Hats, colds, and so on...

Well, I stopped working at the end of January and thought FOR SURE that I'd be a better blogger when I quit... I was wrong. My new theory is that I'll be a better blogger when I can have two free hands for longer than 5 minutes at a time during the day. :-)

A lot has happened since my last post and a lot has stayed the same. I quit my job to be a stay at home mommy and couldn't be happier with that decision! I was able to get some more photo equipment with my tax return and am now actively working on portfolio building. I'm planning to get my business permit in the next six months and get busy on that! For a long time, the plan has been for me to quit my job and start seriously doing my photography(http://www.jensphotogblog.blogspot.com/). The time has come to make that a reality!


Kaya started ballet a few weeks ago, and I've never seen her so enamored with anything in her life. Normally when I ask her what she did that day (at preschool, church, etc.), the response I get is, "I don't remember" or "I dunno" or "Can we talk about that later?" When I ask about ballet, I get a play by play of EVERYTHING that they did. Something like, "First we pointed our toes, then flexed, then pointed, then flexed, then did first position, then...." and on and on and on. I love it! I will try to get some pictures of her doing her "dance moves" (that's what she calls them) soon.

Oliver is growing like a weed and has had colds for most of his life (including right now). This has made it hard to establish any normal sleep patterns. It seems that once we finish one cold, another one starts. I guess that's what happens when one kid's in the first year of preschool and the other puts EVERYTHING in his mouth...

A friend of mine has been making hats and selling them in her etsy store (http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=46100521774&h=o5bKZ&u=NoTPW) and asked me to take a few pictures of the kids wearing the hats for her, so here they are...





And here's what happens when I try to get them in the same picture..



And, just because it's cute...
