Change of Seasons

Don't you just love it when you wake up after a cold front has come through and the rest of the house is cold, but you're nice and toasty under your covers? Oh, the days of freezing toes. Slipped on the fuzzy socks for the first time this year and hopefully it will be like this till Christmas time.
Took this pretty girls sweet sixteen pictures today. I must say doing single person pictures is a nice change from multiple people :).

300

Okay, it's not a flower..but it'll have to do for today. Still so much to do and it's getting late. Dinner is just now being served. Gotta love late night dinners.. :) 

So today is Day 300, only 65 to go. O my, o my! Can't believe I've been doing this for almost a year now. Eek!

Lazy Day Weather

Today's been a stay at home kinda day. The weather this afternoon was perfect for it too. I'd say progress slowed down about that time, because all I wanted to do was be lazy :). But I did manage to get the car cleaned (in the rain =D ) and many other household chores. Now it's time to crack down on the knitting and school work...

A Few New Things

This last Sunday of November has been a day of new things. New church with Luke this morning to hear a certain man speak that I've been waiting to meet for a long while now. Checked out the farmer's market downtown, which has been going on ever since I moved to Clermont but I've never gone. And last but not least, did my family's Christmas pictures this evening. Not any easy thing. But lets not go into that now =D.

Worth Waiting For

You'd think I'd sleep in after yesterday's shopping festivities, but no... I finished up working on my website and posted it this morning. www.ambermaliaphotography.com  So excited about it!
Spent the rest of the day with Luke and the kids. Had a lovely lunch out, shot some pictures with Lydia, and removed a rather large piece of wood out of Joseph's foot. Yes, it has been a good day.

Shop Away The Day

Though mom and I decided not to do our early Black Friday shopping, that doesn't mean we didn't go shopping or spend as much time shopping. We didn't get out there til late morning, but we didn't get back til after dark. Lots of fun as usual and at the end of the day lots of foot aches. So...we topped the day off with a pedicure. Oh, one has never felt so lovely! Sparkly red for the holidays. :)

Blessings

This has been a truly, wonderful Thanksgiving. I have so much to be grateful for. Whenever I take the time to sit down and count my blessings, I always come away feeling so content and ashamed at the same time wondering why I don't thank God everyday for the things I've been given. I am so blessed.

I did a shoot with this wonderful family this morning. Last minute, but I'm loving the way they turned out. Now if only the boys were looking in this one...

So after searching through all the black friday ads, I came to the realization that there just aren't any amazing deals we were interesting in. Therefore, Mom and I have called off our early black friday shopping and will go later in the day. That way, we won't look like zomies for our family shoot tomorrow evening. Goodnight everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Let the Christmas festivities begin!
