I'm always thinking about something!

Kaylee and Nathan spent the night at their Gram's house last night. I'm sure they had a great wonderful fun time. I got to do some shopping, what is it about picking up a few things that gets us girlies all excited?!?! Maybe it's picking out new fall clothes for my kidlets. I got some pants for Kaylee and Nathan (going to wait on the shirts until it starts to cool down). I got some outfits for Emily too. I kept leaning towards pinks and browns. I love Kohls, they have such cute baby clothes. Of course it's because I favor Carters and Kohls carries mostly Carters.
Speaking of Emily I've got to do a little update on her:
She can say "bye bye" when she waves now. She says "yay" when she claps. She claps when she likes something (mostly foods). She's really starting to say little words that you aren't quite sure if she really said or of it just sounded like she said them. Like today Jimmy asked her if she went swimming and it sounded like she said "swimming". But you're never 100 percent sure. She is now in a forward facing car seat (just this week). I'm still trying to ween her off of breast milk but I swear that child is in no hurry! She misses the dinner time feeding and thats it. She usually ends up walking over to me and pulling open the top of my shirt and looking in my shirt at my top friends or she'll whack her head into them a few times, this is something she likes to do at church or in public areas where tons of people are staring at me. She loves sleeping with her pink puppy at night and I got her new p.j.'s that have footies in them and she can't quite figure them out. I'll have to get a video up on how funny she is with them. She turns 11 months tomorrow! Crazy! Jimmy took her 11 month pictures for me today. I wanted him to take them, and crop and edit them so they were totally from him. I think that will make them extra special! I plan on having a simple birthday party for her with just close family and lots of pink!! Probably let her eat a cupcake all for herself!

My brother and Rachel set their wedding date for next year, end of May!! Yippee!! I made a decision too, I love childrens photography, I feel like I do the best with Children, I love working with them and I feel so happy doing it. So next year I'm still doing Weddings but I'm going to keep them down to one a month, perhaps a couple months with two. Weddings are a lot of work, lots of editing, lots of time. I feel like I spend a lot of time away from my family and husband who is only home on the weekends. Time goes by so fast and Emily is already nearly one with Kaylee and Nathan coming close to double digits. I've always put being a mom first and so I'll put more focus on that next year. This Wedding every Saturday is CRAZY! I seriously start feeling guilty, I don't know how other women photographers do it with small children. Because it takes a lot of time away, maybe they have a babysitter that comes while they edit, I hope they don't let the poor children entertain themselves all day. Of course thats any stay at home mom doing any work from home. How to juggle while spending time with children and husband. Weddings are not on my favorites list, a lot of people are focused on the wrong things at Weddings. Children are awesome because they are so innocent (mostly). I love catching their little personalities. I also plan on going in the phonebook this next year!! I'm thrilled to see where that leads me (and a little scared). So thats my deep thoughts for the day, HA!
So no video of pictures today, I'm on the Lappy. But check back for Jimmy's pictures of Emily. I'll post them when he's done with them!
XOXO
