Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart

That is what I am doing this Thanksgiving! I am so thankful and grateful for all of the blessings in my life! There are way to many to mention but I am going to try so here goes:

1. My Hubby and kids - with my parents and sister gone and my other sister so far away and my brother off in his own land, they are all I really have in this world! I am all my husband has now that his father has passed and we cling to each other!!

2. Our health.

3. The fact that we work for ourselves and do not answer to anyone at the end of the day! We make it or break it without relying on anyone else for support.

4. My bloggy pals who make blogging so much fun! I love you all! Harriet my goal in 2010 is to meet you in person since I have been in your neck of the woods so much yet you elude me!! Ha!

5. My clients who have trusted me to capture their precious memories.

6. Our dogs, even when they are driving me batty!

7. The Diva is potty trained! Enough said!

8. My sister's new knees! May they bring us together at least once a year!! LOL!

Ok, there is so much more that I am thankful for like the new rub on wall art that I just discovered and love so much. Then there is my iPhone, yup you knew that would be something I would be thankful for! I know, I know, it's getting out of hand so I will end my list!

As you spend time with family and friends please remember to give thanks for all you have and if you can please help out someone who is less fortunate during this holiday season! If you are near my neck of the woods and know someone who cannot afford to get their family photos taken but would benefit from this please shoot me a comment or email! I would love to give them this gift in the spirit of Help Portrait (12/12/09)!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

A Busy but Fun Weekend!

This weekend was filled with photos and singing! I did a shoot Saturday evening with these lovely girls! The weather was a gorgeous 60 degrees at shoot time!! We went to a little cabin in the woods and it was tons of fun!

Immediately following the shoot I had to get my booty home so I could head to church for our Thanksgiving service. We had a great time singing and listening to the little kids tell us what they are thankful for!! Too cute!

Next weekend will be our Holiday parade and taking pictures of the kiddos with Santa in his sleigh immediately following! Not sure what to expect from that but it should be a good time anyway! I am sure I will have lots to share with you but for now I need to make it through the holiday in front of me! I am cooking for my little family of 4! I was prepared to cook last year when I came down with a stomach bug so my guys and little gal went to Walmart, McDonald's and Subway while I stayed in bed trying to get my fever to break! What a Thanksgiving to remember!! Hopefully this year will be better!

If you want to see more from this shoot you can go here! Talk to you soon!
