~Kel~
Its Friday!!!!
Im officially part of the Think Pink Photography network. Its a super organization supporting families touched by breast cancer. You can go to their site at http://www.thinkpinkphotography.org/ If you know someone touched by breast cancer, please show them this link and let them know I am a participating photographer!
Did you know I do labor and delivery photography? I combine the maternity, L&D and welcome home (done within the first week) into one series. I have a sample online at http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewshow.html?fl=2871864&alb=0 Its a few minutes long and you will have to download the program to watch it. I love feedback on everything I put here so if you've got comments, suggestions, etc., I'd love to hear from you!
Next order of business. I am looking for a boy and a girl graduating high school in the year 2009 from each of the surrounding schools to be reps for me. I have a great package to offer the students who might be interested in doing this. Please have them contact me to discuss the details. Okay....I'm off to give my kids some drugs (the kind for colds). I plan to come back again later for that giveaway so dont forget to check back!

A day in the life....(sort of)
Late morning they decided it was time for a tea party picnic. I had to make a point of telling Makenna that she was only allowed two snacks on this adventure -last time she had the blanket spread out on the livingroom floor and quite the spread going on! Enough to feed an army. She learned about mixing snacks at Mrs. Potter's class and that's the trend now too - mix three together (usually something like goldfish, popcorn and pretzels). Makenna's first mix had yogurt, grapes, pretzels, apple sauce and goldfish. She mixed it all up and tasted it. She told me she "wasn't really hungry right now and she was gonna leave it for dad because it was so delicious!" :) Here they are toasting each other!
Next they went to play upstairs. It was really quiet so I grabbed my camera and went looking for them. I found them in my room - all snug in my bed! They love to be in my bed - I don't blame them, it is heaven for me at the end of the day too! (its a sleep number and I recommend it highly!)
Kenna wasn't feeling so good but did sit for this pic.
We were up at 3:00 AM with her this morning - she was croupy. We gave her a nebulizer treatment and this morning she looks and feels great. I hate when they are sick and its like clockwork every Feb/March we are treating one of them with the neb.
Have a great Thurday!

Let's talk about chocolate!!
Here are a few more from my session with the boys! These two are the oldest of six great kids. Now I need to get a classic photo of all six kids together - Imagine them all lined up sitting on a bench and cropped panoramic! Cute!
Some changes are happening in the Roy house. Makenna has started brushing and styling her own hair and is obsessed with having clean, fresh breath now! I remember when she was younger and we were really struggling to understand her and I made the decision to remove red dye products from her diet in an attempt to try anything to bring her down to earth more - I didn't think days like this would ever come. She was just a little tougher than the boys.....no...a lot tougher. It would frustrate me that she was so moody and the littlest things would set her off. Now, she's much more calm and can be really helpful with Marleigh. She's funny and independent and I will actually miss her when she goes to school full time next fall :)~ The cold has hit our house and she has a cough this morning - she woke up with it worse than when she went to bed last night. She came downstairs first thing on a mission to find Jean to tell him that he had given her the wrong medicine at bedtime last night because her cough is worse today!

Moms In Motion.....
WMTW, Channel 8 News, will be doing a piece on Tuesday's 6 p.m. news program highlighting our Moms In Motion team training for the upcoming Tri for a CURE (triathlon in August to fund cancer research). The story will focus on one of our members in particular, Sheryl Ledoux, since her life has touched by many fighting this dreadful disease. In addition to Sheryl's focus however, you should also see footage of a MIM practice and some of our other members during one of our training sessions that our triathlon coach, Francis Bauer, recently conducted.

A busy mom's best friend.....
Shopping yesterday was awesome. The weather was perfect and really put me in the mood to spend my hard earned money! I got some great deals but most of all, just the "me" time was a nice break.
Back to school today! We made it through the week and Cameron just woke up asking me "do we have school today?". I answered with an enthusiastic "yes"! I like my routine and need it to get my regular work done.
Have a great Monday!

The moon.
I love car rides with my kids (most of the time). Last night we had dinner out (I love that ALL of the time - I hate trying to come up with something for dinner - we'd eat cereal every night if it was acceptable). So on our ride home we talked about several things - Lent was first - I always give up several things and try to improve on others during lent because Im in hopes it will start a new habit for me. They say it takes six weeks to start a habit so I always go into it with positive thoughts thinking maybe this will be the year the habit sticks. My boys gave up fast food (dont tell God about the one stop they made to Wendy's after hockey practice last week-they were starving!) Im very proud of their efforts. Cameron also gave up candy - I bet this is the last year he does that! Makenna told us last night that she gave up her ABC's!! She was completely serious - and when she announced it, Marleigh broke into the ABC song!

Day 3 of school vacation.
Yesterday I took a photo of the boys first thing (7:10 AM) after Jean gave the thumbs up that the ice rink was in perfect condition for them. They wasted NO time getting out there and didn't even change out of their jammies. (remember I told you that was how we like to spend days off). When they are lazy teens, I will have photos to show their dedication to the sport and ability to get up early on a day off!

Day 1 - school vacation!
I hope to get some photos of the older boys soon (they were busy with sports). Thanks mom for bringing them to see me!
I am starting to book spring sessions now (a few on the beach). I am limiting my sessions each week so that I can keep things in perspective with my own family. Summer months will be the same as last year, no weekend nights for photoshoots...only Sunday - Thursday. I did have a few exceptions to this last year and dont mind if there's a situation that requires a weekend session.
Happy Monday!!!!!
