My So Called Life – Personal

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done any sort of a personal post.  The truth is that I feel such a huge obligation to getting my clients’ images posted that almost hate to “waste” space here with my personal posts.  I actually had 2 sessions today that I haven’t posted previews for, but my computer is busy uploading some other stuff and I can’t do both at once so I have an excuse to put those off a day!  However, I really, really love blogging.  That is, afterall, how this whole journey got started!  I was reading back through my old blog last week, and became a little nostalgic and really wished I’d done a better job at documenting the past year.  I’ve taken ALOT of photos, but not as many of my own family as normal.  I’m determined to change that and I’ve already started this week! 

My life has been a little nuts lately.  My schedule has gotten a little out of control, and if I look a little tired, it’s because I am!  If you are planning to schedule a session in the next few months, please don’t delay in contacting me.  I hate telling people no, but my schedule is just about full.  I’ve realized how important prioritizing is, and even though I thought I was pretty good at it, I was wrong.  I hope that with some changes that I’m making, all of that will come a little easier!  I’m super excited to see where this path is headed, and so thankful for everyone I’m meeting along the way.  I have been blessed so many times over by people I’d never met before.  It’s amazing the things that happen when you just jump!

I think it’s been a little too long since I’ve posted any photos of my own kiddos.  We have been relishing the warmer days that are becoming more frequent with long evenings outdoors.  Although I am so ready to move from this house (please!!!), I do LOVE the light in our backyard in the evening.  So, when I saw this little messy face looking at me, I just had to go grab my camera.  Y’all, she is growing up too fast.  I love it, but I hate it.  I just want to bottle this stage (minus the power struggles..ha)!  She has quite the mommy attachment lately, which is tough when I need to go somewhere, but oh how I love cuddling with her!

And this guy..the little one.  Well, I’m not sure what happened these past 8 months, but he is a different child.  It’s true that once they start kindergarten, they become their own people.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I love it!  BUT, it’s sad.  He has his own little life now that I’m not really a part of.  I’m being a little dramatic here, but when you think about it, it’s the truth.  He interacts with all of these people every day that I don’t know at all, and is learning and drawing from all of these experiences to become his own little person.  And, wow, he’s different!  He’s so growny.  He turns 6 and about 5 weeks, and that sounds sooooo sooooo old!  Gone are the days of me planning his party – he has his own ideas, and mine just don’t compare!  So mommas, don’t judge my party, Grant’s in charge of this one!  Kindergarten graduation is the day after his birthday, and I am so ready for that so we can enjoy some summer days together!  It will be the first time we’ve ever had that, and while I’ll still have to work some, I can’t wait to chill with him and be the one and only again…at least for a few weeks! 

And yes, he’s playing baseball with a construction hat on :)! 

And there you go…some ramblings that are rolling around in my head.  I could go on and on and on, but I think for once, I’m going to go to bed before midnight!  I have way more sessions this week than I’ve ever had in one week, and I’m just a little nervous about keeping up with it all!  Be patient with me if I’m slow to return emails.  I will be spending very little time on the computer this week during waking hours!!
