Day ThreeHundred-Seven

The miracle of life is just that.  Simply a miracle.

Day ThreeHundred-Six

It may not look like much of a photo to you, but when you are prepping for a maternity shoot and testing out location and lighting and find a treasure like this... well, it gets you kinda giddy.  And what makes it better is that it was my last purchase before leaving Jakarta, my teak and leather chair... something I had been eyeing and saving for almost 2 years to buy.  Can't wait to see what it looks like with a beautiful momma and her belly posing for a shot!  

Day ThreeHundred-Five

Sixty days to go with 365 and this is about how I feel.  Part hallelujah and part ahhhhh!  However, this really is a little glimpse into the energy that these two have come home with every day this week.  And it doesn't end until they fall into bed!  Obviously, school is treating them well!

Day ThreeHundred-Four

With Moe & Cakes gone to school and mom as an "empty nester" for 8 hours each day, this is where I've been spending the bulk of my time.  And I LOVE it.  I have an office and working space that I love and in a house filled with ... well, no noise (and yes, 3 computer screens), I'm a happy girl.

Day ThreeHundred-Three

Couldn't go with a single shot today for obvious reasons.  It was a big day around here, for those going to school and those staying home - by themselves, in a quiet house, with no kids....Ahhhhhh.  I went the entire day working on MoeCakes website with no tv, no music, no sounds.  Let's just say "It was NICE!"  And I plan to do it all over again, tomorrow!!  As for these two munchkins, after the pain of Mommy leaving the classroom (for Cakes), it all went wonderfully.  Only smiles unloading from the bus.  I'm not one to get too emotional at occasions like this, but I will say, knowing I no longer have kids at home -- well, it did pull at the heart strings just a tad.  :-)

Day ThreeHundred-Two

School starts tomorrow, which means today was spent prepping.  Who needs free haircuts from JCP when you have a mom that likes to channel her inner beautician??!!

Day ThreeHundred-One

Now here is a crew.  Not often that all nine cousins get to hang out, but with Aunt Mary and Uncle Hans in town it was the perfect excuse for some fun in the sun.
