It appears I have dropped off the face of the earth. I haven’t posted anything here in months, and considering I do no real marketing and my main form of advertising is word-of-mouth, not blogging is a critical mistake. I plan to change that in the coming months. For real.
For now, I will say Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and here’s a photo from earlier this week.
Oy. I am so behind on blogging. First up, here are a few pics of an album I did for a client. This is what a session album looks like. I think they’re awesome. The photos are mounted on the pages with mats. This album has 30 pages (the maximum available–you can see how thick this is already).
Lyle’s birthday party was a blast. We invited his friends from preschool plus a couple neighbors over to play in two inflatable kiddie pools in our backyard. We did it in the morning and served quiche, bagels, fruit, coffee, and juice. And oddly, it worked out that none of the boys we invited could make it to the party, so it was all girls except Lyle. How funny is that??
And we served cupcakes, of course.
On Wednesday, Lyle turned 3. I know everyone says it, but I can’t believe it’s already been 3 years. When we decided to have a baby, that’s all I really thought about…having a BABY. I did not think about what it might be like to have a little boy, a 3-year-old who goes to camp and loves the color yellow and plays with trains and has (strong) preferences for what foods he eats. Probably because I just didn’t know what it might be like–I had no idea how life with a 3-year-old worked.
When I picked him up from camp after lunch on his birthday, I took him to a cupcake boutique in Montrose to celebrate. He picked out a cupcake with green frosting and sprinkles, and after he ate all the icing off, he asked for my icing. (Which I still hadn’t touched, because I was too busy taking pictures of him.) I hate icing, so I scooped the icing off mine and plopped it on top of his cupcake, and he ate that, too. He thought the visit to the cupcake store was a great way to celebrate. I did too.
Two weeks ago I was in San Diego. Last week I was in Dallas visiting my mom and dad. This week, I am back in Houston, where the temperature is a sweltering 95 degrees right now and it is too hot to do anything outside except this.
