First Photo Shoot

I had my first photo shoot this morning (other than impromptu's with Laiden) and it went superbly (I thought!). I'd like to give a ginormous thanks to my friends for getting up at the butt-crack of dawn (not to mention actually letting me take their picture!)....hopefully these images are just repayment. I had a blast photographing you guys, and your shots turned out awesome! For the full album check out my facebook page.

Okay, on to other news. Carmen is out of town this weekend at a cosmetology/fashion convention in Chicago, so Laiden and I are batch'in it up...though, currently, he is asleep. He's not very much fun to party with...poops out pretty early. He has been growing up so quickly that neither Carmen or I can hardly keep up. Every day more time slips by, and he gets that much older. Laiden has become quite the rambunctious (wow...spelled that right on the first try!), curious, fitfully-happy little kid, and I am quite proud of him (when he's not screaming, "Mine! Mine!") Unfortunately, we found out this week that his best friend will be moving (along with his parents) to Washington D.C. This family is one that we met shortly after moving to Minneapolis and have begun to grow close to. We will miss them dearly.

But, alas, stop crying. I know, I know, all (1) of my readers are bawling their eyes out right now. But cheer up, spring is here! With the temp expected to brush into the 70's this week, the fever has (or nearly has) broken, and I am pumped. In fact...I think I'd go so far as to say I am SUPER pumped, but that may be pushing it. After all, I can't even put on my bikini yet. I'll sign off with a salutation from my high school health teacher. "Class, keep your pants up, your tops down, and have a great weekend (or week)!"
