This one's for Pee-pa...

...Also known as the "anonymous" complainer today :)

Pee-pa was mad that I didn't post for a week and then when I did post, I only gave him four sentences. No pictures. Sorry bout that Dad! Still recovering from all the work craziness lately. I'm a busy little bee! :)

Squeaky wheel gets the oil....

So, for all our readers in central Pennsylvania, here is a double dose of PA fun that we partook of lately. The Strasburg Railroad and Jake riding a pony at Dutch Wonderland. I would have posted many more pictures of our adventure on the railroad, but for the second time in my life, a camera has lost images on my memory card :(

I'm All Thumbs

Me: (Pointing to Jake's thumb) Jake, what finger is this?

Jake: Thumb!

Me: Good! And what finger is this? (I point to his pinkie)

Jake: Baby Thumb!

And we're back!

Since you've waited so patiently in my absence, I'm going to give you some extra-cute pictures to enjoy this time!







These are taken with my 'old' Rebel XT ('old', meaning it has been retired from professional service, but is my go-to camera when we go on vacation, or the baby is doing something cute, or we are playing in the backyard). Since I get this question a lot, I will go ahead and tell you all that this is the number one camera I recommend for the advanced hobbyist photographer. There is no better way, photographically speaking, to spend $400. And while you're at it, pick up this lens for another $85. You'll be shooting like a pro in no time! ;)

Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know...

Enjoy having a little Vanilla-Ice-Ice-Baby stuck in your head for a while :)

Five weddings in a span of fifteen days (four down, one to go). Plus two portrait sessions. Plus a million and a half miles on the road. Repainted and redecorated the new office. Still have to call an electrician to get some 3-prong outlets installed so I can move my computer down there to the new office. You know, minor detail like having a computer in your new work space.... Argh. My head is spinning.

Jake is finally back from his week-long visit with Grandma & Grandpa (aka Gee-dah and Pee-pah). By all accounts, everyone had a terrific fantastic and amazing time. Hopefully Pee-pa will send me some pictures to post. We missed Jake like crazy and have been kissing and squeezing and hugging him non-stop. He is talking in near complete sentences now. I am blown away by how much he changes in such a short amount of time.

I promise there will be pictures soon. As soon as I go to bed. And find my sanity. And host a playdate tomorrow. And do some laundry. And call the electrician. And edit and process all these thousands of images from all of my recent brides and grooms. But seriously, right. after. that.
