Poor, Neglected Blog!



Wow! I haven't ever gone this long without updating. I've been CRAZY busy the past couple weeks. Thought I'd take a break and give the blog some lovin'.

Let's see. We found out that both girls need glasses. Cora needs them for reading, and Sarah needs them all the time. The good news is that they're both farsighted, which is likely to correct itself since they're so young. We're hoping that's the case. They both, of course, had a fun time picking out the perfect frames.

We went camping last weekend. It wasn't too bad, even though I DETEST camping. It wasn't horrible, but I won't be going back any time soon. The girls and Andrew had a lot of fun though, and it was fun to watch them. Andrew's trying to sweet talk me into going again, but it ain't happenin'. We were up on Andrew's stepfather's land up near Weidman, MI. We stopped by his farm while we were up there, and hung out there for a while. I got some great shots of Cora. Sarah wasn't havin' anything to do with the camera. She's on camera strike, apparently. I did get one of her eating a marshmallow.



She ate about half a S'More, then wanted just the marshmallows. Crazy kid...everyone knows that camping is all about the S'Mores!

Here are a couple shots of Cora.





I've been pretty busy with photos all week. I wrapped up all the headshots for the Fenton Village Players this week. They're doing "Once Upon A Mattress" this summer, so I've been getting all their headshots and their publicity poster all done. Pretty big job, but fun. Last night as I was leaving I got a rousing rendition of the Birthday Song. That was pretty cool.

Yeah. I'm 30. My birthday was June 26. Not sure how I feel about being 30 yet. Ask me in about 10 years. :)

Not sure what our plans are for the 4th. Probably just parade and fireworks. July 4th has to be one of my all time fave holidays. I just get filled with pride to know I live in this awesome country. Sure, we're not perfect, but darn it, America rocks. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I'm also proud that I'm forever a part of the tradition of the military. I can't even express how thankful I am for the men and women who fight and die every day to keep this country free. God Bless America.
