Busy little Beaver

It has been a busy time in the world of Henderson dear Internets.

Cammy and I went to Grants Farm with her classmates. My little ball of wonder fed an elephant! My kid is just so awesome. Some days I am just in awe of the people they are. Especially Cammy. She is just so full of curiousity, and is so happy. Just a well of good tidings. She is so full of confidence and is not afraid to say what she thinks and how she feels. I know her life is a work in progress but somedays I am proud of hte job our support system has done wth her as a person, and who we have all helped her become.
She went to an great birthday party last week it was just four girls and the birthday girl, and it was held so that at the end of the day so there was enough time for bath and a story then it was bed time - GENIUS! I tell you!
Bri has beena little sick lately - just a tad under the weather. The occasional fever, mostly just sluggish and not able to keep many solids down (fun times!) but all in all she has bounced back well. She’s taken to the outside and wants to spend allof her time outside - which is a mixed blessing as my kids both love being outdoor but htey are both like candy for mosquitos. So we are trying to work out a less chemically HARSH was to fight that battle.

Jerry and I went to dinner with our friends again tyesterday. Its downtown restaraunt week which we like to use to try new places, I think we found a serious contender for best place to take a group of people who you love and don’t mind sharing a fork with.

Mosaic.

It was so good it gets its own paragraph break. We tried almost everything on the menu. Thing that left a lasting impression, the Sea Bass, the Kabob, the lacquered Chicken (we had to order anything that made us think you were ordering food from HomeDepot.) It was Mojito special night and we ordered the Watermelon Mojito (cause how could we not?) and the blueberry Mojitos were AWESOME. The thing I like most about our life right now is that Jerry and I have a blended family that is truly blended. My friends and family adore his and vice versa. I love that we don’t go out with his friends on Tuesday and my friends on Thursday. That we can call them all and they are excited to get together. We had very interesting table converstaion. We watched the olympics on a 45 in flat screen near our table we made pleanty of comments about the clear violation by china if they think anybody is buying that someof those girls are 16. And while I don’t want to turn tape recorder some of the classic lines of the night were…

  • Give me some of that sweet gravy! (it was soup)
  • Oh.. you see how that gymnast is lookin at that other chick? Shes plugged into the Hatrix.
  • (from a vegetarian) I really do remember meat! (us to the vegetarian) that meat you didn’t eat? it was awesome.
  • Seriously? You can get a pole in a box? Yes, a stripper pole in a box, yes over at … they sell em, I bought one as a gift..

It was the kind of night that you think the stars have to be aligned to have happen but we have these kinds of good times everytime wehang out with our friends, so I can only count myself as extrememly blessed to have them in my life.

In photography news the “Its Intimate” portion of my work, is truly coming along. We will hopefully formally launch in the next few weeks. I am about to announce holiday session specials for cards and I am looking for Senior ambassadors, so if you know any High School Juniors who are interested in getting a great deal on their senior session please feel free to forward my information to them.   

Funny thing is I have gotten way more interest from my portrait sessions than I thought that I would. And I sincerely thank you for that. I appreciate all that you do and how forgiving you all have been as I work the kinks out of my process. Your feed back has been invaluable - good and bad, I want to hear it all, and I thank you for taking the time to tell me what you honestly think.  I am attending a seminar that I am hoping to learn more about this side of the art and will hopefully make for better experices for both you and I.

I’ll be posting more sessions in the near future, I am sort of working on finishing some of the other elements of the site and that has taken priority, so bear with me more stuff is coming soon!


Part II You’ve Got Male

We woke up Sunday morning and Bri and I were watching food network as we do sometimes, and when Jerry and Cammy came down to join us they decided that the Orange Cranberry Scones Barefoot Contessa was making on TV would be a good thing, and they were right.

After a quick trip to the grocery Cammy and I whipped up a double batch pretty quick, and froze some of them for later. She was extra helpful, she did a great job mixing the icing for drizzle, cutting heart shaped scones, and after I made some bacon and OJ she was pretty happy with her morning. Not quite waffles, but close. We had a lazy kinda morning, with breakfast not actually happening til


Weekend Pleasure Seekers Pt I

It was a long lazy weekend – designed to make the hubby happy, and apparently it was a rousing success. Thus this will be a long lazy post.. broken into parts each posted through out the day… And I still hvaen’t finished my pictures, I forgot all of my editing software is on the laptop I gave my mom and I don’t get it back til tomorrow so - this will be the last week of light picture posting. tis the price of loving your mother.

Anywho.

Friday we hung light – put Cam down at a decent hour. Then my girls came and kidnapped me with and Bri, who seems to have some ‘mommy’s gonna go have some fun’ radar and wakes up EVERY time I get ready to go have a good time- so we took her with for some late night Cocktails and appetizers at Cheesecake factory. Yes I am the chick who walks into the restaurant at 11 p.m with an infant for drinks.

Jerry was tired so he was asleep before

Happy Monday

So this weekend was a score on so many levels, most particularly Sunday.

Weekend lesson learned: even kids need a date night.

What do you mean Raquita?

Oh dear internets let me explain.

imgp5501Since the introduction of dear Miss Bri, who in the previous post picture was eating a lovely Gnome, she has, by necessity taken Cammys place as the automatic sidekick to mommy. When I have to go somewhere, and I’ll be gone for more than say two hours, Bri typically must come with, as she requires my body for meals. Which means either Cammy must stay with her father or She must share what used to be her one on one
