how does your garden grow?  We started our garden the spring of 2010.  I believe I blogged about it then.  We had much success the first year.  The next year we had a new baby, and didn't spend as much time with it, but we still did well.  Except for a couple of boxes with less than superior dirt, w

I ran a 5k this morning.  Not a huge surprise given I'm a runner, and do races from time to time.  Ahh...that is if you've known me in the last ten or so years.  This morning's race had some participants that made me excited.  They were folks from Rob's Biggest Loser.  I had heard of this program on

I love them!  I was beyond thrilled to photograph this family once more.  Okay, yep, Morgan and I are buds, and have been for years (and years).  This session was a little more special than usual with them.  It's the first session with their youngest.  Oh, how we've all waited for her.  I think that
