I havent blogged much this year. It seems that stealing a few minutes to blog is impossible these days. So much has happened this year. Sam is two. Avah is almost 5. Briana will be 8 in January. I have 3 growing kids and no free time to prove it! August is almost over and with that comes a new school year. Our table will be full with a second grader and a kindergartener. I imagine Samuel will keep us all extra busy each morning as well. My little sister is about to be a Mommy, and when she returns to work I will be caring for her sweet baby boy. The girls and I are so excited to have a new baby in the house! We are also days away from the beginning of a major renovation of our home. We are doubling the size of this sweet little house. I can not wait to share it all on here. Of course, I have much to catch up on first.

So why am I telling you the story of our 2011 so quickly? Well…because it gives you the reason for this post. The reason for my new direction. This blog has been devoted to my photography business. (and though my empty blog  suggests 2011 has not been busy…I can assure you, it has! I am just SO behind!) I throw bits and pieces of our day to day life on here when I think about it, but other than that…its mostly been here to showcase my beautiful clients!

Ive been doing a bit of thinking. Okay, a lot of thinking. The end of 2011 will be quite busy for us. In order for me to remain somewhat sane, Ive decided to cut back the number of clients I will take on from now until January 2012. I need this time to step back and make sure our day to day family life adapts well to all of the changes coming our way. Ive also decided that this blog should feature more of this day to day life that we speak of!!! I know Ive said in the past that I want to blog more. Especially about my kids. And then I get caught up in this life and the blog suffers. Vicious cycle! Perhaps you would like to hear about our adventures in home education? Id love to share, if its something my readers would enjoy!

With that, Ill leave you with a couple of sweet pictures of my two year old. sigh…two already. More info about session availability and some sweet second birthday pictures to come! Watch for blog updates as well! It is time for a little blog  “housekeeping” I think!

I heard her telling Avah that she wanted to use a pillow for their “newborn pictures”

I heard alot of posing instructions being tossed around

I heard Sam’s little voice saying “shheeez”

This is what you get when Briana has my point and shoot…
