More belly Welcome Ava

There is something about a woman who truly wants to be pregnant. Something so special about the glow a woman can get when she is with child and that is EXACTLY where she wants to be. Patty had it. It was just so easy to watch. Pattys mom passed away before her daughter was bon (she made her appearance shortly after Obama won the election - Nov 4th was her due date) I got a chance to ask her about how she felt to be a mom, and her answers gave me a smile. Patty is my fathers sister, and my most active Aunt on his sidee of my family. She gave me alot to look up to and taught me alot about the woman I wanted to be when I grew up, and the woman I strive to be now. It was certainly strange to be giving my aunt advice and soothing her nerves about motherhood and the birthing process. But I was truly honored to do so. Baby Ava has the most diligent angel in your mother I am sure, Patty and I am honored that you trusted me with your images. Its even more special that you came down for Baltimore for the session. I’m excited to meet Little Ava and do her new born session in December!

Oh to the dad Kwame I heard you on NPR talking about your business. Congrats! You got your MBA, a Baby and your first plug on NPR - its been a great stretch for you - I’m sure its only gonna get better.

Won me some sweet loot over at BluDomain - I got some cool Card Templates and other fun stuff. So thanks Obama - not that I wouldn’t have voted anyway. I do. My great granny is the reason I vote, shes 93 and not feelin real hot lately, so if you pray - hell if you don’t if you wouldn’t mind prayin that my Granny Vorece feels better. I know its selfish to want her to stay around after 93 years of a full life but dang it, I’m feelin a little selfish.

That is all.

I’m sorry I’ve been a little slow with the posting and the pictures and all - my hits have taken a nose dive and I know thats all my fault. I’m sorry fine internets. You know I loves you right? Its totally not you, its my grand dreams of photography domination and budding photography business. The thing is internets, You know how you want to do something and you can see it in your mind as plain as the boobs on your chest nose on your face? My goal is to find the best way to make other people see what I want to do. And Thats taking a little more time than I originally thought. But when I get this where I want it to be I hope you will all be as pleased as I am.

Weekend recap

onclick="return hs.expand(this)" width="500" height="332" />Ah dear internets - what to say?

It has been a full, full time since my last post.

Have I mentioned my Bri took her first steps? four perfect little steps right to me. I’m sure I mentioned that shes been standing up since Sheba’s visit and when I told Sheba about her now walking she said she was totally taking credit for it. Bri is not really confident about the walking she still prefers to scoot across the floor, and it looks like she will be forgoing the whole crawling thing just as her sister did.

my little angel is such a old lady spirit. She and her sister are total opposites yet just alike, and such fun to watch together.

We had a relatively solid weekend. I have been working on building the photography so consistanly this weekend was a welcome relief and change as most of my building this weekend has been knowledge based, which gives me the space to be home with my husband and children. I see the sacrafice they make by helping me do this. My kids don’t exactly know how they are helping, as I try ot focus as much of my attention as won’t go wandering to my last session on them when they are awake. But bed time is way more strictly enforced as thats the time I am most free to get alot of work done. Even still nothing makes me feel more wonderful than when my kids want me to do bed time, and want me to sit for dinner. Sometimes they choose daddy, as they should. It still leaves a little pang of jealousy. He is such a wonderful daddy I can’t blame them at all.

This weeknd also gave me a chance to turn the camera on my girls. Cammy and Bri were invited to a birthday party of another blog friend, who was and has returned to IRL friend status with the QUICKNESS. I have learned alot about myself and the thing I learned first and foremost is that I miss having real life friends. Spoken is my heart but she works 90 hours a week, and she doesn’t have kids. Shoot the only kids she even likes are mine and one of her neices. So it was so refreshing to talk to someone who is artistic, and a mom, and has some of the same concerns and desires that I do. We had so much fun talking and then hanging out at the birthday party we went out to discuss all manner of stuff again on Sunday night. I had so much fun I forgot to take a single picture.

The birthday party was a two part affair. We met up at the transportation museum in I guess that would be sort of south county sort of mid county hybrid.

But it was AWESOME.

Dude, I probably had more fun than the kids. But the kids had a great time too. Jerry came with us to the Museum. Which was awesome. Cammy thrives off of us as a family unit and its so good to flex that outside of our four walls. Besides they make me so proud. All the time. I love that I got to watch Cammy trail after her daddy as he showed her all the train cars. Shes so dainty next to his masculine air. My friend has a boy, it was his birthday and he turned two. And it was also very interesting to watch Cammy relate to a little boy and we all agreed it was probably in all of our best interest that Gabrielle was not Gabriel. She was not enthused by his boyish charm.

Gabrielle was the belle of the ball. Shes is such a good baby in general and for the first time she really liked these new people instantly. We went with the birthday boys parents and grandparents and Bri was quite happy to lounge with any of them, and she smiled at them all.

I know, major right!

Cammy got her water play on. She was amazed byt he working large pool in their back yard, and was promptly like, “Mom, we need one of those.” Althought the Cammy line of the night was:

Cammy (while spearking a bite of cake with her fork): My tummy is upset.
Jerry: Cammy you can’t have cake if your tummy is upset. (reaching for her cake)
Cammy: My tummy doesn’t hurt! (pulling her cake away)
Jerry: Cammy you just said it hurts, does it hurt or not?
Cammy: (thinking) Yes…. and NO! big smile.

She got to keep her cake.

more blogging to come..
