  • And a moving date looms…

    Whew! Please excuse my absence these past few months! Wow… it really has been over a month since I last posted! I keep up more on Facebook… (Are we friends yet?). But I did want to post a little bit of an update…

    Corpus Christi, here we come?

    Corpus sea gullI know. That’s a question? Welcome to the world of the medical school waiting game!  After months of clinical rotations, applications, and interviews we now eagerly await “The Match”! With graduation looming for Todd in May we hope to know by March where residency will be. Our top choice? Corpus Christi, Texas. Not only for the gorgeous beach front location (with a resonable living standard), but an amazing ER residency program at Christus Spohn Hospital. The clinical rotation there was Todd’s best experience anywhere and he got glowing reviews from the staff. One resident even recommended a realtor to us and we thoroughly enjoyed looking at some housing in and around Corpus which only further cemented our decision to make Corpus our top choice! So now we wait…. and pack; …and start listing our house here in Kansas City as soon as possible. (Whew! I feel tired just writing that!!)

    I’ll try to keep you in the loop as we find out more! Ta, ta for now!

  • Extended Family Group Shoot

    Well, I’ve done a few extended family groups but never quite this big of a group. And they were such a fun and photogenic bunch!
    We finally got everyone in place and got some really special shots…

  • More Engagement Pictures

    Paul and Jozi were my subjects for the last shoot I did at night on the Plaza. We decided to get together again and get some shots in the daytime. It was a chilly afternoon but we got some great shots! The afternoon sun was so beautiful coming through the trees…

  • Senior and Engagement Shoots

    Wow, I am getting so far behind on posting from my shoots!! It’s been crazy around our house with school, Fall de-junking, and stinking gorgeous weather that keeps the kids outside every spare moment!

    But I have been pretty busy with shoots this month and a half. I love the challenges each one has brought with it!

    First, the fun of motorcycle pics!

    Then Senior shots with a Boxer puppy!

     

    And then a super fun, after dark engagement shoot!

       

    Then I did an other shoot with that Senior from above with her dog! (These are straight out of the camera. Haven’t had a chance to edit them yet…)

           
    Finally, got at least something posted from each shoot… *sigh* Back to the crazy house!!!

  • Isn’t it great to be an American?!

    On this beautiful, Midwestern Fall morning it’s ideal conditions for Election Day 2008!!
    The weather is in the 60′s with not a cloud in the sky! We’ve talked a lot around our house over the past few months about the elections and how it all works. The kids are excited to get to watch some of the returns tonight and cheer for our candidates.

    I took my oldest along with me to vote. We waited in a long line for our turn at the ballot box, but it was exciting and he seemed fascinated by the proceedings.

     

    I let him slide our ballot into the box.

    We both proudly sported our “I Voted” stickers.

    What a great day to be an American!!

    GO VOTE!!!
