{Catching Up, Part I}

I knew it would eventually happen.  I was doing really well at managing the blog site, the website, juggling my other job, my children's activities, and suddenly I'm sitting here, finding myself three months behind...dang it.  I really wish there was some magic Blog Fairy that instantly uploaded photos (along with some fantastically clever comments) to this site.  Of course, I also wish there was a Laundry Fairy, a Homework Fairy (who specializes in really senseless Master's Program classes...like Ethics-I mean, who needs that, really?), and my favorite, the Personal Assistant Fairy.  I think maybe I listened to too many fables...or watched too much Disney.....

My prayers for random Fairies is not why you're visiting this blog, though.  
You want to see some spectacular pictures of fabulous people and breath-taking scenery...and I am not one to let anyone down, so here we go!

{Winter Hiatus...Sort of}

This is generally our slow time of year; the time when we regroup after the holidays and plan for bigger and better things in the year to come...but that doesn't mean our cameras are put away.  I decided to put together a little conglomeration of the past few months, just so you can see what goes on in our lives!

Ginger's and Blake on Senior Night (she did make it through without a tear!)

Winter Storm #1...this snow stayed on the ground for nearly two weeks (which is quite a feat in the South).

Kitchen Remodel, Day 1...

Winter Storm #2...the Ice Apocalypse

another picture of Ice Apocalypse 2014.

Kitchen Remodel, Day 2

Our kitchen remodeling project overtook the hallway as well, since these rooms all share a common ceiling and walls.

Pantry done, walnut kitchen cabinets installed!  Cabinets by Grant's Cabinets and Millwork in Conway (these guys do a FANTASTIC job!!!!)

My not-so-baby girl...(sniff) Junior Year, Valentine Auction

Both of them...Luke (8th grade) is almost as tall as Karena is now!

We were playing around, goofing off after we got home and I took this picture...I am seriously in love with this shot...Karena, not so much!

{Cord & Chelsea}

I have known Cord and his family nearly half my life, and it was truly an honor to be invited to capture Cord and Chelsea's special event.  After going to their venue before the wedding date, Ginger and I thought of some really cute pictures using the old buildings in the downtown area...and then it rained. Not like an isolated shower or two...like a constant, heavy downpour ALL. DAY. LONG...and it was COLD (like maybe 40 degrees).  Needless to say, we had to regroup and make do with what we were given.  Poor Chelsea nearly froze in some of these pictures, but she was a trooper through it all!  

Thank you both for the adventure!!
