Last week, I didn't record anything. I photographed another wedding last Saturday that was beautiful, but I was so tired the next day. Liz was still here and she helped me up until the reception. It went well, but between two weddings worth of photos to edit and the TONS of family and senior photos that I also have to edit, I feel stressed and busy. I am so grateful for all of the business that I've had this year, but it is really difficult for me to balance family and work when I still have a little one at home during the day and our life running our kids around is so busy.
I got home from the wedding at about 9:30pm. When I got home, the kids were hiding behind the couch. They had made me a late birthday cake. They sang to me and we enjoyed yummy chocolate cake before bedtime. It was so sweet. I am so glad that Rob and the kids thought about me. It was such a perfect ending to a very long, draining day.
This week I've been trying to find time to do normal life things, while editing a crazy amount of photos. I also had 3 more photo sessions this week. Friday night, Brooklen got to go to a haunted house and haunted train ride with the Nymans. The girls and Kaiton and I made pizza for dinner and then we watched the movie, Enchanted in our bed.
On Saturday, Brooklen had hockey in the morning and I took Hurley, Maddy, and Zaya around both of our neighborhoods to collect cans. The girls are collecting cans to raise money for MGTC to donate to the Pardee Cancer Research Center. I love that the girls are motivated.
In the afternoon, I went to do some pictures and Brooklen went over to Ashton Reinke's house. Ashton's grandpa (who is Brooklen's hockey coach) took Ashton and 3 of the boys to the Saginaw Spirit game. It was especially cool because Ethan Menzies, one of Brooklen's best buddies was playing goalie in a halftime event. Ethan's sister came over to our house while they were at the game. We ate Little Caesars and then Rob, Hurley, Zaya, Kaiton, Kaitlyn, and Hannah Parks, and I went to a Haunted Forest Walk at my friend, Deb Forshee's house. It was fun and I think the kids really enjoyed it. Afterwards, we dropped Hannah off at her house and then Kaitlyn, Hurley, Zaya, and Kaiton watched the Movie, Elf, downstairs.
Today was a gorgeous fall day. After church, we played outside in the leaves, I took a few photos for the Menzies, and we did a craft outside. It was a perfect family afternoon!
