Well Hello

So sorry I have been MIA. Last weekend was crazy fun and amazing. I met the most brilliant and creative and fun and uber cool people this weekend. Had to pinch myself many times because I couldn't believe I was hanging with them!  :) More on them tomorrow...

Can I just say I will always and forever be loyal to Matilda Jane?? Always!




I have been trying to play catch up with all the session editing and finally posted last client session online so I feel like I can blog and not feel guilty about the million things I need to do (as my children fend for themselves right now ... ha!)

I have so many pictures and stories and experiences to share. I want to do it right and give you great blog posts this week, so I will take some time today and organize and edit ...

...and be a brilliant blogger this week!

First up: Wayne is doing okay. He is in week two of chemo and is functioning great. Not eating much but is trying. He will be on break next week but that is usually the week he feels the worst. Caeden drew a picture of him this morning and there was hair on his head. Caeden said, "This is Daddy before...."

Killed me.

Dan Patrick, a colleague of Wayne's ... and a friend to us both, is riding 90 miles for Wayne in the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Austin, TX. It's Oct 22-24. We will do our best to get there to support him. (It was awful not to be in Seattle for LIVESTRONG to cheer everyone on over Father's Day weekend.)

Second: The kids are fantastic. Loved spending the past weekend with their Grandpa. I wish every day they lived down the street. How many people can say that about their in-laws?

Third: Friendship ... tomorrow's post is dedicated to my amazing friend Jami. Can't wait to tell you all about her and the other wickedly brilliant and creative women I met. 
It was so good for my soul...
