Happy Birthday to ME!

I know I know, it's been a ridiculous amount of time since I've updated this blog. SO long in fact I'm sure you've all given up hope of me ever updating again. But just as all hope is about to be lost -- LOOK a POST!! Get ready ya'll. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be updating completely. YES! Updating takes time guys. Lots of time. And if you are me it takes you more than twice as long as normal people because I'm such a perfectionist!! And I have to be thorough. And it doesn't help that I take pictures with my iphone, my point and shoot AND my Canon. It takes time to sort and organize through all that! Then add on top of that, two birthdays, Thanksgiving, the insanely busy holiday shooting season, Christmas, New Years, vacations, the flu and life in general it really does almost become a lost cause. But fear not! I'm updating! SO... trying to stay in chronological order here...


I had a birthday! Yes, #29. It's not all that exciting of a birthday in terms of the year. My last year in my 20s I guess? If I start to think about all the things I wanted to accomplish before I turn 30 I start to get jittery, so we won't even go there.


To celebrate Tyler took me and the kids up to Julian for a bit. But it was rather short lived. The weather was iffy (was it hot? was it humid? was it cold? rainy? I honestly can't remember exactly, it's been too long and I AM 29 now, after all). We ate at a little place that had chicken pie dumplings -- heaven on a plate... with gravy. And then I snapped a few pictures of the kids before Max had a meltdown because his throat hurt (truth be told he was pretty sick for days afterward) and Lia got rock candy in her hair, but not before we had apple pie and ice cream. 


Later that night Tyler and I went out to our favorite little Afghani restaurant but came home pretty early because I was getting sick, too. I'm pretty sure I spent the next week really really ill. Anyway... enjoy the few photos I snapped from that day! I'm remembering it as a good day filled with love and family. Can't go wrong with that, right?
