Jenna's Grad

I love every opportunity to practise and improve my photography skills. I was so lucky to be able to practise on my sister-in-law Jenna, who graduated on Saturday. She trusted me to do her graduation photos, and I had a blast!!

We took the entire day to do the photos. We started off in St. Louis at the bridge, then at the river, and then we met at Mardell's and took tons of photos in her yard. Overall I think they turned out great. Hopefully Jenna will think so too!

I ended up doing photos for another girl in Jenna's graduating class... Those were a lot less formal, as the girl, Melissa, isn't real big on photos, so I did what I could do!!

The more I practise, the more confident I am becoming! Thank goodness for my online mentoring group for teaching me sooooo much in such a little time!

Maybe Jenna will let me do wedding photos when the time comes....

My Everyday.

I just turned 31. I have a baby who is about to crawl and now eats "real" food. I have a daughter who is about to start kindergarten. I have a son about to enter junior high school. Where did time go??









In one hand I feel so old, and I am left longing for my teen years. The years without worries. Without bills... In the other hand, I have never been happier.


I have a husband who loves me, and three beautiful, healthy children. I wouldn't trade it for the world.





I laugh when I watch Madison play. Her imagination is totally unbelievable. She plays with "my boy" as she calls him. (Her imaginary friend.) If something gets broke, or lost, and we ask her about it, she always replies, "My boy did it. He's bad, isn't he?"





She is constantly taking care of her baby, whose name changes everday...lol. She makes her nap, puts her in it's carseat for the trips to Grandma's, and always tucks her in at night. We even had to get her diapers... After taking care of her baby all day, one day, Madison turned to me and said. "I don't want babies when I grow up." I said, "What, you don't want to have kids?" She replied, "Oh, I want kids, but I don't want babies, they are too much work."


Now that's a smart girl!





I may not be working right now, and I may not go out a lot, or do many things, but my life is far from boring. I only need to sit and watch my children play, and I am entertained, and blessed. I know how lucky I am!
