As I finish some final orders for the Christmas photo season, I decided to take a break and bring my blog up to something festive in color to fit the season.
I don't know about most of you, but I'm feeling very blessed this year. Yes, we have had some negative things in our lives this year just like the rest of you, but all in all, we are so fortunate.
We have welcomed a grandson into the family. His name is Logan and he is living in California. His mommy had some health issues during and after birth, but is doing very well now. We are blessed for both of those things.
We had the "last" daughter get married in the fall and we were able to make the trip to Kansas City for that big event. It also meant being able to spend some quality time with Madison (20 months) for the second time this year. She is a big Skype buddy these days too.
We are fortunate to have Lilly and Gage with us in Tennessee and they are very precious. They grow and change daily. We welcomed a "new" grandchild into our midst when Chelsea married this summer. Her name is Lexi and a real sweetie.
We have been blessed that a few months after his work ending in W.Virginia, Tim was able to get some contract work with people he had worked for in the past.(whew!) Recently he landed a job (at least for 18 months) with Nissan. He now has a "real" job and even gets to stay at home. We really thought he would be going out of state again.
I've been able to visit my brother this year (thanks to my parents) and was welcomed by the most loving people ever! I had a wonderful time with his family there and he and I were able to play and bond and just be kids again. How great was that time with him! Thanks Kent.
We are very blessed to have our loved ones and friends safe and with us (even if far in distance) and I pray for those who have lost someone in their lives this year as well. This is a season of love and a painful time for those in mourning (you are in my thoughts, Lisa and David).
I want to take this time to wish all of you - my clients, my friends and those clients who have become friends! A very Merry Christmas. I appreciate each and every one of you and I so enjoy helping capture the memories for your loved ones.
I've enjoyed watching your babies grow into children and your children grow into adulthood. I have been blessed in that way and it is really great.
May all of you have a prosporous 2011 and enjoy every moment that you have with those you love and who love you. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
