OK Nadine - I finally got to you and I am sorry that it took so long.
Ren and I go way back to when MC Hammer pants with black and white polka-dot shits where in style. I am so glad that the hair styles have changed and that you have a wonderful wife to make sure your fashion stays in check. I feel that our location reflected your personality the best -it was colorful, lively and just made me happy.
Barbara contacted me about six months ago and wanted to book me for the day after Thanksgiving for a family photo shoot. Hmmm…let me see, shopping or work? Yeah, work won the battle this year and boy was I glad.
Shoots are hard enough with one child but seven can be really tough. It took me about a half an hour to remember everyones names - but I did and I was quite impressed with myself. It was such a delight to work with such well behaved and beautiful children - they really made my job easy.
Barabra, here is a little taste of from your shoot - I will have the rest ready later today.
The Martins were one of the families that I started my blog with this year. At the time no one knew that there was a little bun in the oven. Looking back now they all laughed at the fact that Rhonda even play football last year during the holidays not knowing she was pregnant.
Well the Martins are happy to be one member stranger and even more beautiful. Over the Thanksgiving holidays I was able to meet the new member of the bunch and update their family portraits. I say why stop - just keep on adding. You all are such a beautiful family, one more won’t hurt - wink, wink Sherry.
I know you have all heard it before, but I just love Matilda Jane clothing for little girls. I will just let the photos speak for themselves - here is a quick peek.
Here I go again - the start of a few weeks of sleepless nights and over eating to calm my twisted nerves -ok deep breath.
In just a few hours I will be sitting in an office drinking…let me guess, a bad tasting orange solution prepping for another CT scan. God I hate those test and after 5 year it does not seem any easier or fun. I can still clearly remember the first time I had a CT - and it was no fun. The combination of having to over fill my belly by drinking a milky chalk like “shake” and the iodine injected into my veins made me though up all over the machine and whoever else was around. Being tied down to a table did not help much as vomit collected in he back of my throat and starting choking me - I warned them it was coming..they just didn’t believe me. I still have that gag reflex thing going on but I have learned to control it much better - the up chuck happens at the end now instead of the middle. I know I am being a big baby - but I still stand by my story…I hate having these test done.
Later this week I will go in again - this time I will visit my friends down in Nuclear Medicine for a PET scan. The PET scan is not so bad and I am actually required to lay still for one hour…I just hope it won’t take them 20 minutes of them digging around in my arm with a needle to find my vain this time. The one complaint I have this test is the cold -does it really need to be so cold in there?
The next few weeks of waiting for the results will be toucher - if it is bad, I really don’t want to know. I am so tired of dealing with all of this and I want it to go away for good - I just want to enjoy life without this “thing” hanging over me like a dark cloud. OK…DEEP BREATH.
Well, my heart is heavy as I wait and I will continue to keep myself busy as a way to prevent insanity - I don’t think that has set in as yet. I am starting to think that I should call and put all of this off for a month or two. First I should get though the holidays, then maybe after Gio’s birthday. Hmmmm…maybe it’s to late - but insanity is relative.
I know in the end it will be ok, I just wish I could fast forward and be done already. I will pst something more cheerful when I get back.
