So, I have been completely absent from dA for quite some time now. Not due to the community or my lack of love for this place. But plan and simple. I have absolutely no extra time right now. Obviously with Cru and Maddie life is busy, but we are in the process of selling our home. Or TRYING to sell our home I should say. Cleaning like a mad women for a showing at 9:00am who doesn't show up, that sort of thing. It has been a little overwhelming from time to time and finding time to spend on the computer is coming few and far between. I hope to come back on here someday, but now is not the time. I am going to let my subscription run out, and renew when I know I will have to time to use it. I'm so sorry for those who follow me and are so amazing to me and my work. I just don't feel like I am doing much to contribute these days. I'm bound and determined to get back to normal...please bare with me.

Love and hugs to you all!

I am in complete shock..... I can't believe that my work received another DD!! What an honor. Thank you so very much.......wow.

This is actually one of my personal all time favorites of Maddie. What a little stinker... Love that girl!!


Please know that I thank you all so much for the comments and favorites! I am leaving for vacation right now and thought I'd quick check my dA account before I left for 10 days and saw the DD!! So, I won't be able to get to thank you until I get home! So sorry! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I first off want to thank you all for the amazing words of support before I went in to the hospital and all the comments and notes once Cru arrived. I have tried to respond to all...if I haven't thanked you personally, I'm so sorry. I thought my brain was supposed to go back to normal after childbirth, but I'm pretty sure it's gotten worse!!

We are so thrilled to have Cru home and healthy!! He had his two week check up on Wednesday and has gained almost one pound and has grown and inch and a half!! HOLY MOLEY! My husband is a big guy, so the doctor kidded me about Cru's football career and following his Daddy's BIG footsteps. We'll see!!

Maddie is adjusting to life with a baby brother. She LOVES Cru and wants to help all the time. However, she has shown a little animosity towards me. Which I know is normal, but it doesn't make things easier. She misses her Mommy one-on-one that's for sure. We are going to go and get our nails done together later, so have a little girl time. She's a great big sister for sure. I hope to do a shoot with the two of them soon.

Hugs to you all and thanks again!! You are truly an amazing group of people...

Today is the big day! Well...it could be more like tomorrow actually....I will be induced at 7:30 this evening and pray that it goes some what quickly! These things can tend to take a long time... Oh well, at least we are getting the show on the road!! Our son should make his arrival sometime late tonight or tomorrow. I am going to ask my sister Vicky to post a comment on this journal when he's born, with the stats. Thanks Vic!! Hugs to you all! I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

Love & Hugs!

Well....I'm still pregnant. 38 1/2 weeks now... Although I can't go much further, as I'll be induce by this weekend if I don't go on my own. MAN, I didn't think I'd make it this long!! Maddie was so tiny, that this kiddo is going to to be a MOOSE compared to her no matter what!! We love healthy babies though!! I'll be sure to post some pictures when I can. Hugs to you all and thank you for all the support during this pregnancy. Many of you have been though a lot with me when it comes to pregnancy...and I really appreciate your kind and loving support. I can't wait to let you know the news!!
