ps - hoping to have a sneak peek for the murray family up in the next day or two!  (they were the wonderful family of 8 that i got to photograph last night!!  thanks, stephanie, matt and co.!)  :D

dear, sweet, neglected blog...

ahhhhh...  it's been a good week.  :)

hey blog.  so sorry i've been neglecting you lately...  it wasn't personal at all.  just had a much-needed 'break' fall on my lap.  :D  ...and it was good.  so good.  seriously.  before the madness that is the next few weeks for me -- 3 weddings (two in one weekend...which i've NEVER done before!), an engagement session and 4 family sessions.....  phewf.  i'm tired already.  ;D  no, but really.  i'm very grateful for this past week - for the wonderful hospitality of my in-laws - spending time with joe & the kids on the farm....poolside...away from home for a bit.  one needs that, hey?!  :)  food for my soul, that place.

anyhoo.....just checking in, i guess.  and letting you all know that i haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  :)  i'm still around.  looking forward to the rest of this wild, crazy month.  :)  can't wait to document so much L O V E.

ciao for now.

ps - i DID take lots and lots of pictures during our 'mini-vacay'...  enjoy some photo goodness.  :)

she's growing up so quickly.  :(

boxes are so fun.  cheap entertainment right there.  :)

joe helping out.  :)

 

a WONDERFUL extended weekend on the farm.  what a blessing to have this 'home away from home'.  thank you again, grammy & grampy.  xo.

happy birthday, canada!

happy birthday, canada.  144 years looks good on ya.  :)
