we are swell

i'm back!

this has probably been the longest blogging break i've taken, but it feels nice to be back here & while i really don't have anything very interesting to say, i thought it might be good to at least post that i'm still alive.

all is well around here, when last i wrote i was recovering from surgery. i can now say i feel awesome, i have no idea how many weeks post-op i am, so i think it's a good thing that i've stopped counting. the first couple weeks were a little rough but by six weeks i felt great & my doctor admitted he had been impressed since the day after surgery at how up-and-about i was. so go me!

kids are awesome, kieran is valedictorian of his first grade, andie discovered a cure for ear worms, & madyn is learning french.

aaron & i are starting a cult. we haven't figured out what kind yet, but if you have suggestions or want to join, let me know! it's always nice to have more followers!

i promise to post something better soon, for now i'm leaving you with the best darn family picture we have--i made the fam crouch in front of the camera right after i finished photographing a client. i set it up, set the timer & this was the only shot i got. looks so good i wish i had dressed us up & had gotten a hair trim!
