San Diego Photography presents Random thought time...

So, I haven't shared my random-ness in a while.. and I just know that you have been sitting there on your computer, biting your nails in anticipation of my next post. Thanks for waiting. ;)

- I think the Barefoot Contessa and her husband are the cutest thing since chubby puppies... She cooks for him.. he happily enjoys the offering. They stand so close to each other and she giggles... I bet they "cuddle" every night... ;)

- My daughter turned 7 this past week. Words cannot express the vast emotions I go through when I watch my children age. I will post about that soon...

- I shudder/cringe/die a little every time my son gleefully, and with wild abandon, shoots someone on Halo 3...

- I love this salad or any variation thereof.. and would eat it every day if I could afford the sashimi. It's expensive yo...

- My husband and I just finished this series and I am utterly and profoundly sad about it.. I feel lost not knowing if Rory and Logan ever got back together, or if Luke and Lorelai ended up married... *Sad sigh*

- I have never been so thrilled to get an email from Kaiser about test results... because I am anxiously, feverishly, hopefully awaiting a diagnosis of the pain that has been plaguing me for a few years...

- I have a deep desire to learn how to play the guitar and my rockstar husband who has played for over 20 years will not teach me... So I am probably going to figure out how to do it myself...

- This site is SO.MUCH.FUN... My husband should be very glad I am not the spender in the family...

Post some random things about you in the comments! I love learning new things about people...

Love unplanned..

San Diego photography presents A girl turning 7...

If you have read any of my blog... You must have heard me moan and complain a time or two about the bittersweet-ness of birthdays... I love the celebration of the day.. I love baking favorite goodies and taking the birthday person out for a special dinner. But, my kiddos getting a year older.. that I could do without. Each year marks another milestone closer to when those little babies of mine fly the coop... Dang! I wish I could freeze time.

But I can't.. so I will just tell you that I love this little girl of mine so much it hurts. She turned 7 and is full of joy, sass, and attitude. It is a daily effort to teach her how to say what she needs nicely..

Also you need to know that she has the softest cheeks I have ever felt, and I caress them every single night.

Happy Birthday baby...

San Diego Photography presents A Little Italy Session...

I had the absolute pleasure of taking this family's pictures back in December. We all went to college together and it was so fun to get re-connected with old friends... It didn't hurt that A and J's kiddos were just the sweetest little peaches! They made my job super easy! J works here.. so if you live near there.. Check it out. :)

Be still my heart... Isn't she precious??? She said she wanted to go home with me..And I would have taken her in a heartbeat..
mc028

Look at this little munchkin face..
mc019

She's a middle child. I sooo get her.
mc026

Seriously.. I cannot be held responsible if by accident, I pick this kiddo up and squish her sweet little cheekies...
mc041

Thanks guys for letting me capture you and your sweet girlies...

J.. I want a tour soon. ;)

Love together..

San Diego Photography presents A belated Christmas Session..

So this little one had nothing but serious faces for me. Her mamma and I were singing, and dancing and playing the tamborine to no avail. I was even down on the floor with her on my sprained knee, and she had no sympathy for me... I caught one smile at the end, but Little Miss wasn't cool with me that day! :) I still loved how the pictures turned out, and so did her mamma...

Here's a collage of favorites. And Y, thanks for the homemade enchiladas girl.. Delightful!!

San Diego Photography presents A few things...

2008 taught me that...

God knows, even when I do not.

Giving is awesome.

Running away from something I am scared of is stupid. (unless it's a tiger or predatory animal.. and then, I think, running is ok.)

A journey back to health isn't immediate.

My children will continue to grow up whether I like it or not.

I am loved just as I am.

A year (of growth, struggle, success, failure, hurts, healing) can make a big difference.


I don't do resolutions. If I see one more New Year's diet on a magazine , I might just scream. Or maybe just rip the cover off of the front. :)

But I do go into the beginning of every year with fresh hope and a new perspective.
I have hope that I can love better, live with more intention, laugh louder (that might not be possible) I am excited to see what 2009 might bring...

What do you hope for this year?

Love people..
