Precious Portraits

Hey all! I have been so busy lately with Precious Portraits! It is good, and i love it, but it has been a challenge ballancing everything. It feels like I could work for two days straight and not be caught up! The part that has made it most difficult is taking on two preschool/day care centers in Corvallis that each have over 50 kids. The logistics of keeping track of the paperwork and photos for all of those kids has been a nightmare! Plus this is the first time i have ever done anything like this so I am trying to learn as I go. Hopefully all the work figuring out a system will be pay off next year if we are invited back, I certainly learned a lot! The kids range from birth to 5, so we really had to work hard, this is were Robyn is priceless. Her job is to get kids comfertable and relaxed and make them smile, which usally means she is dancing around making a fool of herself. :) The kids love her though, and we get good pictures because of it. Just catching everyone up, I need to get the kids breakfast. Love you all!

Trick-or-Treat

So we went trick-or-treating for the first time.. Kamden didn't quite get it, he liked taking the candy, but didn't want to put it in the bucket.. :) Kajsa had it down, and was having fun, and Nadine (The blond one in the photo that isn't ours except on Monday's and Fridays) who is 2, enjoyed it too, and would knock on the door and say "HELLO!" It was pretty funny, and the kids brought back a good deal of candy even just walking around the block.

Carving Pumpkins

Kamden and Kajsa both had fun carving pumkins.. kamden needed a bath when we were done!

Catching Up

Hello all.. It has been quite a long time, but I was motivated today to catch up a little bit.. I tried to sign in to post some photos, and realized I didn't remember my user name or password, so it took me the last 30 minutes to finnaly figure it out!! Anyway, I am posting a photo of the entire process of our house being built.. :)
