bday, our trip, baby, work

well geez, it's about time a update this thing, don't you think?

so much to chat about, so little uninterrupted time online. right now kieran is "using the force" and playing nicely in my midst and andie sitting next to me being sweet and content for a change. it's as peaceful as it gets :)

kieran had a really great birthday yesterday and has been playing with all his great new star wars gear. i hear the constant humming of the star wars music and various lightsaber sounds right now. i'm going to post some pictures of our little family party last night later :)

we've all been well, i'm waaaaay overdue in posting pictures from our MGM Studios excursion and Carnival cruise family reunion, i'll get to that. we had a nice time but the cruise itself was a little goofy. there were 25 or so of us altogether and you'd think that when you're held captive on a giant boat you'd have lots of togetherness time but in actuality once you leave your tiny cabin, it was nearly impossible to determine where anyone was on the ship. and there was no way to reach anyone. often we only saw family members at our designated dinner time and even then we were all separated into two tables and there were still a kid or uncle i never talked to the whole time. oh well. and the cruise was a big vegas-y, which is great for you if you just want to drink and gamble the whole time but didn't really pan out well for us. and lastly, there was only one pool. ONE pool! for a whole ship of people. well, there was also the "Waterworks" in the back of the ship which was a couple waterslides and fountains, but it wasn't a real pool. however, it was very kid friendly and we therefore lived there for the four day we were aboard. key west and cozumel were nice, though very touristy, and overall it was a nice vacation but it didn't exactly end on a good note when our return flight was delayed, we returned after 1am and then had kieran vomiting at 4am, along with, ahem, other not so pretty bathroom issues, combined with pink eye and possibly a case of ringworm (we're still figuring out a mystery spot on his face). thanks for the souvenirs carnival!

i'm still pregnant and plan to be for several more weeks. i'm about 28 weeks along and will only get bigger and bigger. the baby moves all the time, sometimes waking me up at night (but it's nothing compared to being awoken by a newborn throughout the night, so i'm happy with this for a while!) we've started working on the nursery and i can't wait until it's more done and i can post pictures!

i've been completely swamped lately with photos, lots of high school senior sessions which i have been absolutely loving! i didn't expect to enjoy big kids so much but it's been great and i've met some really fun kids along the way. the past few weeks i've just been trying to keep my head above water between sessions and editing and family and i'm starting to catch up this week but i have more bookings on the horizon that will definitely keep me occupied.

well, i'm off to a check-up, i'll try to post something more interesting later but i wanted to finally post so people wouldn't think we fell off the face of the earth!
