I am Thankful…

…for the safe return of my husband back to the United States of America!

I’m also thankful for the countless many of you who have been praying every day for the safety of the 76th ID as they have served in Iraq. You are all amazing and I’m so blessed that all of you have been so supportive of Abe and I this year!!!

Thank you all soooo much!

I’ll post more pictures from the reunion sometime this weekend, though I’ll warn you, there aren’t very many. You could say I was emotionally involved during our brief visit

Abe will be “demobing” at Atterbury for the next several days but he’ll be home for good in less than a week!!! Woohoo!

Again – thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support! It means much more than you could ever know.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Much Love,

The2Carmans

Sneak Peek – Chloie

Ummmm… it doesn’t get much more cute than this little girl!

See for yourself!!!

Much, much, much more cuteness to come later in the week

I’m going to attempt to get most of the editing from this session done on Wednesday because with Thanksgiving and Abe’s arrival being SO SO SO CLOSE I may not have much time on my hands after Thursday HOORAY!!!!

Baby Toes Revisited.

The toes belong to this little guy…

Who just happens to be the brand-new baby brother of THIS little guy…

I think he really likes his baby bro

HELLO, BLUE EYES!!!!

I was really feeling the black-and-whites this time. The dim lighting and fast movements of these little guys led me to use a setting higher than I typically use it, causing a grain… but, I think I like it a little Especially in the black and whites!

Are you kidding with the adorableness?

Mmmm… so sweet

Sprucing Things Up.

SO. As most of you – if not all of you – know, I’m working on doing a little somethin’ somethin’ with all these pictures I like to take.

If you reach back into your memory, not too far now, you’ll remember this little abomination.

Now, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

There was a real problem with that attempted logo

The second step is acceptance… and the third, and final, step is hiring a professional to design it for you since you know you’re like, a total loser, at designing that type of thing.

This is where April of Blu Sky Designs comes into my life. Lovely, precious April who has saved my future in photography from the doom and gloom created by an awful logo.

She created THIS

AND this

AND a few others for me

I cannot WAIT to stamp a photo with one of my fancy, schmancy new logos!

AND cannot wait to launch my eventual photography-only website.

Don’t worry, this blog will still get some photo love!

ANNNNNDDDDD another non-photography/business/I-lack-designing-skills UPDATE.

My husband, my darling, wonderful, fabulous, amazing husband, will be (should be, in Army speak) in the good ol’ USA sometime NEXT WEEK!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! SO EXCITING

Baby Toes

I had a session Saturday afternoon.

And this is all I can post.

‘Cause the photos are going to be a surprise for a special someone

…I love me some baby toes.
