Pictures

I have been taking a lot of pictures lately. I have this camera and this lens too, which has been very good for portraits! I am going to use it this evening to do a photo shoot for a friend and her family. I am excited and nervous. She is pregnant and I can't wait to take her pictures. I took some shots of a newborn the other day and that was hard! I definitely need lots more practise with babies!! I may try to shoot those again at a different time of day. I would love to make money taking pictures for people, but I know my limits and I need to practise, practise, practise!!!



Maybe someday I can afford this camera and a few lens!!

Blogging

I am trying to change my blogging habits. I need to update badly and decide what I want this blog to be about! We have had a lot of things going on the past 9 months that I want a record of. I want this to be a journal in some ways and about other things too. Its hard to decide though.

My day is all turned upside down!!!

My day is turned upside down and I really hate when that happens!!! I had plans that I changed, but it still can mess up your day. I guess cleaning can put you in a bad mood, especially when you would rather be doing other things, ahhhh well.

I am tired and cranky and I think a nap will help......

Spring has Sprung

We just planted our first garden in the new house. There are so many flowers blooming here that I don't think that I will plant any this year. Our house is coming along and one of these days I will reveil all the details of work done and needing to get done. It is a really long list! Well that is all for now.

We just had Easter in our new house. Aaron's Grandma Larson and aunt Ginny from Wisconsin were here the first week of April visiting. Grandma Larson celebrated her 80th birthday with us and we are so happy that she did!! Our house is still a work in progress.

That needs to be an update all by itself sometime.

Hey

Happy New Year! One of these days I will get on here and really do some updating. Our life has been hectic for a while and we are trying to get settled in here at the new house. I have so many pict and posts to do, but that will have to wait till school starts back next week.

Blizzard 2009

We just had a Blizzard! On Christmas eve! Like the kind they had way back in Laura Ingalls Wilder day! I measured 18 inches on the back porch when it was over.
It was very fun to watch that much snow come down, but not fun to be out in it. The state closed all major highways and roads. People were stranded in their car for 24 hrs or more. Thankfully, we could just watch it unfold in the safety of home. We did get out in it around 2pm to try and make it to Kathy's for the evening. We turned around about 1/4 mile from our house. It was blowing too hard and the windows were icing over. You couldn't see in front of you. We managed to make it back before it got worse. We sat in the van for a while watching it come down before we were ready to run back into the house. We were very Lucky!

The next day Kathy's neighbor came to shovel us out of the front door. The snow drifts were up to my Waist! It took about 3 weeks for everthing to melt. I have never seen that before and maybe never will again. It was a sight to behold that is for sure. Something like probably only happens every 100 years or so!
