On Wednesday morning I got a phone call at 3 am. It was my lovely friend Donna telling me her water had broken and asking to bring William over (Tuesday’s playmate who is a few weeks older than her). No problem since I had already been awake for an hour (Thanks Tuesday!). William was a …

Christmas for the grandparents – take two
Earlier this year Bj’s parents “cashed in” their photo shoot with Tuesday. Well at the end of last month my mom and step dad did the same thing. We met up outside our beautiful capital in the lovely little grounds that were littered with fluffy pink blossoms. It was brighter than I had anticipated, but …

Christmas for the grandparents – take one
I’m awaiting more photos from Tuesday’s party from other guests. It turns out it’s not quite as easy to photograph your own child’s first birthday as it is to be hired to do someone else’s kid’s. I do want to do more photography though and Bj and I thought giving our parents photoshoots with Tuesday …

Man was last night rough. But lucky for me I have Bj, otherwise I'm sure I would have propped Tuesday in front of the television right now with a TV dinner and said, "Fend for yourself." Okay maybe not, but I was very tired after multiple night wakings. Bj was lovely and got her early …

Ah sweet sleeping baby bliss. Bj and I were so tired after a day in the sun that we all laid on the floor as a family and helped Tuesday settle down into night night time. So a quick post and then bed for me as well. Today we went to the Lavender Festival. Our …
First I’ll recap learnfest
Yes, I’m alive! I made it back form Learnfest, which was awesome. Unfortunately when you come home, often you have to get back into real life and that’s exactly what happened, and that real life happened to be a my-side-hurts-grandpa-doing-bad-remodel-drama mess. I can’t possibly do all that in one post anyway, so I’ll start with …
Update… we ARE crazy
I probably won’t be blogging for a week, unless the "spotty Internet on the island" comes through for me. That’s right Bj and I are headed to North Carolina. We’re still going to Learnfest. It is a bit crazy. Grandpa was super sweet last night when Bj went to hang out with him at the …
One charge and another
Bj had to have a haircut last night. No pictures, as he always makes the worst faces (think being tortured faces). Grandpa likes to get his haircut almost as much: I like how they both looked up at me like that. Bj went to San Fransisco for the day. Because he got up at four …
Playing with the camera
Just a little bit. At dinner on Monday Bj contemplates what to eat: and pretending he’s on wine library TV: Hehehe. I love that guy. I figured out that my main problem with the camera (or me using it), is that I have a trouble with light metering. I’m thinking about renting a separate one …
Light box
I finally made that light box I said I was going to make. I found the directions here. I am going to use it for Ribbon Jar, but sampled today with some of those scrapbooking layouts that I’ve been whipping out. I still need to figure out everything. Basically what I am doing now is …
