It’s been awhile…

I would much rather be blogging, I assure you :)  I have been MIA for awhile as we have been in the process of moving across the state and have had two deaths in the family in less than two weeks.  For those of you who have been waiting patiently for your sneak peek, I sincerely apologize, I am hoping that life will soon be back to normal so that I can continue to share the sweetness with you!  Because of my current schedule and recent events I no longer have any availability for June, I am currently booking July sessions in Spokane ONLY and openings are very limited, so if you are interested in a July session please contact me as soon as possible!  Business aside, I would love to introduce baby “P”, he was such a sweetie and at 15 days old he was a dream to work with!  Thanks so much to his beautiful parents who allowed me to capture this very special time!

Costa Rica and my BIG news…

So much going on!  Where to begin!  Well, a couple weeks ago I visited Costa Rica with my mother and grandmother, our very first “girls only” trip!  Although I know they only brought me for my crazy spanish speaking skills, I gladly obliged ;)  It was so fun to get away and discover new places and of course, take pictures.  While we were gone all sorts of crazy things happened, my sister was hospitalized, my grandpa broke his hip, and because of mistaken identity we thought my cousin had been in a car accident!  Everybody, it turns out, is OK and I was sooooo happy to get the news that my husband had been accepted into Dental school!!!!!  We have been hoping and praying for this for so long and I still just can’t believe it has really happened.  He has been accepted into the UW School of Dentistry which is a fabulous school and exactly where we want to be.  He has also been accepted into a new program called the RIDE program which means we will be spending his first year of school in Spokane.  Soooo, this is the big news, we are moving, BUT, we will back, BUT, we will be moving again after two years.  I know, it’s a lot to take in, we will be here until July or possibly until the baby is born (August 10th due date) we’re still not sure how we’re going to swing this whole birth thing, it’s so hard to switch Dr.’s at this point.  Anyhow, have no fear I will continue to travel back to Seattle throughout the year because I don’t want to lose my fabulous clients!  In the meantime I hope you will continue to enjoy the blog and to those of you in Spokane, I can’t wait to work with you!  A few pics from Costa Rica… “bananos natil” these tiny bananas are sooo good, they ripen more quickly than a regular banana so you rarely (if ever) will see them in the states, but they are so sweet…mmm

LOVE the “birds of paradise” flowers, they look like a toucan’s beak :)

These fat and lazy “cocodrilos” lounge below a bridge where tourists throw them raw chickens (the bird was not as brave as I thought, these crocs are LAZY!)

Punxsutawney Phil…

…Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators, I’m a believer!  For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about and are thinking that I have started my own cult (uh, no), I am referring to the dear groundhog that told us we would have six more weeks of winter, what faithful Phil failed to mention was that it would last eight weeks and that it would be snowing in Seattle in April!!?  Spring ”officially” began a couple weeks ago, so I will just celebrate the beautiful blossoms and hope that mother nature is done playing with my mind ;)
