Perspective

What a deep word to be thinking about on the Holiday weekend!  It is perspective about Memorial Day, however, that has changed for me over the years!  Let's start at the beginning!  My Birthday is May 31 and every 7 years it falls on Memorial Day itself while 4 out of those seven years my day falls in the weekend that is Memorial Day weekend!  Are we tracking so far?

Anyway, when I was younger, Memorial Day and the weekend preceding it were all about me and my Birthday!  We would plan MY party or a fun vacation for MY Birthday!  I had no clue that there was an actual meaning to the day and just assumed that everyone in the U.S. was celebrating my birthday!!  Ha!!  Ha!!!  Now, as I have matured, I know the true meaning of the Holiday and wish we could just forget that I have a Birthday that will make me another year older!  Sigh..........

So to all the men and women who have served our country including:  my dad (US Navy), my step-dad (US Army), the Knight (US Army) and my brother (US Army National Guard) I say a big thank you!  So during all the celebrations this weekend remember the fallen soldiers who died for our freedom and thank a Veteran or Soldier in your community for all they have done!

Enjoy your Holiday!!

M.I.A.

Well, not really!  Just lots of other things going on that are taking me away from blogging!  Right now I am trying to get my allergies under control from two days of motorcycle riding!  I am paying for all the fun in a big way and I am miserable to say the least!!  My eyes and nose are out of control and my throat is sore and well, to be honest, Zyrtec is not working that well!  I hate to whine but I just want to crawl back into bed and pray that the laundry fairy will get her booty in gear and get it all done for me!  Ha!! 

Then there is the matter of the 3 year old Diva who calls for me like a teenager!!  Moooo-ooooom, she screams from the other room!  I miss that cut little girl who couldn't talk back and would sit on my bed and watch her shows while I rested but those days are long gone!  Sigh...............................  Really, I am done with the whining now back to reality and Mt. Laundry that is threatening a landslide if I don't do something quickly!!

Hope you all have a great day!!

What Happens When They've Had Enough?

It is great to photograph little ones but sometimes they get overstimulated and they call for a time out!  If you don't take their cues then they tell you in a much louder way!!  Ha!!  That is just what happened with Baby W yesterday!  I was so excited to break in the new D700 on this little cutie and things started out pretty good but.......................................................................................................................................
then this happened!!

Oh yeah!!  Little man was mad and tired and just plain old DONE!!  So we decided to try again later but he was still out of sorts so we will finish another day when he is his old happy self again!!  You can take a look at some of the cool stuff we did get by clicking here!  I promise you won't be disappointed!
