*{Why Can't Mommies Call in Sick??}*

I know...you are probably thinking I fell off the face of the earth! We fought a couple of viruses around here so we weren't doing much of anything, including sessions! And on one day, as I sat in the fetal position all day, I wondered why mommies can't call in sick when they need to! Thank you to all you wonderful clients that were so understanding in having to reschedule!

AND, for a *huge* announcement...
I am completely booked through April 08. And I am only booking through the first week of June. I will not be booking beyond that due to summer vacations and A MOVE...yes, we will be moving. But do not fret, I will connect you all up with another fabulous photographer before we leave.

What this means...I am booking May and the first week of June and no weekend appointments are available anymore. Those are already spoken for. So get those appointments booked asap because I would not be suprised if in this next month I announce that there are no more sessions available...ever! So sorry, but that is how life goes, and it is a never-ending adventure.

Here are a couple recent shots from a session...Mr. A is such a cutie! And in the second one, you will see the KU hacky-sack that momma used during the labor and delivery portion. However, I can probably guarantee you she wasn't playing hacky-sack in her room...I am sure she was squeezing the life out of that thing!!

Until next time...

PS-Don't know where we will be moving...will keep you posted on that fun part of our lives when we know what's going on!! Then you can go tell all your friends that live there!!

*{Behind The Blue-Star Banner}*

So I had the absolute priveledge this morning to photograph an author...and more importantly an amazing person!

She has a book that will be published soon, entitled Behind The Blue-Star Banner. It is her story of enduring a 16-month deployment, an extenstion, and if that is not enough, the birth of their first child during that time. I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy. You will have to go to the link above to check out her site. And she is also available for speaking engagements. And let me tell you...this girl will light up any room she walks into. Her personality is contageous, and you always feel like you have a bit more of a "bounce in your step" after talking to her! So "M", here is your sneek peek! I had so much fun...and I want an autograph in my copy!!

Until next time...

*{NKOTB...Made My Day}*

Okay, so I sort of can't believe I am publicly confessing this...however, I was *in love* with New Kids on the Block back in the day...and if you are a female from my generation, admit it...so were you! September 12, 1990 I went to my very first concert and saw them (and if you know me, you also know I am a freak at remembering dates)!

So my mom called me this morning and Regis and Kelly were talking about how the New Kids are making a comeback! I am all giddy like a teenage girl again...but I am making a promise to my husband right now, I won't hang up the Joey Joe poster like back in the day! And I promise not to bust out my trading cards that are somewhere probably stashed with my childhood memory tote in the garage!

Here is the article from People Magazine. And I have to confess, I would totally buy a ticket for nostalgic purposes...it would be a nice blast from the past! And yes, I so signed up on their site for email exclusives! Now you know one of my deepest darkest secrets, yes...I will always be a "block-head"!

Hangin' Tough,

*{Just Because}*

Just proofed this gem and had to share it.

*{Where Does Time Go?}*

My, my, my...I guess time flies by when you're having fun! I just wanted to make the following announcement...

January, February, and March 08 are completely booked. I will not be taking on any more sessions during these months!

However, I am already booking April 08 forward. So if you'd like to do a session when the sun decides to start peeking through the clouds again, let me know!

Hope you are all having a great weekend...and GO CHARGERS!!
