Is that what you call a blog slacker? I have no idea, but that's what I've become lately! Life with an 8 month old is so fun and busy, and it's senior season which means pure madness. It's been fun, just real busy. I've had some of the best seniors this year though. They've had the cutest outfits and been so fun to work with! I'll post a few of my favorite pics on the photoblog.
I am so excited for the sunshine. I seriously canNOT believe how long the gray gray days of winter lasted this year...whoa! Too much for me. I'm pretty sure Brent's gonna have to move me somewhere beautiful and 80 degrees year-round soon.
Brent's out mowing the lawn, and seriously, it's music to my ears. He even smells like gasoline and fresh cut grass, which to me is blissful right now. I'm so excited to be outside this summer with Adi. This girl loves to wiggle her toes in the grass. I think she'd sit outside for hours and roll around if I'd let her. Her little arms and cheeks already have a little tan.
Next week I'm gonna start planting flowers and getting ready for my square foot gardens. I'm so excited about that! All this mommy stuff has had a serious nesting effect on me and I'm way into everything homemade. My newest addictions are homemade bread and pizza. I'm gonna have to plant a ton of tomatoes and herbs to keep up with it! I'm really looking forward to it. In fact, I find myself more excited to get out my mixer and my sewing machine than my camera, and that's a huge deal for me.
When we couldn't have kids for so long it was a really hard adjustment for me to throw my heart and soul into something besides a family because in my head that's what I'd always pictured. Pretty soon I fell in love with photography and adjusted to it all. It has been such a huge blessing in my life. I've never been a nine-to-fiver and I have to always be creating something! Six years later this little girl made a debut, and it's taken some time, but I've been able to re-prioritize in my head and my heart. I will always love photography and it will always be something I will do, but it feels so good to be a mom and to love it!
My next task? To talk Brent into chickens. My uncles Josh's amazing wife Tiff (I'm serious, she is one amazing person) has been nice enough to give me some advice and let me peek at her chicken coop. I've always always always wanted chickens and we'll see if I can't get Brent to cave. I don't want a farm...just a few little peepers for some nice yummy fresh eggs. Hmm. I'll keep you posted.
I'll post some pics of my sweet Adi soon. She rolling all over the place, clapping her hands, clicking her tongue, shaking her head, trying to crawl...you name it, this girl wants to try it!
Kay, there's my catch-up. Gosh, I should sit down and just type more often. Apparently rambling isn't a problem for me :)

You are a blacker I think...kidding. I was going to come see you when we moved Scott, but then he had his surgery and the plans changed. We need to get together.
It's about time, Blacker! :o) Great post! Can't wait to see pictures of your growing girl. It's gone by so fast. And I know what you mean about nesting. I love it!
Sounds like you are enjoying the warm weather. Dido. We should do something sometime. I need some much needed distraction lately. Get my mind off things. I know you understand. Glad things are going so well. Love your face.
