where on earth have I been . . . .

(SEE UPDATED POST BELOW)

Good question! I don't know what happened to me - just taking a break (I guess!) and I've missed blogging immensely and yet I got so many things done - got to bed early, exercised (yes, exercised). Many things have happened in the last month. Will try and catch up but I may have to grab my calendar and do a few updates.

6 of our 7 kids are showing up for our little family reunion and July 4th celebration but I won't be able to interact with them a lot as I'm with my mom until she perks up. Griffin and Katrina are the only ones not able to make it as they are in Utah with her family. I'm a little sad about missing everyone - but you do what you have to do. Cort and Ash will be leaving in the morning to head to her brother's wedding in Washington. Tyler and Nicole arrived from Reno and will be with us through July 4th. Cameron showed up this morning with Leah - Whit and Schuyler will be here tomorrow evening and head to the parade for some real fun!

Still been shooting LOTS AND LOTS of photos and have some exciting news to share - more magazines calling to use photos in their publications - so honored and humbled! It's been fun. More on that later.
