[redhandedphotography: Mother/Daughter Photoshoot]

Stomach flu.  Day four.  And I am so thankful that I don't have the sinus thing going around (which makes sleep impossible) ... I'll take trips to the bathroom any day over that.

And let me just say how grateful I am for my family who has really, really helped me these last few days.  Picking the boys up from school, taking them to swimming lessons, helping with piano practice, taking them to piano lessons, bringing soup for me and making dinner for my kids.  Mom S and Mom D ... you are the BEST.  I love you!!!

Ok.  Back to bed I go - but I've done another pre-post for a mother/daughter photoshoot here. 

Come stop by, and the rest should be up soon.  After all - I don't have a tv in our room ... so the computer is my friend (almost as much as the bathroom *wink*).

Have a good one.

I've been under the weather the last couple of days ... well, I feel more like I'm under a BUS, not the weather.  But that's just being picky.

Life has been ticking along and since I've been stuck in bed, I've been taking moments here and there to finish up the editing process for my latest photoshoots.  Gotta stay on top of it, as there are more shoots scheduled this week ...

So - head on over to my Redhanded Photography blog to see the latest set of pics by clicking here.

Have a great one!  And I hope you don't catch what I have *ugh*!

... I have only a moment here ... I'm working like a maniac on taxes, photos, and I feel a bit under the weather too ...

But - for a sneek peek at one of this past Friday's shoots, please check out my Redhanded photography blog here ...

Have a great one!

[vacations: Camping In the Rain]

This past weekend was Easter - which is a wonderful time for families to get together and celebrate God's gift of grace to us.  It's also a time where new memories can be made around the dinner table, outside during Easter egg hunts, and playing games together. 

That's what we were able to do - except we did it ... camping.

Now - let me clarify.  "Camping" comes in all sorts of forms ... but my parents recently got a "5th Wheel" for a fantastic cross-Canada trip they're planning - and we got to try it out with them for a few days.

And it's a good thing ... I mean, who goes CAMPING the first weekend in April???  Not many, I assure you.  The campground was deserted, except for us and my in-laws (it was a "grandparents" weekend) ... Probably because it was raining half the time.  But there was plenty to do inside ... games, colouring, movies, *cough* um.  Eating.  *smirk*.

But when it wasn't raining, we took advantage of it.  The boys LOVED riding their bikes, playing on the playground, and putting at the little mini golf the campground had ...

And even with a little bit of mist, we were able to get the campfire going - much to Tias' delight.  And with a campfire always comes s'mores, right?

We even had an Easter egg hunt - and I gotta say - it was SUPER fun in the campground ... the boys were giddy with excitement.

Katia was a bit unsure of the whole thing - and watched with her big eyes in silence.  Oh, she makes me so full of smiles *grin*!!

So - that was our weekend away.  We had a fantastic time, sharing our kids with both sets of grandparents (what could be better than that??) ... and the kids were over the moon with the whole thing.  We're already trying to figure out when we can do it again.

Now?  Phwef.  Preparing taxes.  I'm up to my eyeballs in sorting out papers and such ... isn't this such a fun time of year *wink*??  Taxes, worship leading Sunday, two photoshoots tomorrow, still working on branding "redhanded", Siah's preschool fundraiser ... and something else I have up my sleeve that I'll be sharing soon.

No.  I'm not pregnant!  *eye roll*.

Have a good one *grin*!!

[redhandedphotography: Katia's 7 Months Old. Yikes.]

Can you believe it?  SEVEN months old?

I can say that I have enjoyed every single second with her, and have savoured her toes and squeels ... She's rolling from one side of the room to the other, not quite sitting up yet, and flails about when she sees someone who makes her happy ...

I posted some pics of the kiddies on my Redhanded Photography blog here.  Would love for you to stop by ...  And may your Easter weekend be full of family, friends and new wonderful memories. 

He is risen.
