Hoping for a Splendiferous Christmas!



My new favorite children's book:
I think I may be reading this book to my students everyday until Christmas break! It never hurts for them to learn all of her fancy language and its just too cute!

A picture of our house decked out in Christmas lights! Alec did a great job and only fell off the ladder once (he's okay, and said his fall was rather graceful)! He is so meticulous about the lights...just another thing I love about him!
I can't believe its December already!! Where did 2009 go???

First off let me say "Thank You" to everyone for your prayers about my surgery! It went great and I'm feeling wonderful! I took a week and a half off from work and it was sure nice. Although my kids were "little hellions" while I was gone as someone told me (not that they aren't with me). I really did miss them! I was glad to get back and "whip" them back into shape (no I don't really whip them, don't worry).

In other news: Fronk had his little surgery yesterday and I was looking forward to him kind of being mellow and calm...wrong! Its as if he never had surgery!

I have been taking a little more time to think about maybe starting a photography business. It kinda scares me to even say anything on here about it. I've never been one of those people who is overly confident (or any confident for that matter). I usually think most everything I do isn't good enough. Because of that I've missed out on a lot of opportunities in my life. But photography is something that I am very passionate about. I know that I have a lot to learn about but I'm having fun experimenting!

My sweet sister-in-law asked me to take pictures of her children again this year for their Christmas card. We had so much fun and I loved the location that we used!













Let me know what you think of these photos...Please! Any feedback would be nice. And if you live in the Tulsa area and want your picture made for free let me know. I need any practice I can get! :)

Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving! I'm off this evening to the Manheim Steamroller concert with my family...judge me if you'd like I'm a sucker for their Christmas music!
