Back to work, back to blogging
Since for some crazy reason I was more busy last week than when I actually go to work I didn't have any time to blog or to take pictures for that matter. I really wish I would have got my camera out more but at least I took some on Easter. Hopefully the nice weather will give me more of a reason to get my camera out!
Here are some from Easter:
I got Richie to pose for a quick before he changed out of his church clothes.
This kid is trained so well!! He sees the camera come out and makes this face on his own! He is probably my only willing subject.
Me and Baby Ava. This was the first time I got to meet her. She is so sweet!
Richie and his Dad. I think I know what my husband will look like in 20 years.
Here are some from Easter:

I can't wait to have kids...
so I don't have to stalk the dog around the house with my camera to get shots like this.
I don't have any other willing subjects so it seems like I only take pictures of Cyan. She is so lazy she won't even bother to get up and walk away anymore.
Hopefully I will get some good ones of the nieces and nephews on Easter.

It's how deep?!?!
So deep that if I ever see a snow shovel again it will be too soon.
So deep that both my car and Richie's car got stuck in the drive way.
So deep that my back is killing me when I try to sit up straight.
So deep that Cyan had second thoughts...
but decided to go off the deck any way.

Me in a nutshell
Of course the most important things are my pictures.
This is from a wedding last June. Nicholas took it of me while I was taking pictures of the ceremony. So, yeah... I took a picture of myself taking a picture. Ha!
These are the pictures and my Valentine on top of my armoire. I should probably change the pictures since they are all from last summer. The valentine is one of those fun ones that plays music.
These are my awards from Mount. I'm pretty proud of them. The second one down is a letter to the editor that I wrote a few years ago. I was so excited that they actually published it in the Repository.
Last but not least... my pig collection. My mom started it for me when she bought me the beanie baby one in the middle.

Desperately seeking summer...
After the super nice day yesterday waking up to pouring rain did not put me in the best mood. It seems to have had the same effects on almost everyone. So I thought maybe I would find some photos that remind me of summer. These are some of my favorites from last spring/summer.

Just keep swimming...
On Saturday we went to watch Nicholas swim in the league swim meet. This was only the 2nd swim meet we have ever gone to and I must admit that I have a new respect for sports photographers. The Nat has terrible lighting and of course he was swimming in the last lane which was the farthest from us! Of course he swam in the first and last events so we had to stay the whole time! Everyone starts looking the same after a while in swim trunks and goggles.
This was the 200 IM (I think)
One from the end of the day. I wish it wasn't so dark!
One of Victoria. She is going to be our flower girl in October.
