A Wonderful life

Well, Hello...

Nina — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:34:00 GMT

I'm in the middle of work, but I thought I would say hello to you all! It's been a really long time since I actually wrote about what we are up to. But, since I don't have much time, I'll try to make it short and sweet. :

First, this time of year up until Christmas, is always a busy time of year for me and I always look forward to it every year. My turn over time was awesome (sometimes a day) and everything was going smoothly and my HD crashed. I have hard drives for lots of different categories. For example: SMP, Design, Digital Scrapbooking. etc. etc. etc.... Well, my design HD is the one that dies on me and I lost EVERYTHING, except one page from a wedding album. That means I had to re-do the four albums that I had already done, just waiting for approval. ugh! Luckily, I still had most of them on-line and I could go back and look at them and put the pieces back together. Right now, I am ALMOST caught up again. I have one more album to do.YAY! I to get that done today and then I can get back to the pictures I have in the que. If you are one waiting for pictures, I am EXTREMELY sorry, and I hope have your pictures up ASAP. :)

So anyway, besides that whole stressful situations, we are doing well. Eva is loving her Spanish immersion threes school, and is always coming home with something new to say. :) Tomorrow is Grandparent's Day at school, so I think my mom and dad are going, as well as Kenton's Mom (at least for a little while). Carrie has 5 grand kids, I think, to visit. :) But she is looking forward to that. :) I was a helper in her class and it was really fun! Very busy, since out of 15 kids, I think 10 were boys. :) Isabel is doing well too. She recently had foot doc appointment, 'cause she has flat feet, and they are talking aboutmaking shoe inserts for her. I did not know that those inserts were expensive! WOW! Our insurance is ok and they pay 80%. I thought great, I can pay the $50-$100 or whatever. NO, it will cost us $325. Which would not be a big deal if they could grow with her, but they don't. So, like shoes, when her foot out grows them, she needs new inserts. Man!! They also talked about maybe surgery in about a year or 2 also. We'll see how that all shakes out. Lucia is going great. She has started to eat baby food and rice cereal now. She has just started to roll over , and loves to try to sit up. She scoots across the floor, but not the normal way. Nope, she scoots across the floor in her back! I have NEVER seen anything like it. Eva and I were in tears laughing the other night because it looks so funny!! :) She is a very happy girl, most of the time, and she is such a joy! Dino is doing well. Not much has changed with him. He tried SO hard to retrieve whatever he could from that stinkin' hard drive, but it was gone. He is so wonderful! I don't know what I would do without him! He is my "cheerleader" for everything I do. :)He will be going on another far away business trip soon, and I am not looking forward to that. If you remember, please kepp him in your prayers!

Ok, here are some random pictures....

Cupcakes...

Ok, that is it for now. I have tons more, but gotta get back to work. :) Have a great day everyone!

Saturday night I had an engagement session with a very cute couple. They were so cute, kind, and willing to do whatever, as you will see later in the post. :)

This is the exact spot he asked her to marry him. :)

And here is the idea I had, and they really did a great job pulling it off :)

Saturday evening Session

Nina — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:12:00 GMT

Here is my evening session from Saturday. This was a lot of fun! I have known the Mom in these photos since elementary school. We haven't seen each other in forever, but whenever we get back to talking, it's like we never missed a thing. :) She has a beautiful family and I am so happy that I had the privilege to photograph them. Here are a few shots...

Saturday mid morning session

Nina — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 04:32:00 GMT

I had 2 sessions on Saturday and this family was my first one. This family is WONDERFUL!! I have been taking their pictures for a while and it's so much fun to see the girls every year and watch them grow. When I worked at a local daycare, I actually had the oldest daughter in my room. :) The family is too sweet and I always have so much fun with them. :) Here are a few shot from that session.

My Beautiful Cousin

Nina — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:43:00 GMT

I don't usually take senior portraits 'cause I really like working with the little ones. But I do, do them for my family. Mariah is not only pretty, but she is stinking smart. NO JOKE! She pretty much has her pick of any school she wants. :) I am so proud of her! Anyhow, here are some pics that I took of her. I had a hard time just picking a few, but here they are......

OK, Ill stop there. Time to feed my little one.

Have a good night!

Last Friday I had a family shoot, and with all the rain I really didn't think it was gonna happen. Luckily it cleared up a little bit, and just in time. The family was SO helpful and sweet and the kiddos were, oh my, so ADORABLE! Here are a few shots from that night!
