1. We own our house!!! It is official, we are homeowners. Now to start the projects... and it is a looooong list!
2. Camping was a blast - it was so nice because my mother-in-law managed to entertain Lauren pretty much every moment we were there! So it was like camping with only one child! ;o)
3. I am starting my website for my photography business! It is a lot of work. Yipes! I hope to have it up by the end of the week... so be on the lookout for a post on it soon!
4. Speaking of... I have two shoots scheduled for this month! I am so excited to be moving forward, and Justin has been uber-supportive!!!
5. And, get ready for this -- I am considering branching into birth photography. BIRTH! Me! Unreal. I was the woman who wanted NO ONE but my husband near me while I was delivering, so the thought of someone taking pictures?!? But after becoming a mom and knowing how quickly your memories of that special day vanish into oblivion -- I am actually very passionate about providing this service to families. I will let you know more as I figure it out!
6. I still use way too many exclamation points. But, if you know me... it is just how I talk. So I guess it is appropriate.
7. Had a hysterical lunch at Chik-fil-A Deer Valley today. They are doing customer appreciation week - and we left with more stuff than we could carry! A gallon of lemondade, two plush cows, two balloons, and coupons for free food next time. There was the giant cow character, ringing of MANY cowbells, and a lemon-squeezing contest. I have never seen such smiley employees - and I want to know how they got them to whoop and holler so much! Free coffee?!? It was a blast - if you live near here and have time this week, you should go!
8. I still can not say or type "holla!" Just too white. Sorry, Jaclyn!!!
9. At her 18 month appointment, we found out Paige has a mild ear infection in her right ear. I am praying that this does not mean she is going to follow in my ear-infection footsteps (I had many and had to have tubes in my ears that never fell out on their own). So far, she hasn't complained about it at all - so I am hoping it will be gone quickly!
10. Does anyone think it is a GOOD idea for kids to share a room? This is our plan for the girls in about 12-18 months from now... but I have yet to have anyone else say they would/are doing it. It makes me very nervous that they will hate it and make me hate it!!! I have a long time to mull over that possibility.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!!!

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. ~Barbara Alpert

I think sharing a room is good for kids for many reasons. One - it helps teach them to share. Two - it is good bonding : ) I loved sharing a room with my sisters and appreciated my own room even more when I got it. : )
HOLLA! lol! Love you!
If and when we move to a house with fewer bedrooms the boys will end up in a room together. I think that if they aren't in a room together, at some point, they will ask to be. So, they could drive you nuts either way!!!
Ditto on Catina's comment, 100%! My sister and I shared until I was about 8 or 9, when Amy turned 13. I guess my parent's thought she needed privacy then. Or she was going to kill me. I'm not really sure.
Congrats on the house and the website/photog business. I think birth photography can be really beautiful. You can't capture any more real emotions on a woman than the day they give birth: Pain, Hatred (YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!), Exhaustion, PURE JOY, INSTANT LOVE. All in the same session!
