Wow. Miss me?

I can't believe my last post was about Christmas. I am failing miserably at blogging lately. I haven't even been THAT busy. Maybe that's it. Not busy means I nothing interesting to say.

Well, let's catch up to date, shall we? January is a month of reflection for many people (including myself) and it reminds us to look to the future and set goals accordingly. It's also about organization according to all the home magazines I subscribe to. So I dutifully went out and purchased an assortment of tote bins at Target and now they sit, empty still, in the basement.

Also in the basement at this moment is a stack of 15 boxes full of assorted garments which we purchased for a few very large shirt factory orders we have right now. This was our biggest investment ever in product (and two new-fangled machines) and we hope it all pays off in the end. The end being January 30th.

Instead of helping Darrin sell this massive amount of garments at the January 30th event, I will be at an event of my own. As the photographer of a wedding. This will be my second wedding, the first having been a small, intimate affair at a home with twenty people in attendance. This wedding is a bit larger in scale, including 8 attendants, and 200 guests. I am so excited! And by excited I mean terrified.

Hopefully, at the end of the wedding event, I will be able to rush over to Darrin's shirt event and help him finish up. The event is the regional cheerleading competition and by choosing to sell shirts and such, Darrin had to doff his most recent "hat" which is the radio announcer hat. You see, recently, Darrin landed the job of radio announcer for all of our school's away basketball games. It's pretty adorable. We get to listen to him ramble on about his first love, basketball, for six hours every time there is an away game. It also means he's out of town a lot.

Broadcasting in Cordova with the girl's coach, Daniel (who happens to be the husband of my photo business partner, Tracy). Looks like too much fun.

On to Jaycob. Bubba is doing great in school and getting straight A's in everything except handwriting (B). He is still taking gymnastics and liking it. Next week he starts piano lessons at school. I think I'm the most excited about that.

Jake and Josh had fun playing with Daddy's broadcasting equipment.

Jordy is also doing gymnastics and loves it. She still collects straws. She is currently obsessed with Transformers.

Jordy and her new custom shirt by Daddy.

Josh is taking gymanstics and ADORES IT. Seriously. He talks about it constantly. He is also playing the drums. In his room. ALL DAY.

The boys, being cuddly.

I am still busy with photography and this week I started running again. After slacking for a year I am very dejected to find that I have lost any and all endurance. I could run 10 miles when I stopped running. Now I can barely do one and it ain't pretty.

Working that wedding

Now that everyone is caught up, I will try to post some snow pictures tomorrow.
