Hello!

Knock.. Knock.. Knock.. Is this thing on?

I quit blogging here like months ago. But people want me to blog so I'll try. But I'm really thinking of just doing all my blogging at www.photographybyleeann.com/blog then it's just one. Would you come read it there if I blogged my life and stuff?

It's been so long I'm not even sure where to start. Do I skip everything or just jump in where we are and start fresh? Little man just started 4th grade!!! Holy cow! And little miss is in 3rd. I'm not sure how this happened. But they are growing up. Little man loves baseball and has a weekly baseball camp he attends. Little miss loves ballet and will be in the nutcracker this December. She is beyond excited.

Randy is a rockstar. He is working his butt off at work and I am so proud of him. And he's taken to spin classes and some serious weights at the gym. He's pretty hot! He loves that we have chickens and they've started laying eggs now! Woot!

I'm busy with life. I drop the kids off at school and either run or hit the gym, daily. Then I come home and stare at my computer for hours while I try to get caught up on editing. I'm really trying to slow down. I feel so blessed my business has grown like it has. But I'm trying to find the right balance. And somedays I'm sure I'm going to drop everything at the same time. I'm working on it. I only have two shoots left for 2011 then I'm closing my books.

There's a little but lame update!

Sick.

I was reading old posts from my blog and reminiscing.  It's been too long.  I used to blog, and I really miss reading all about my life and the updates.  I like to read about my life.  Vain, I know.

My kids.  They have been so.flippin.sick. this year.  I am over it.  Little Miss got chicken pox, like almost 4 weeks ago.  We vaccinate to avoid these things.  But she got them.  I so don't believe in this vaccine.  And then Little Man got them.  Awesome right?  He did this once before at two.  Why now??  Then Little Miss gets them again.  Seriously? Did I do something wrong?  Because I feel like I did.

Today Little Man goes to the Doctor and is diagnosed with major allergies (thank you crappy genes) and asthma.

I am over it all.  But I know this isn't the end of the world.  But still, I am annoyed, I don't want to do health issues with my kids.  I have always prayed I had enough that it would pass them by.  I guess it didn't work.

But on the positive note.  Little Miss and I have had loads of fun.  She is so sweet to snuggle with.  And I have welcomed the slow down in my life.

Little Man.  He is taking this in stride.  Asthma, allergies, they aren't unchartered territory.  I am blessed that he has an amazing doctor who is also my doc.  He listens and is on top of it.  I consider him to be one of the best.

My Resolutions

2011.  Really??  How fast did 2010 go?

I have resolutions this year.  First personal ones.

Read my scriptures and pray with more meaning.  I do them daily.  But I want to gain more from it, and be more spiritually in tune.

Attend the temple often.  It is so close, and I really want to take full advantage of it.

I am going to exercise regularly.  Instead of the random consistency for a few weeks and quit for a year.

On my business side.

I want to shoot twelve weddings this year.  I love them, and I am really excited about this.

I also want to improve my craft.  I want to be a better photographer.  I want to learn and also be able to give back.  That is so important to me.  (And no, I am not doing any sort of workshop, I just like to help those who need help.)

Happy NEW YEAR!
