Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister, Aimee! :)
This evening we (parents, sisters, her boyfriend) met up to celebrate her birthday at Lucille's. It was such good times!! Here are a few photos. My sister, Sarah, made these cupcakes and my mom made the frosting - OMG so yummy! And seriously, how gorgeous are my sisters??!
.
Just a quick hello and thought for the day. I am happy. I mean, really, happy. I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful family and small group of friends. I love my furry babies. My [nanny] job is great. I *love* being a photographer and have so many grand plans for the business it makes me giddy. I just thought it'd be nice to share some happy thoughts today. I hope you're having a great day, too! xo
PS- Peyton is growing! I thought I should take her out today for a few quick pics. :)
♥ Good week so far (my work week started Sunday). Beautiful weather here and so much I'm loving about this place right now it's hard to believe it's the same place I loathe in the Summer.
♥ March is shaping up to be a busy month. If you would like to schedule a session we have a few remaining spots available for the month and are now scheduling for April.
Ohmygoodness, talk about a crazy week! Murphy's Law at it's best - new schedule to adjust to, teen issues, car issues, hurt back... I'll elaborate on the latter.
In 2004 I threw out my back when lowering a folded load of laundry to the couch. I was 21 - not typically an age in which such a thing happens. It was a miserable experience. Since then I've had to be very careful about the way I strain myself - not an easy feat with a career as a full time nanny to young ones, let me tell you. I've lived with manageable pain off on on these past years taking pain meds when necessary and visiting a chiropractor a couple of times. It's been a while since I've carried a kid on my hip and so I think I got out of the mindset of how to do things just so.
About three weeks ago I was horsing around with my current (5 year old) charge and I lifted her up in the air with my arms outstretched. Just lifting wouldn't have strained my back alone but the arms outstretched did. It hurt right away but not terribly bad and nothing ibuprofen and a heat pack couldn't fix that night.
Then this last Tuesday evening we were loading the family in the car including our newest member and when I went to lower her into her carrier she wriggled and to keep her from falling I threw my arms forward resulting in a shot of pain through my back. Needless to say I need to be
much.
more.
careful!!
I spent much of the following couple of days in bed because even sitting was quite painful. I'm almost 1oo% back to normal which is a good thing with the busy week ahead.
So why the happy photo?? Because, it's March! March is my most favorite month of the year. March is happy with birthdays galore (including my 25th!), Spring, and beautiful weather here in Southern California. As for Love, Joleen - we'll be debuting all new marketing materials by the end of the month and I could not be more excited! Fun times, friends. Happy March!
