365 in January

I started a new 365 in 2013. I have started some before and I never finished one... Last year for Christmas I tried to put together a calendar of my children for 2013 and there were a few months I didn't have any pictures of my kids. I knew I had to change this. So far 2013 I have missed one day. Day 3. I felt bad but decided to not quit and move one.

Here are a few of my favorites from January

Christmas Tree Farm

We finally got our Christmas Tree! We like waiting till closer to Christmas... a tradition that Scot's family did and mine. Christmas seems to us so much more special if the decorations are just hung up. It always gets us in a great Christmas spirit. Plus we don't have to worry too much about Finn and the tree. The tree only needs to survive for a few days versus an entire month!

We picked Jake up from school a little early (just 10 min) and headed over to the Christmas Tree farm. Of course it took us forever to find the perfect tree and of course just like last year. Every time we found a tree we liked, we decided to keep looking and come back to it later. Except we could never find it again. Next year someone please remind me to bring ribbons to mark the trees!

 Of course there was lots of screaming about who gets to carry the saw (haha Finn if you ever think I will let you hold a saw), lots of whining about "are we done yet" but at the end we all agreed it was a lot of fun and we are cutting our own tree down again next year!

Finny was trying so desperate to kiss "Schnitzel" the goat!

 I think we need to move this kid out to the country!

On the way home we decided what better way to end the day then Donuts for dinner!

I am back!

I think I am back... I miss this place! Looking back I love that I have all these amazing memories in one place. I don't have that right now... I feel like I lost so much of 2011 and 2012 because I didn't have a place to write it down! Life has been crazy. Bla Bla Bla lots of excuses. But nothing valid enough!

2013 is going to be the year of journaling for me! Photos, blog posts, videos or even just writing notes to myself! I have to get better with it! For me and for the kids!

Did you miss us?

Time to say Goodbye

I have been thinking about this A LOT over the past few months... I know you have noticed.

I am not here anymore.

I am busy with the kids all day and at night I work on pictures.

By the time I am done with that I just don't feel like updating here anymore.

I didn't feel like there was space on here for my client pictures and I didn't feel like there was space for my kids pictures on my clients space.

So, I am going to combine these two. Some days you will get to see pretty pictures of gorgeous people and some other days you will get to see pictures of MY gorgeous people.

I will try to make it a daily routine to update. At least more than twice a month.

I worked hard on this new blog. I hope you like it but for now it is time to say Good Bye on here.



Maybe one day I will be back here... when Finn is in school probably ;)

Please visit me at www.sonjabphotography.blogspot.com Please take your time to follow me over there.

I will close this blog down for good in a few weeks.

Thanks!!!

Happy Halloween

Kisses

Someone learned how to give kisses. Probably the cutest thing ever.

Jake is laying across my lap!

Hello!

prove

Finn took the last dose of antibiotics yesterday and we are all healthy again.

Finn did get stung by a bee today and as soon as I saw what happend my first thought was "please don't be allergic to bees, please don't be allergic to bees" I know it hurt the little guy, but another trip to the ER is not on my radar for long, long, looooooooooooooooooong time. I hope that was enough o's.

And since we are feeling better and it is October. We had to get out of the house and explore.

Here is the actual prove that we are healthy again

sweet dreams

I just tucked Jake in bed and before I could walk out he said

I love you and have a good night. And sweet dreams. Dream about me and how much I love you and that one day we will not be sick anymore!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Basically we have been sick for 4 weeks now, probably longer. One gets sick, we all get it, by the time we are all better again, someone already caught the next bug.
As of right now. Jake is on day seven of amoxicillan, I am on day 3 and Finn on day 1 (with some other meds due to his allergic reaction) for strep throat. Scot doesn't have it yet, but 3 days ago he had food poisoning, which wasn't much fun either.

We are all sick of being sick and YES sweet Jake I will dream tonight of not being sick!

Good Night!

and because a post with no pictures is not a complete post, here is a picture of Jakey dreaming sweet dreams a long time ago at a Reds game
