I took this picture of Riley last week on our hike. It’s one of my favorites from the day. Unfortunately, later in the week she came down with and was diagnosed with H1N1 and I ended up catching it from her. I’m happy to report neither of us sprouted a pig’s tail or snout and we’re both improving but need another day or two until we will be completely over it. Needless to say, the flu had a big impact on our weekend plans. A trip to the pumpkin patch turned into movies at home. A planned lunch out turned into tea and crackers while snuggling on the couch. Not so bad, really. Corn mazes always make me uncomfortable and itchy and the whole time I’m going through it I’m trying to figure out how many mice are likely to be in there with me. The number never works out to my liking.

The only disappointment was that I was forced to reschedule a photo shoot that I had planned for today. I look forward to getting the session done later this week and enjoying the Halloween weekend. What are your plans?

It’s really hard to get these big smiles out of an almost 9 year old boy, that’s why I really appreciate the ones that I do get. Big smile

The best shot I could get with two very uncooperative children who were more excited
about friends and the first day of school than they were about mom with the camera. AGAIN!

Just a quick photograph of my cousin’s newest daughter. We’re hoping that I can get up there late next month and do a photo session with their whole family. I’m really looking forward to it!

They were just playing around at the time, but the frustration is all too real.
