My last blog post on here was back in October of 2009. Imp just finally getting a chance to pick it back up after a long break from blogging... just needed to revamp my life in order to honestly blog again without fear of judgment and stupid stuff getting in the way. I no longer fear being honest with my words and putting things out there.


Lots of new stuff going on. Its been slow in the photography department. I’m going to have to start implementing a $25 booking deposit. Too many last minute cancellations after I already set aside time to do a session. Gets rather frustrating when I have children of my own and most session bookings are on weekends. So if they don’t cancel, they get their money back. I understand emergencies come up so there will be exceptions but I have a business to run. Nothing personal.

Cliffs job is driving us nuts. He is suppose to going on a pilot soon and I need to know dates and such but its all up in the air on where he is going. I’m praying for Florida. Id take the kids down for a week and enjoy some FL sunshine, see my Jen-Jen and the boys and meet Miss Anneliese for the first time! So, yeah.. reeeeeeally hoping for a FL pilot!! Other then him being tired and stressed out, he is fine.

Robbie, Jade and Justin are growing... like weeds!!

Last month Robbie received 2 certificates at a school achievement assembly for his grade. One for Outstanding Effort and one fore Citizenship. He is doing GREAT in school and has really bloomed this year academically! To think, when he started he was at a pre-1st grade reading level and now, he is reading at a 3rd grade level! He is a wiz at math but writing we are still working on. He has been having a major attitude problem lately. I’m so not used to this age. He is growing into a little man and its hard for me to adjust and find a balance between treating him like a kid and treating him like an 8 year old. There is a fine line and we both need to come to a compromise. I want to get him into sports or some kind of martial arts class again. He has WAY too much energy and I think that’s where a lot of our issues are stemming from. Him being bored. We will work it out.

Jade has picked up a lot in school, too. Although she struggles in some areas. I think she is another late bloomer in our house. She is needing to work on her numbers harder. I’ve been trying with her but she just isn’t catching onto it. I really need to get her into some kind of activity. Horseback riding preferably. She loves her horses!

Justin, wow... where to start with him. He turned 1. Started crawling normal(no more commando) in December. Started standing on his own in January and now he started walking. He took his first steps last week. He has been up and down every since :) I’m so proud of him!

We have a trip planned to go to Jersey this weekend. I have two photo shoots set up there, also. I’m nervous and excited as always. I know Ill do fine but one of them is a large event. I’ve never done events. We will see how it all goes in the end :)

Ill try to blog more often. I’m just getting back into the swing of things since we are all recovering from the snow storms. Kids had 2 weeks worth of snow days!!
