Most of the time, they fight. Typically it's Ella crying and Caleb stomping off with the toy or it's Ella running away, clearly guilty of something mischievous! But when a camera is in their face they both know how to throw on the cheese...
There is something about taking pictures that makes my heart race. I cannot describe this feeling. It's just there. It's always been there.
It's fair to say that I've reflected on alot of the choices I have made with my life; the directions I've chosen and the ones I have avoided. Photography is one of them.
My hope for my next chapter is one of direction, clarity and success. It's odd to say this but I have never wanted anything so much more in my life than a future in this field. (my children being the only exception!)
So, in the next month I will be pursuing my photography and creating the foundation for what I hope is my future. I'm quite sure there will be roadblocks but I am hopeful that I will be able to overcome these obstacles.
In the next month, things on my blog will be changing. I will continue to do my cards because I love doing them, but my primary focus will be photography.
I look forward to sharing this with all of you.
There is nothing like getting away when everything around you is in mayhem. In a matter of a few weeks I've found out that I will no longer have a job, my health insurance has tripled and that I need to address some health issues I have been ignoring.
Sal and I were fortunate enough, madness aside, to actually enjoy ourselves on this cruise. We spent most of time laughing about stuff weighing on our minds, talking about the future and many of my fears. The idea of not knowing what's ahead or in store for me is very sobering. That aside, we had the most amazing mini vacation. It was definitely long overdue and I can't wait to do it again. I'm already trying to plan our next one!
Here a few of my favorite photos from our trip:
And because I'm bored and likely so are you, here is a picture of our 16 month old english bulldog, Jack!
Between Jack and our daughter Ella, we definitely have our hands full.
Jack enjoys short walks around the complex, Ella's shoes, door frames, long naps, sunny days and attention.
And for those of you who want to run out and buy a bulldog because they are so damn cute, I would ask you to re-consider now! Bulldogs are adorable but they are lots of work!
And Jack at 16 months is weighing in at 61 pounds of solid cuteness! 
I truly enjoyed taking photos of my Grandparents. I don't believe we have any photos of my Grandmother (I call her, "Nana") smiling. Well, I guess having a camera in your face just puts you into a good giggly mood. Yay!
Here are a few of my favorites from our day at the park:
