First of all, I wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who left a comment or emailed me in regards to my last post. I was overwhelmed by your comments and humbled and flattered that so many people (a lot whom I'm never met) care about this little blog. I will send the password to everyone as soon as I get a chance, I've been so busy the last week, I haven't had much time to think about it. So if you haven't heard from me, I'm not ignoring you, just preoccupied with a few other things......
Let's see in the last week,
Chloe turned four.
Cole graduated from Kindergarten.
We helped my parents move here (yippee!!).
I quit my job (still can't believe I actually did it).
Attended class parties, made teacher gifts, all the typical end of year stuff.
Forgot more things than I remembered.
Planned a last minute princess party.
Had 3 photo shoots. A wedding with my friend Kim (a few pics are up on her blog), a sweet extended family of 12, and a 2 month old baby. (all fun, but so tiring!).
And remember the one who's the mess from the last post? Well she is still a mess allright....... and now she's the owner of a hot pink cast for her broken right elbow.
As soon as I turned around to put my camera back inside look where I found her....
Excuse the blurriness, I snapped this super fast, before I got her down in hopes of preventing a matching cast for the other arm.
So needless to say, it's been a busy week. Thanks for being patient with me.
Oh, my goodness. She is Harry's kind of girl. We need to introduce them. With everything on your plate, I can't believe she has both fingernails and toenails painted. I cannot even find time to paint my own. Glad I have boys!
By the way, I'm jealous. How wonderful that your parents have moved closer to your family. Just as exciting, you are staying home!

That's a whirlwind of an update Kelly! Congrats to all except for the broken arm....atleast it's hot pink!
I saw the pictures on Kim's blog....BEAUTIFUL! I don't know if you read my comment, but you girls should seriously consider adding wedding photography to your list of options. The few shots she posted are amazing!! I know brides would be snatching you two up as quick as you could open your calendars. You and Kim make me want to get married all over again just to have those kind of pictures!!
Now, slow down a bit, won't you? : )

Oh! Poor thing! At least it's not slowing her down too much!
Brian told me about the crazy week you've had and I gotta say...it made me feel WAY better about the way mine has been going!
And 53 readers! WOW! You've really got quite the fan base these days! I'm proud I can say "I knew you when..."

Kelly, my friend--you have had *quite* the week. Yea for quitting the job!!!!!
I was so sad to hear about Kate's broken arm, but you know, from the look on her face in those photos, it doesn't look like it's slowing her down any. LOL.
Love that last photo on Kim's blog of the two of you. Super cool!

Hello, I stumbled across your blog, I have to say you are amazing photographer. I would love to have the password. (I used to work if Jake Pratt's mom)

Oh... Kelly what a BUSY time you have had! CONGRATS on quitting the job... I know it was a hard decision but I am sure you are glad that you did it! You definitely should add wedding photography to your offerings... you have such a great eye! YAY - that your parents moved closer. My parents have their house for sale hoping to move closer to us SOON! So sorry to hear about Kate's arm... she doesn't seem to be too bothered by it though! Keep in touch!

Hey Kelly! I saw your mom last weekend and heard some cute stories about the kids! I hope Kate is doing okay!

You are an amazing mom and even though you are always so terribly busy I don't think your kids even realize it. You always handle everything with such Grace! That little monkey cracks me up. I don't think that cast is going to slow her down one bit.

Oh man....what a week or so you have had. You are amazing. I don't know how you do it all. Congratulations on all the wonderful things.....and I'm now gonna go try to find these pictures they are talking about.
Take care!

I remember another little girl who broke her arm while we were babysitting when her parents went out of town! Runs in the family!
What a week for you. I know you are so excited that your parents live close by. I plan on seeing you all soon! Love to all your family!

Oh, Kelly. Your commentary cracks me up. Those pics of Kate are hilarious! Take a deep breath- May is almost over. :)

LOL at Kate! That look on her face in the top pic is a riot! Yep, you're in trouble for sure! :D

The wedding pics are absolutely lovely! Makes me want to get married again (to the same man, of course!). And that Kate, whew, just wait until she is a teenager! LOL...

I found your blog and love the photos. How do you get such clear, colorful pictures? Please e-mail me if you read this. I have a blog on our adopted son, Rocco, and I'm always admiring great photography when I see it on other blogs.
