hmmm i think alice needs some excitement in her life lol..

Well things are good in life. Alice is two and is testing my every ounce of patience and abby is 9 months and is crawling like a worm literally she just pulls herself with her arms its cute and she can sit up on her own now meaning she goes from lying on her belly to sitting in one swoop lol. Life at work is busy, I sit on the powwow committe lol I have no idea how that came about and I am doing a bunch of other things.. fun. But it got a deal that I can take the photos at the Powwow.. maybe by then I will get a fancy pants new lense but for now I am happy with what I have now.

Photography wise I contemplating starting another blog but nah I think this one is appropriate but i need to jazz it up more. I am learning more about my camera thanks to J I can use the manual settings all by myself lol. I am excited for spring which means spring pictures. On Victoria day i am taking photos of a lil girl same age as abby and she is soo cute. I need to take pics of my newphew Dom before my sisters beats me up lol and I am doing a Wedding at the end of May and today I am doing portraits for Samson Trust Fund annual report.. I bought a backdrop off a local photographer her its pink but I am contemplating dying it maybe not pink lol. I am learning more as I go along and I still charge the low price of $50 and you get a CD with high resolution photos all of them and i edit a good portion. I would charge more but not until I get a better porfolio and feel confident about charging and I need more experience rather just taking pics of my kids lol.

Well hopefully i will jazz up this site soon... thx for keeping posted..

Before I was Mom

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .
