Layin' Low

We've been CRAZY busy and have lots of fun pictures that I should post, but I've kind of been enjoying the privacy of lying low.  Here are some bullets of what's happened/happening in out neck of the woods.

• My Grandpa Bob passed away.  I was VERY close to him and it's been a very hard loss.  I was with him and other family members when he passed.  SO HARD.  I made this cake for him and my Nana.  It meant a lot to everyone that weekend.  Miss you so much GB!
• Went to Walnut Creek for a week on "business."  Got to see Luke play volleyball, spend lots of time outside in the sunshine and hangout with my mom.  It was heavenly.
• A much needed day and night away with my love in San Francisco.  Spencer also ended up out in SF on business while I was there.  So we left Ryan with my parents and spent our first night away.  That too was heavenly.
• A wedding.  The business in Walnut Creek was me shooting a wedding.  LOVED IT!  Loved the couple, loved the day, love my job.  I keep thinking I should really get out there and advertise myself a bit more, like have a blog that I actually know the password to or a website or something...but...I just don't feel like it.  I love love love that jobs still come my way and it's great.  My theory is that if you are good, people talk and you'll always have the work if you want it.  So far that's been true with all of my professional endeavors.  I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing.  Did I mention that I love my job?    P.S. I may post some, not sure yet.  If you really want to see some shots let me know and I'll get on it.
• A very sick Ryan.  I don't think the kid had ever been so sick.  OK the RSV last year was bad, but he still ate and was active and happy.  This time he didn't eat a real "meal" for like 4 or 5 days!  He lost like 3-4 lbs.!  Slept a lot which is NOT usual and had a fever which also is very rare.  Antibiotics did the trick and he's finally getting back to his old self.
• Laurel had a BABY!  His name is Justin Robert Plewe and we LOVE him.  Can't wait to meet him in a few weeks.  You can get the whole story on her blog.
• Easter was great.  Egg Hunt was a hit.  Easter basket of treats was a hit.  I made a full holiday meal for the first time and had friends over to share it.  YUM.  Love good food.
•  Training for my first triathalon.  Saturday is the big day.  So excited!
• Cut my hair.  Barely above my shoulders.  Realizing that I am just NOT meant to have short hair.  It's cute, but my lovely, long, thick locks are sounding pretty good right now.
• FINALLY getting to painting the baseboards that I had planned to paint 2 years ago.  Feels good to start chipping away at that project.  sigh.

Well, that's about it.  Like I said, a little crazy.  Good, but crazy.
