I'm not up on adding photos

I know the rule is post all your sessions and yada yada but lately I've been a little media'd out and avoiding my blog, facebook, etc. I've had a lot of work to do - photo sessions, marketing stuff, planning for the future, preparing for Pesach/Resurrection Day and schooling the boys. I've had a lot of internal conversations trying to sort out what I should be doing and all that good stuff. So, it's been sort of . . . quiet on the cyber front. But, here is a sweet photo of a baby that is just too adorable not to post. She was sooo good too - her mommy should be very proud (and daddy of course too!)

Seriously behind on Blogging

Wow, what happened to the last two weeks. Well, anyway, I'm going to try and do a little better with this blog thing . . . with all the happenings of the past month I guess I've gotten behind here. Well, I got a new iMac and vacuum (previous post), I've been working hard on our Senior Portrait specials and Summer Kids specials, making sure the boys are caught up on their schoolwork (we home school) and getting Jayden started on some pre-school since he wanted to be included, cleaning out the house and redoing the boys bedroom. And this next week we'll be really cleaning to prepare for Pesach and the Resurrection celebration . . .

Whew. Well life can be busy sometimes but I think it's going ok . . . :) At least Spring is trying to break through the wintery days . . . that always cheers me up!

Love at first sight.

My husband is going to laugh at this post but it's true. This week he has blessed me with both a new iMac (for work) and a Miele vacuum (for work and home).

With both it has been love at first sight. The iMac is awesome . . . more on that later but the Miele just arrived. I had waited over a year for that vacuum. I've had less expensive ones that broke down within a year or two or never really did much of anything except make noise. This one out of the box is, well awesome. The slogan is "anything else is a compromise" and it boasts German engineering (like my BMW) but even I'm overly impressed. It is quiet - I mean really quiet. I have three boys so I know what quiet is . . . this is quiet. And it picks up dirt - and with an old house, on a farm with pets and children - I know dirt.

So with my iMac and my new vacuum, gosh, I'm pretty set. Now I don't have any excuses to stay away from work or clean my house:).

I should be in bed but . . .

These children were too cute to not post their photos.

Early Morning Fire - Neighbors House

UPDATE: News bite on the fire
This morning at 5 am as Doug was leaving for work he saw our neighbors barn was on fire. When he drove down to see what was happening the fire department hadn't arrived yet . . . as he came home to call again they came but it looks like the barn and all the cows were lost. Channel 18 (local news) was filming when I stopped by at 10 am this morning.

Please pray for the family during this time of hardship.
