Looking at my February goals:

*Making Valentine’s for the grandparents was super fun. Owen was really thinking about each one as he made them. I love his little thinking face.

*Everyday Moments. Oh, I have loved this one! I think this should be a year round goal. Not just for Owen but during my sessions. I LOVE everyday moments. Here are a few sessions of Owen this month that were just everyday.

A Great Leap

Cabin Fever

This One’s For the Grandparents – this one has some portraits, too. I just love him on the swings!

Sweet Shot Tuesday

*Take more pictures with me in them. This month I had a whole session of just Owen and I. I still haven’t finished editing and posting them yet simply because I feel like I should be editing my client’s pictures first. Here is just one fun shot from the session. I have loved aviators forever.

  *Still haven’t decided on if I want all of the forms/contracts online. I am still thinking about this one.

  *Yes – I still need to organize the home office. I need to plan a trip to IKEA this month so I’m sure that will help.

  *Cook 3 – 4 times a week. Wow – this has been really fun. Some favorite recipes from this month include

   Crockpot Bbq Beer Chicken – This takes five minutes to make and I love Sweet Baby Ray’s!

   Brown Butter Parmesan Chicken Linguine – I made this twice in one week. Seriously – that good!

   Sausage Crepes – I love crepes! We made these a few times!

   Can you tell I love the blog, How Sweet It is? (Two out of the three recipes are from this blog) There are so many on her blog that I haven’t tried yet. The Greek Yogurt Pancakes look awesome!

My goals for February went well -I still need to work on organizing my home office!

Goals for March:

*Take Owen to Pullen Park to ride the carousel

*Attempt some Jillian Michaels dvds- at least once or twice a week

*Drop off all information to my CPA for 2011 taxes.

*Print more pictures and display them in our house. I really want a 20 x 30 Mpix canvas but that may have to wait a month or two. It’s a big decision, too, so I’m going to have to figure out which picture to print.

*Organize my closet.

 *Try one new recipe from the Pioneer Woman.

Okay, now it’s time to think of a fun St. Patrick’s Day craft for this month!

This week’s theme is A Great Leap.

I thought we were going to have a rainy day yesterday but it just didn’t happen. A few raindrops fell here and there but no rain. Last night there were a few downpours, so this morning Owen and I went out in search of some mud puddles.

All done!

I am really enjoying this project – I have documented some really special moments and everyday pictures of Owen. I highly recommend a project so that you are taking pictures of your little ones each week! It’s fun to have a theme which inspires you. There are several 52 week projects, 365 projects, and even some 12 month projects.

Matt and Jen waited to announce in pictures that Ben is going to have a little brother! Our original date was snowed out so they had to wait four more days to share the news! It was absolutely gorgeous out the day of the session! You might remember Ben from his 18 month pictures! Such a handsome little man and soon he will have a little brother to play with!

This week, I had the privilege of taking photos for Chasing Mermaids, an online store which sells children’s boutique clothing. Raedene, the owner, sells through facebook and etsy so be sure to check out both pages! These clothes are absolutely gorgeous! I love the boys clothes (especially the navy whale shirt and shorts – LOVE!) but the girls clothes are incredible! (If I had a girl, I would be in trouble!) She really goes the extra mile with the details. I love the ruffles, trim, and borders. Too too cute! She is truly talented and puts a lot of thought into the clothes! The session ran very smoothly and the little ones were just as happy as can be!
