I have decided to create a blog for my real estate photography.  All the homes I have done are on there, so feel free to check it out and give feedback if you want. When I get the time I will get a better design layout for the blog, but for now it's just a place to file my work.  www.ljmccabephotography.blogspot.com

What we have been up to lately.....

Doing a lot of this.

All around this city.

Here. 

and there.

and over here.

 With her.

By the way, now that the blog is private I feel like I can be a little candid, because everyone that is reading this is either my friend or family. I doubt that too many people care to read my blog before I went private, but I don't want to take the chance of that one creeper who stumbles upon it. If you read my blog when I was pregnant I wrote about the ten things I was looking forward to once I had my baby.  I mentioned how I couldn't wait to whiten my teeth again, and I'll be darned if I didn't get some weird comment from a teeth whitening company.  How the heck did they find my blog?!? I wasn't too freaked out by it, but it did make feel a bit vulnerable to the internet world. If your blog is private or not, just be careful and think twice about what your posting. That's all I am saying. 

  Don't you think it is annoying that Google only lets you have 100 exclusive readers?  What do you do when you max out?  Hopefully if I reach that point Google will allow more readers for private blogs. 

Our little muffin is just growing up before our eyes!  She is 3 whole months now. 

Here's the latest with Ashlyn:

- LOVES her piggy bink.  Seriously obsessed with it.

-Has started to stand up (with us holding her of course.)

-Has really long legs (from her daddy) and long fingers (from her mommy)

-Coos and smiles all the time.  It's the highlight of our day.

-Has been sleeping through the night for over a month. We put her down at 10pm and she wakes up at 8:30am and sometimes 9am.  She is a sleeper like her mom!

-Loves the t.v.  Ugh oh.....

-Loves bath time, especially when mom blow drys her afterwards.

-Hates tummy time.

-Is a people watcher. If you hold her you have to let her face the action or she will have a fit.

A daddy's girl for sure.  This is what Mike does as soon as he comes home from work.


Haven and Ashlyn

The three girl cousins just hanging out on the sofa.

 

Yesterday we went to the NICU Reunion at Parker Adventist Hospital.  There were a few nurses that we loved and wanted to see again.  It was a good time and we are glad we went. 

Our two favorite nurses, Kelly and Jessica, who took care of Ashlyn in the NICU. These girls are seriously angels.  I never worried about Ashlyn when they took care of her. 

"WoW! Is that your house," you might be thinking. I wish! It is, however, evidence of my NEW JOB! I am so excited about it that I have to share it with you. I get to photograph sweet houses all around the Denver area for a company called, DenverRentaHome.com.

I got the job because Mike leases properties through this company along with selling homes with Remax Professionals. The owners of D.R.H. liked the pictures I took of the houses Mike had listed and asked if I wanted to picture all of their properties. It's the perfect job for me now that I am a stay-at-home mom. I can picture the homes according to my own schedule, Ashlyn can come with me, and I get to tour million dollar homes.

Here are some of the pictures I have taken. Kitchens are by far my favorite rooms to photograph.

Mike and I decided we needed some motivation to work out, so at the break of dawn on Memorial Day we will be running the Bolder Boulder. It's a 10k.

I have done it twice before, both times in high school, so I know I can do it again. The only thing is that I haven't run for about four years. I used to run all the time when I was in high school and college, but I stopped when I hurt my knee playing intramural soccer at BYUI four years ago. Needless to say I have a lot of catching up to do. I have a few more lbs. of pregnancy weight I want to lose so this will help give me a boost. Since Mike's legs are about twice as long as mine, I don't think we will be running the race together but it will be fun training together. Anyway, I just wanted to post this so we can hold ourselves accountable to you. No turning back now!

Ashlyn's Blessing

Last Sunday, Mike gave Ashlyn a beautiful blessing at our church. It was a wonderful day filled with family, friends, and delicious food. Thanks to the help from my mom and Catherine, we had a Cafe Rio style lunch. (I got the idea from my good friend Shelli, who had the same food at her twins' blessings.) Thanks for all of you who came to support us on this special day!
