Crazy Busy

I feel like that's my life's theme right now. Crazy busy. Go. Go. Go.

This last weekend we took the camper "up north" so we could attend two open houses. And because it has recently come to my attention that not everyone will immediately know what I mean by that, I'm going to clarify. We had two high school graduation parties to attend. Second cousins on my side of the family.

I've got some great pictures of the "up north" family and all of us "downstate" people on my Flickr site. To see them, you'll need to be logged in. Sorry...it's habit to put them behind the friends and family filter.

However, I know not everyone has access to my friends and family photos, so here's a glimpse at our most recent graduates:

It was so nice seeing everyone. Ken and I have decided we need to pull the camper up again, though, so we can have a more leisurely visit next time. The only problem I foresee is that we're going to have a hard time finding a free weekend!

Seriously. This summer is going to be a blur of weekends.

This upcoming weekend we have our nephew's open house. And a baseball tournament for our youngest. Because we have both things going on at once, I'm going to miss our little guy's second game Saturday (I think I can make the morning one, though, so that's cool!). I figure my sister-in-law will need some help getting things ready for the party.

The following weekend we have yet another baseball tournament. We'll be camping with the other baseball families that weekend, which should be a lot of fun. And hopefully relaxing.

Then we're looking at the 4th of July weekend. We've made plans to go camping with my hubby's family and some of our friends that weekend. I'm also hoping to get some family photos done that weekend while we're visiting the beach. (The pictures on the wall are embarrassingly old and in need of an update. STAT.)

We have a bit of a break after that. Then we're looking at the last couple of baseball tournaments before our big family vacation.

Fun stuff!

Looking for Willing Victims

I've decided I'd like to expand my photography skills and experience. This means I need willing models. So far I've got a couple of people who might be willing to let me practice on them. I'm excited but nervous. I want so badly to take amazing pictures and give them each something they like. Shoot #1: Mom wants me to take Christmas pictures of her three daughters. I'm very excited, but I also want a lovely background. I was thinking of taking them to a park or some other such setting where there's a lot of pines. The problem is that Fall has just arrived and these are supposed to be Christmas pictures. Any suggestions? Shoot #2: A senior. I think I'm okay on this one. She wants fall colors in her pictures, so I just need to wait for the trees to do their thing. Then its a matter of finding the right location. Now here's my real delimna: Where do I upload them so they can be printed to look like professional pictures? Rounded corners and im...

Poor Little Doggie

The dog and I both had dentist appointments yesterday for teeth cleanings.  While my appointment turned up a crack in a couple of old cavities, one of which will require a crown (ouch!), I was at least able to walk out of my appointment without feeling miserable.  Not so for this little fella.. Cash's cleaning turned into a tooth-pulling frenzy.  He lost a total of fifteen (15!!) teeth yesterday.  The rot was so advanced in some of the teeth that an infection had spread throughout his little mouth and into his blood stream.  If we wouldn't have taken him in to the vet for this cleaning, we may have lost him.  According to the vet, the infection would have eventually worked its way to his heart and given him a heart attack. For the next five days he's on a liquid only diet of chicken noodle soup and water; he is not happy about this decision and is convinced he's starving to death.  There is a lot of whining and pacing back in forth in front o...

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's ...
