Wonder Woman Circa 1970's vs. Wonder Woman Circa 2007

You decide. Who makes a better Wonder Woman? She got LOTS of rave reviews from the folks handing out treats :) Everyone couldn't stop laughing at her and to make it even better, it was SO windy and her cape was just blowing in the wind! *sigh* My hero...

Oh and the last picture of the trick or treaters...HOW CUTE ARE THEY? haha...we couldn't stop laughing. It was the entire Star Wars gang :) Too precious!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Thought for the day...

I mustered up this thought today:

When things are at their toughest, and you just can't fathom how you are going to make it through another minute, always remember that somewhere out there is a person who is dealing with hardships that you can't even begin to imagine. When you realize this, you'll begin to count your blessings...because we ALL are blessed, no matter how indiscreetly...just look for them, they're there.

Happy Fall Ya'll :)

A few from the local pumpkin festival :) It was muggy, overcast and crowded, but I managed to weasel a few fake smiles out of her somehow :)

Little bit o' craziness!

Well, I've sort of been out-of-the-loop this last week due to several factors. One of which...ta-da...the little one is sick AGAIN! That's right...not only did she JUST get better and we were getting ready to yank her off of the nebulizer, but now after flying on an airplane for 3.5 hours from Boston she has gotten another cold and we are going to stay on the nebulizer again for who knows how long. Last time it took her 2 months to shake her cold :( I hate respiratory season...have I said that before? Poor little girl...I hate it when she's sick. She says such sweet little things like "mommy, I not feeling well" and it just makes me die a little inside. So, prayers for her quick recovery...it's going to be a LONG season. I'm tired, hubby is tired, she's tired...we're all tired! So, if you are one of those dear friends who has called this past week (we love you) that's our story and update and thank you for always checking in to see how things are going with her...seems the road has been paved with rocks for the last few months, here's to hoping there is some smooth pavement ahead!

I had too many favorites and as I continued to go through them it only got worse haha, so here are a few more that I just really loved :)

 

Sneak peek :)

This is Marisa and Brent from Wichita :) I just wanted to post a few images from their engagement session! I don't want to share too many, because I want the rest to be a surprise, but they are so fantastic, I couldn't be happier :) This couple is incredibly fun, were totally receptive to different ideas and we had such a great time. I can't believe how beautiful they are as a couple and they are so in love. Brent and Marisa, thank you for letting me share in preparing for your big day :) I'm looking forward to June :)

Out-of-town

I will be heading out for Kansas today. Wanted to let my clients know that I will be checking my messages while I am away, so if you'd like to schedule a session or are calling to ask about prints-etc., I will be in touch with you while I am on the road, as I'll have my cell phone with me. See you all on Tuesday :)
