I’m gonna work on a slide show and put up
a podcast for her, I think. Sound good Melissa?

I got to see Betty & Alice yesterday. I love them.
It does my heart good to see my friend’s cats!

Send me a cool photo of your cat and I’ll put them
up on my blog…send a little bio along with it
like, full name, aks’s, favorite toys, snacks,
places to sleep…stuff like that!

Flying Cloud Air Show is going on right now
through Sunday. They come in right over our
house…pretty cool. I”ll try to grab a couple
of pix over the next couple of days.

Have an incredible weekend!
Off to a party with some crazy former neighbors.

Oh, and tomorrow is the Chanhassen location
of the MiracleKids Triathlon. 7am! See ya there!

CRAZY Thursday!

I’m thinking of changing Boo’s name to “Switch”.
This little guy is so funny and he goes from
yawning to tearing around in the blink of an eye.
It’s like a switch or something. Sometimes it’s
not funny but most of the time he makes me laugh
out loud! (LOL for you texters!).

This morning I discovered him in the living room
laying on his back just like Hobie use to.

2061 CRAZY Thursday!
 CRAZY Thursday!

I’ve never seen another cat lay like this so
I just had to go over and give him a big ‘ol
squeeze.

Okay, back to work.

Melissa’s Sr. portraits. Drop off a CD at the
House of Fun & Fur. See Cory (Web designer) and
Get to the darn Bank!!! Bills…oh, and pick up
some laundry detergent so I can begin to work
on the PILE of laundry!

Disconnected.

Wow. I sound like a broken record.
I just don’t like it when things around
me spin out of my control. I mean, things
that I should have a handle on.

I just have this incredibly long hair day
in front of me and that means no photography.
I designed it that way, I know, it’s just
that on the heels of a couple of weeks of
CRAZINESS I really wanted to buckle down
and wrap a ton of things up. I hate to say
that this will happen tomorrow cuz then it
won’t, right? Well, I’m going to lock myself
in tomorrow and just go down the list.
I look forward to crossing as much off as
possible.

I feel like I haven’t seen Gary much lately
yet we sat last night and watched Michael
Phelps win his history making GOLD!!
I think he and I need a night out on the
town soon.

I’ll get it together in a few days…..

Here’s Boo (thanks for the shot Megan!)

Carver County Fair! I speak goat, ya know!

Overwhelmed….

My house guest is gone and my work is piled
up around me. I’m a bit crabby today so when
I got the call to shoot more images for
Urban Ventures today in a text late last night
I just about pulled all the hair off my legs!!
(Cuz shaving has also gone by the way of my
piles of work too!) :\

I rearranged my afternoon and evening to make
it happen for them and the Ad Agency is pulling
their hair out too. Lots of last minute changes.

I’m there for ya tho’ UV! I’ll see it through.
The big night is October 9th and the deadline for
print is in a day or so.

Megan is here!

I picked her up around 2. We hit Redstone
in Eden Prairie for a late lunch the stopped
off at the house to see the cats and get
Gary and go to some friend’s in Prior Lake
for some fun on the Lake.

Home for a quick change and then off to
The House of Fun & Fur for her “Dog Daze
of Summer” party.

Home, watched the Olympics opening ceremony
again! Megan didn’t get the chance to see it
cuz she was shooting a wedding in Chicago so
she missed it.

Fun,Fast day.

Today, Church, and who knows…..

Yesterday was quite a day.
It started with a late night session
at University Riverside where a young
couple lost their boy.
Then, after sleeping in a bit I was off
to photograph Melissa for her senior
portraits. She ROCKED it! We spent the
better part of the afternoon and hit
some fun spots.
Then a deck party which, due to some
drizzle, turned into a house party
and Olympic opening ceremonies!
Beijing did such a fabulous job.

Now I’m prepping for Megan’s arrival
from Chicago. She gets in around 1.

So excited to see her!

Boo’s boo boo.

Boo was a trooper Wednesday.
He handled the neuter like champ!
Dr. Zeimann said…”keep him quite
for a few days.” Um yea, right. Have ya
met Boo!? He’s a maniac!

I had a few visitors yesterday.
So, just for fun, I got out the old
camera so that you all can see how much
my family is growing too!

First, there’s Owen, he’s now 3 & 1/4 years
old and is all boy. A very, Very, VERY CHATTY
boy and I love him to pieces!

1326 Boos boo boo.
1335 Boos boo boo.
1323 Boos boo boo.

His sister Reese came along and so
I thought I’d see if I could get them
to sit together long enough to get a shot.
Not so lucky….

1382 Boos boo boo.

So I thought I’d try them with mom. WOW!
“One, two, three….eyes on me!”

1404 Boos boo boo.

Then a bit later Anne brought Ben over
and Bear, their new cock-a-poo.

1488 Boos boo boo.

Hey Ben, why did I not get a shot of you!?
I owe ya buddy!

Got balls?

Nope. Boo went in early this morning to
be neutered. I’ll pick him up later today.
He’s also getting one of those “home again”
chips…h’s kind of a runner, much to our
dismay. He just waits for an opportunity
and bolts. Not sure why, he HATES the grass.

Well, I have had a couple of weeks chalked
FULL of distractions lately and I apologize
for not putting images up for Molly & Andy
and Kristin & Carlos. Seems it’s always
something. I will be on call the next couple
of days for NILMDTS so I always plan in-house
activities for those days should I need to
head to a West Suburb hospital. I plan to
place images from those 2 weddings up in the
next couple of days. Thanks for your patience.

Last night everyone came out for our street
block party. What a gas. The firetruck came
late but it was TOTALLY worth the wait!
No real watering restrictions this year so
they blasted some water out for what seemed
like an hour. The kids were hysterical and
soaked through!
