april

since it's oh, JUNE, I'd better get some April up here, stat.

after story time... explorers taking in the scenery outside the library:

this makes me laugh... a friend of M's needed a little shooting practice, so the girls had a photo session in the museum district (that ended up being an impromptu family session).  Magz insisted on befriending this naked lady:

@ the children's festival with friends:

rawr:

I shot a movie around Maggie's first birthday, and finally got to go see it in the theatre:

when I first realized we'd reached the 'no drawer is safe' stage with Ruby:

trip to the ranch:

9mo checkup:

making chocolate chocolate chip cookies:

a day off:

neighbors:

a part of me wants to erase this photo and block out this night.  this was taken a few minutes before Ru had a febrile seizure in the tub due to a too-rapid drop in temperature (she wasn't sick, only teething and sporting a really high temperature).  we ended up taking her to the emergency room, and fortunately she came though everything just fine and was no worse for wear.  mama, however, might have lost a few years off her life...

checkup at our pedi the following morning, just to be on the safe side:

first birthdays!

a visit to froberg's:

I travelled to Charlotte, NC to shoot a commercial:

my hotel oasis

LOVED charlotte:

and the work was good (that's me there, on the monitor):

it's getting hot.  welcome, summer.
