well, i'm trying anyway, in spite of the nasty cold i have. i hope with all the vitamins i take, that it will move along quickly and be gone. when i'm sick, i generally just carry on as usual, other than trying to warn people i'm in contact with, that they may not want to be around me!
today is another full day, so i hope i can do what i need to do and rest when i can. tonight is the kickoff of our favorite fall tv night! so i know i'll be relaxing tonight. my only complaint is that all the best shows are on thursday night-i wish they would spread it out a bit. tom and i will watch survivor for sure, and hopefully i can tivo "the office", and then i'll go up to my studio and watch grey's, while i work on some projects. survivor is the only show (other than nebraska football), that we watch together...so i can't give that up!
this past weekend, we had lots going on, so i took lots of photos. i'm sort of pleased that i've continued to hand my camera off from time to time. saturday, tom golfed with friends, and then all of us girls met up with the guys at a little bar/grill out in the boonies, called "big fellas". it was an experience. i don't think we'll be going back any time soon! but it was great fun just experiencing it with good friends!
on sunday, we celebrated jake and alexis' birthdays, after jake's football game.
alexis' gave us a little viola concert. so, so sweet. love the grainy images.
just a few favorites from the afternoon.
and here are some other recent shots of our little people:
this guy is growing up way too fast! he's filling out and making eye contact, and smiling. love that little face!
modeling his awesome custom amy tangerine t-shirt! i would love to have grey meet crew ...and both wear their amy onesies for a photoshoot!
big g and i spent some quality time together this week taking turns taking photos of each other. i won't be posting the shots he took. i was not looking very cute that day! but he was!
harper's new stance that i am in love with! i finally caught her doing it when i had my camera. SO stinkin' cute!
after the birthday party, we met up with travis, sarah and ella. when i saw ella i think i may have gasped! i love her outfit so much! yesterday, at bagels, denise's ella had the pink/red butterfly version on, and it's darling too!
i love her full little lips! her and griffin would make quite a pouty lip couple!
i adore all of these shots...she is just so sweet....but this last shot, just grabs me. i think it represents this age so well. one year old-from babe in arms to taking steps of independence. love it!
tomorrow, tom and i are going on a little adventure in central nebraska. it's called the junk jaunt. i had heard about it before, but recently when i did a shoot of kaitlyn's awesome capes, she was telling me more about it. i can not wait! the drive will be beautiful with all the fall colors and we may just come home with some treasures!
have a great day and God bless you!
hey becky,
i just found out that on saturday my first volleyball games are at 10 and 12 and then depending on if we win or lose, we play at 2 or 3. it's in norfolk, so by the time we're back it'll be between 4:00-4:30 or 5:00-5:30 then it will take me about an hour to get ready. i dont know if you can take pictures or not because trev sad someting that you only can between 3-4.:( hah. so if you can't that's totally fine, just let me know.
thanks!
lauren

CUte cute cute.......all of the photos! I am so irritated that I have bunco tonight! I have been looking so forward to seeing Survivor! Thankfully we'll DVR it.
I can't remember if I already asked you to head to my blog to see my best impression of taking photos like my friend Becky. I took....practiced taking shots for my friends son for his senior shots. This kid had the most stoic personality too. Yikes.

Isn't flag football so funny :) My 7 year old is on a team and is easily the biggest kid out there (he's built like a football player...me, I am more of a baseball fan, but what do you do?) at last week's game one of the kids on the opposing team picked one of our kids up by the flags, he was swinging all over and we all had a good chuckle :)
Love the pouty lips! Makes me miss my boys even more when they aren't with me...as for G taking your pics, Q has started wanting to trade shot for shot and most of the ones he is taking are ones my husband may like, but really aren't 'me' if you know what I mean ;)
