A sprinkle of this and that

     Time for a recap of what has been happening in the life of this Mommy/Wife/Photographer in the past three weeks, give or take a day...or three....

     Life has been a whirlwind recently!  SO many shoots and SO much editing.  I had ONE entire day of being completely caught up, and although it was an awesome feeling, I yearned for more.  Weird, right?  I think I've reached that point now, where, if I'm not shooting or editing at least six days a week, I really feel like I'm slacking.  ;)  Holiday specials are about to begin, also.  (I cannot believe we are THERE already!!)

     This past Sunday Sophia and I bounced in a HUGE dyno jump, with an attached slide.  It was fantastic.  Nope, I didn't care that I was the only "kid" in there over the age of 5.  No, I didn't care that none of the other parents took part because they were too cool (more room for me!). That is a definite for her next birthday party!  No doubt.

     The Shatzer Family had our own photo session this past weekend with a fellow photo friend.  SO MUCH FUN!  So interesting and weird to be on the other end of the camera.  Took me a little warming up but the shots that we have seen so far turned out fabulous.  We love them.  {{Thanks ALEX!  I cannot wait to do yours!}}

     Tonight I had my first REAL,"Am I a bad Mommy?" episode.  Picture this, if you will:  Walking along the bike path at the beach at sunset.  Car is parked on the bike path.  (BAD idea.  Who does that!?)  I angle Sophia's baby stroller AROUND the parked car when a moving car comes flying around the bend.  My heart skipped a beat.  It was close.  Not death defying close, but close.  I could still vomit from the anxiety. Dear GOD.  I had no where to go!  I was midway past the parked car.  Could only go forward or stop.  Neither was good.  It will take me a while to shake this one, I'm sure of it.  Just feel so.... guilty.

    Off to edit. GN!
