This weekend.

I shall spare your inboxes this weekend by combining sessions into one post.  What a super fun session weekend this was!  Starting with the amazing Maegan and Casey who came to document their engagement.  Congrats, guys!  

 

And then I had the sheer pleasure of spending part of my afternoon with Anna.  I left their house wishing I could clone her about 5 times over.  She was every photographer’s dream come true.  Enjoy your sneaky peaky!

 

And just when you thought I was finished … I was recently tagged by a fellow friend and blogger, Bonnie, with the task of “7 Things Me” … i.e. blogging about 7 things you may not know about me.
The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag. 

 So, here we go:
1.  I attended a private high school, Michigan Lutheran Seminary, and lived in the dorms all four years.    Slightly scary at first, but wouldn’t trade my H.S. experience for the world.
2.  I have broken many bones in my lifetime … are you ready? … 6 bones at 6 different times in my life.  And I’ve always loved milk!  Go figure!  
3.  I don’t have cable TV or satellite in my home.  *gasp*  We still us good ‘ol rabbit ears.  Though, we’ll sort of have to step out of the dark ages soon and get an HD box.  Bummer, I like it here in the dark. 
4.  I despise laundry and grocery shopping.  Great housewife, aren’t I? 
5.  If I had endless funds for clothes shopping, I’d spend lots of time at Boden, Garnet Hill, Sundance and Anthropology.  I love browsing those stores.
6.  I MUST have at least one cup of coffee each morning.  I’ve sadly become an old, coffee addicted adult.  You know, the ones who always seemed slightly “off” to you when you were a kid?  Yeah, that’s me.
7.  I love summer … hot … humidity … sun … warmth, and really REALLY don’t like to be cold.
I now tag:  Kim, Tif,  Jennifer, Melissa, Therese, Corey, and Jen.  :)

Family Photo Day.

I did it.  Finally.  It happened.  We as a collective family of 5 dedicated a small part of our day to family photos.  *gasp*  Sadly, this is the very first time all 5 of us have been in the same frame together.  It’s been a long time coming.  I *puffy heart* my family.  

Here’s my favorite (though surprisingly, I’m happy with quite a few):

Monday at 11:44am …

… I will have a handful of handmade necklaces for sale.  Took a slight creative detour and designed a few jewelry pieces.  Why 11:44am, you ask?  I belong to an amazing group of work-at-home-moms who get together every once and awhile, create and sell our goodies together.  They really are an amazingly talented bunch.  Random Eclipse is the name of the store.  Our stocking times tend to align with either the sun and moon patterns, and tomorrow at 11:44am the September Equinox occurs.  Don’t miss the goodies.  They may go fast. :)

A few last breaths of summer …

Refreshed, relaxed and tan.

Dear hubby and I are home from our whirlwind trip to Mexico.  It was so awesome.  Everything was dialed down to slow motion.  That could be due to the need to be lazy or to the fact that it was blazing hot.  Either way, all schedules and routines were non existent.  Good times.   In keeping with the laziness theme, I really didn’t have the urge to lug out the big camera all that often.  I’ve been experimenting with the good ‘ol Polaroid cameras, and thought I’d play with them a bit in Cancun.   Here is a teeny glimpse of our trip:
