It doesn't have to be perfect

The weather here , like many other places, was beautiful. Warm and sunny, and completely fooling us that it was only barely spring. We found ourselves going to parks and working outside more. Then reality crashed down and it has been getting colder and colder - only 38 today! I knew better but still got fooled, that mother nature is such a sneaky ________!

I've also been working on setting up a portrait website- hence the title of this post. I researched and designed a website and business cards while working on a four piece commission that was turning out to be more time consuming than I had originally guessed. In the end I got them all done. Am I completely happy about everything? No. In fact my sister said to me " you didn't put on the website what it is you do" Oops! Kind of a big mistake! Anyway it is up and running and I can always tweak it as I go right?

I've been putting off posting until I had something to show but I realizes that something is better than nothing, and I have something.

Happy Birhtday Kelsey!

 So exactly one week separates the birthdays of my babies. My family is no stranger to clusters of birthdays together, in fact I have four birthdays alone on September first! Right now it isn't really a problem because they enjoy sharing their party, but I can foresee a day in the future where I will not get off so easy.

Since we had already did the party thing  and the weather was spectacular ( many of my flowers are coming up) we spent most of the day at a park. She is definitely her Daddy's daughter and loves the slides and swinging high. She really has no fear, which scares the crap out of me! A great time was had by all, and for now I'll be grateful that spending the day at a park is the most fun we can have.



Happy Birthday Maddy!

 Happy Birthday to my baby girl.  I don't know how six years went by so very fast.  Every year I try to make something for my daughters birthdays and this year it was the doggy bag, we used it to hold her presents. Her little sister has a kitty one just like it, but shh don't tell, her birthday is a week after Maddy's.

Here is the birthday girl mid-party, I just love the little space where her teeth are playing catch-up.  Her top front tooth is loose right now and I can't wait for that jack-o-lantern smile!

After we ate I realized that we hadn't taken a picture of her Rapunzel cake so I had my husband grab a quick shot, hence all the half eaten food in the background. Although the cake looks kind of sad it did take me a while to make and I wanted a picture of it before we cut into it. At least it tasted good!
