What.. a blog? huh?

I need to start out admitting that I've been writing this blog post for oh let's say 3 1/2 weeks?? I'm bad at getting things done.

Ok, It's official I don't blog anymore. I'm not even doing great with my photography blog right now, because I have about 10 sessions to post. Thank goodness all my clients have received and seen their sneak peeks and images. I feel like I've been neglecting all of you too! I love reading everyone's blog, and I'm sure mine is fun from time to time but seriously I just don't want to blog for some reason? Oh well maybe I will get back into the swing after the holidays.

Much promised Halloween pictures, isn't he the cutest Lion ever!!




Well on the upside life is pretty great here, and I'm grateful.

Alex is changing so much.. I hate it to be honest, he's so much more independent! He really enjoys doing things for himself like feeding and other random things, he's really curious about the potty (not getting my hopes up) and he's using simple word sentences from time to time which has been quite nice along with his growing vocab. He's pretty much past his moan, whine, tantrum stage for asking for something and finally learning to communicate more. He's also a huge. Monster huge, I swear he's at least 35 pounds because it hit me like a week ago when I picked him up and almost dropped him. Oh and maybe the fact that I had to go buy him new clothes within a MONTH, I mean do some kids really have some clothing that must be 3T at his age? Ugh he totally got John's genes obviously!! He's also giving up the paci all on his on really. I haven't pushed much just like I didn't when he was turning one about the bottle but he's finally realizing he's a "big boy" and doesn't need it. He's SUCH a happy kid though, and so active I love it to be honest, he's climbing and jumping and and wanting to go go go all the time but he's so much fun. Why do they grow up again?

This kid loves the snow, and isn't happy when playing in it is over. He'd play out there all day if I let him!


He wanted to watch "teevee" on my ipod one day and was quite happy once I let him


John is a workaholic. :) But most of you know that and I didn't have to say that. He's been working so hard and is SUCH an amazing business man. I mean I don't know what I'd do without him and all the amazing things he is capable of. I feel so blessed because I know people out there struggling to even find a job right now, and I remember the days we had our own tough times. But it's so awesome to seem him just keep climbing the ladder and doing so well. I couldn't be more proud of him, and how he's such an amazing father. Alex simply adores him, and always asking what "daddy" is doing. Can you tell I'm a proud mom and wife? I feel so blessed really.

Me.. well I'm good. I've been working some, but with the holidays and travels plans we have a lot going on and the winter season isn't too busy. I'm dealing with getting my studio set up and other things done but they're kind of on the back burner. I've been doing a lot of outdoor shoots which have been nice. As far as pregnancy I'm great! To be honest I'm so excited to be pregnant! I'm still holding out on shopping because well, I hope to not go nuts to be honest. Baby shopping is addictive and new baby stuff is always SO fun! And other than all that I'm so excited that Alex will have a sibling, he absolutely loves babies. His favorite thing to do is to try and show everyone my belly, he'll lift my shirt and point at my tummy and go "Oh baybei... cool" haha so cute.

Ok enough bragging :) I think things are really about to take a turn in our lives now, our life is changing completely. I feel like we're on a new start, like I'm living this sort of new life in a good way. I'm just excited for the holidays to be here, we've got all kinds of fun plans!

It just feels so good to know everything is just right.
