I spent last night doing the final edits on one family's shoot. LOVE this shot! I had to blur the name on the little guy's bag because it's the name of his dad's company. Our shoot was over and they were walking away and I ran back towards them to get this shot. So glad I did.
And then I started another family's shoot. LOVE these kids!
And I love this job. :)

I'll be around more next week, I hope. Right now, I'm editing photos every spare moment I can find. I have had the most fabulous families entrust me with their family photos this fall and I'm loving every moment of it. :)
This little cutie gave me a run for my money - he was fast. LOL!

This was the only quiet moment we had yesterday. My whole day was thrown off by Emily's asthma flaring and two hours at the doctor's office with her. Followed by a million errands, sports, and a very sick Emily clinging to me through it all. Finally, I thought it was over. Tom and Andrew had gone to bed early because they weren't feeling well. Libby had turned her light off and Emily had just gone upstairs. I thought my day was over and breathed a big sigh of relief that the crazy-busy storm of a day was over. I looked behind me, saw the little punkin peeking at me and snapped the photo.
And then the calm was over and another storm took over. Emily's asthma cough got a bit panicky, we called in a doctor neighbor and the crazy took over again and the day - and night - got a little bit longer. Luckily, Em is fine - just in pain from all the coughing. We may end up at the doctor's office again today to get her some pain relief.
Most of this week has been like this - I plan out each day carefully and something happens to blow it all out the door. Crazy. And crazy-busy. As I'm sure many other mothers can relate to. There's nothing to do - you have to go with the flow and try to enjoy it as much as you can.
I'm just trying to find moments in each day where there's a calm during the storm to take a few deep breaths. Such as blogging right now. :) Let the day begin!

1. I'm sitting in the car on a gorgeous fall day at the stables while Libby is riding and hoping we can hold into this weather for a few more days.
2. Andrew is asleep in his seat and looks really uncomfortable!
3. Got a replacement iPhone today since my lock button was broken on mine. It's all shiny and new and I keep petting it. :)
4. Also ordered the new 4s. Siri will be here in 2 weeks. ;)
5. Sooo looking forward to conquering some demons with Emily in the next week or two. She is being very brave about some school issues and I'm beyond proud of her.
6. Christmas is less than two months away???????
7. My hubby is about to go into another trial and I already miss him.
8. Emily gets a tour of her high school in about 5 weeks and we have our first parent info meeting at the same time.
9. Wait?!?! High school?????? How is that possible????
10. My hubby got an iPad through work and I am totally regretting selling mine now. :p
Hope you're having a great Tuesday!

Today I am grateful for:
The soothing sound of the rain on my windshield while I sit and contemplate the results of an important meeting;
My wonderful hubby who supports me all the time;
My brave teenage girl trying to find her way through some tough times;
My sweet and sassy Libby who finally feels better after a stretch of migraines and never complained;
And my baby who is not really a baby anymore but who sat on my lap this morning and cried into my shoulder because he didn't listen to our "lights out" rule last night and is now sleep deprived.
Nothing else really matters as long as I have these things. :)
What are you grateful for today?

The poor crazy puppy isn't feeling so well today. He's had horrible fall allergies and was on meds for about 7 weeks. Unfortunately, I stopped them a couple of weeks ago and it must have been too soon. He has a double-ear infection, itchy eyes, itchy skin, and is generally miserable right now. Going to give him lots of love today (and a whole bunch of new meds).
Still haven't found the widdle stuffed puppy, by the way...

It felt so good to get behind the lens and do a family shoot today. I had forgotten how much fun it is!!!
My new favorite so far. :)

I'm at 5th-grade camp in the woods for part of this week with Libby's class. Here's just a tiny peek at the prep I have to do so that everyone else (ahem...Tom) knows what to do while I'm gone.
Thank goodness for Emily. ;)

The last time we saw the stuffed wittle puppy, he was missing an ear. Now, all of him is missing.
Hmmmmmm........why are your eyes closed, Sawyer???

We had a very full, very wonderful, beautiful fall weekend. Captured with my Instagram app on my iphone. :)
Early-morning soccer game
Followed by moving around the furniture to prepare for an epic UT-OU football game. Unfortunately, it was epic in a very, very bad way. There are no pictures of the aftermath.
Followed by a tree-house-warming party.
And the beginning of what seems to be the new norm - boy/girl parties on the weekends for the teenager. So, I gave her what will become a weekly speech for years to come - I figure if I start now, she'll be scared for a few years. ;)
Sunday brought an even more beautiful day.
Perfect for baseball - don't know why I didn't take pics of baseball, though. :( So, here's a layout from his first game a few weeks ago.
Followed by a movie night and crazy puppy snuggles.
Hope your weekend was just as wonderful. :)
