yep, i did it…and entire month without blogging!  it was kind of glorious…although i admit that i had a bit of separation anxiety at first.  and i wrote at least 10 posts in my head that i never blogged.  the time between thanksgiving and christmas is really sweet at our house.  andrew has a birthday… parties… dinners with friends… shopping… family… eating… cooking…wrapping gifts… baking…i didn’t want to miss it, and this year id didn’t!  so, i’m back…but i’m off until mid february!  we are attending the national prayer breakfast.  i had planned to go to peru, but those plans have changed, so we’ll see what comes my way instead.  and, since i am not doing a print ad, i will not have a booth at the wedding expo…so hopefully we can meet up at blossom one friday & talk wedding!!!  i love taking off for a few weeks!  i read…plan…this year i’ll be setting up my brand new home office…get taxes prepared…design samples…play outside in the snow with my littles…and keep from getting sick while photographing miserable, freezing littles for “fun family snow session” which actually end up being “kids cry frozen tears with snotty noses & bright red cheeks while my hands & camera freeze up then i get the flu sessions”!  they sound fun & beautiful and i will do them for that certain client, but they’re not session for everyone believe you-me!!!  we recently bought a gaggle of vintage hasselblad film gear & andrew & i are giddy to learn to use it!  the polaroid is so fun to pull from the camera and huddle around to see if we’ve properly exposed a single shot!  for the last year i have wanted to start learning to use film cameras…now i’ve got my chance!  so, i’m off until mid-february!  have a very happy new year…

see ya soon!!!
