Changes, Changes, Changes

Oh my goodness! Again I have failed at keeping up with this thing. I want to be a blogger, I want to have a place to share things in my life, but keeping up with my crazy life has not been easy. There have been so many changes in my life and my family's life. From October to January our littlefamily has three has been very, very busy.

In October we lost our little adopted dog Addie. She

suddenly died of a heart att

ack. She was born six years ago with hear murmur and we knew that she would die eventually, but we didn't expect to loose her so soon. It was a hard adjustment on both all of us, especially gracie. Addie will always hold a special little place in our hearts. Our little stubby bear is missed. The end of October I went back to working full time again as a receptionist for a Law Firm in Town. Totally a different game for me. Going back to work full time was hard at first, but Emma is in a wonderful in home daycare and is learning so much. I am learning and growing a lot too. Who knew Law could be so interesting. In November Emm

a celebrated her first Thanksgiving and was very excited she got to eat all the wonderful foods. She loved

pumpkin pie, turkey and sweet potatoes the best. December was a very busy month. Our sweet little girl turned one and had her very first sample of cake. (wellreally whole cake because she got the whole thing.) She

also loved opening all her presents and getting to see all her little friends. The same weekend of her party we celebrated her first birthday with Mimi and Poppy at North Park mall where she met the real Santa Claus and see the train exhibit. She loved story time with Santa. She loved the trains and the fountains at North Park, but when it came time to have her picture made with Santa, she was not a fan. However we still got a great shot. Emma loved Christmas with the family. She got a lot of toys that she has enjoyed playing with. The holidays were filled with joy and many blessings. Not working full time in the photography industry has opened up new opportunities for me to pursue photography on more of professional level. My hope with the new year is to share more of my work,

and share opportunities I've had with people during different stages of life.

Since we are also heading into the season for Oscars, I hope to provide my insight on all the favorite movies from 2011. However life gets busy and my one year old keeps me very busy. So until my next post I hope you enjoy the latest updates.
