i can't believe it's almost christmas ...!!! the year has gone too quickly. a quick post as thanksgiving is here ... i'm thankful for so many things in my life, but of course my thoughts always come back to my family and friendS. the people who have molded me, and continue to do so. thank you for simply being yourselves, for being true to who you are, and for believing me and supporting me. thanks to my mama who i'm not quite sure how i would be able to do what i'm doing without ... she's such a huge help to me, and it never goes unnoticed. i'm thankful that my parents raised me the way they did, and i'm thankful that i can still hear my dad's voice in my head on many occasions, and even more thankful that i've gotten the message thru to my kids that he was a pretty cool dude :)
i'm thankful to all of my clients who keep coming back over and over -- it's such a sweet thing to see your babies grow!! and equally thankful to new clients who give me a shot.
and i'm thankful that my kids share quite a lovely bond ... they're so sweet with each other (most of the time!)
i'm so thankful to have our great yard for them to run in!! this place just fits us perfectly.
i'm thankful to get ONE shot where they're both looking at the camera ...
i'm so incredibly thankful that they remind me to laugh every day ... this little guy has got such a magnetic personality ... wow ... !!
and i'm so thankful for the unexplainable bond that my sweet girl and i have always had ...
the other night she said that she wishes i didn't have to work. this is my busy season, and my time with family and friends gets to be pretty slim. i said 'well, yea, but i've got to babe ...' same as i always say. then harp says 'me not want you to work!' and jae replied with 'but she has to, harp. it's the job she picked!' and that's so true. it's what i picked, or maybe it picked me a bit ... regardless, i'm am very thankful for it :) i'm working on my final 16 sessions ... !!! it's been a crazy fall and i can't wait to get some time to post some of the awesome pix!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
