matter what he or she looks like, their temperament, or if I know them or not, I just wanna cuddle them and give em love. I refrain from snatching babies out of people arms, or touching babies I don't know, but I just stare at beautiful innocent baby eyes, adorable fingers and toes and marvel at the sheer beauty that tiny people hold in spades. I hurt so much for all the "mama's without a baby" out there. I'm so glad we have Joey or this would mean some serious heart ache here. I have a feeling that he'll be my little baby long after the baby fat is gone, and I'll cuddle him either until he breaks my…

Last Day of School & Prayer Request, Please

Church, Family Fun, Michael
Today was Michael's last day of Kindergarten. We decided after talking with Michael's teacher that it would be best to decline summer school. He actually did very well with his grades other than his social grades, which we were fully aware would be a problem. So until 1st grade starts this fall, we're all together all day (other than Daddy who thankfully goes to work to take care of us). We're really looking forwards to this. So, today was a half day, surprise! Somehow, in all of the paperwork that's been sent home, and a reminder call from the school about something else that I hung up on once I realized it was about something I knew about, and very possibly reminded parents it was an early out day, I…
