Yesterday, my husband and I went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. I had never been before, and we had a good time!  So many people were in costume and really “in character”, which made it very entertaining.  I took a few pictures that I thought I would share.  If you’ve never been, you should go!  It’s open again next weekend and on Memorial Day! 

If you love the song on my website as much as I do, then you need to hurry and pre-order Priscilla Ahn’s new CD, A Good Day.  “Dream” is included and all the other songs are AWESOME too.  I just love her voice, I could listen to Priscilla all day long.  And she is a very sweet, down to earth person too!  Anyway, here’s the link on amazon.com so you can support Priscilla!

I took Ginger to Bark in the Park in Lebanon on May 3 and we had a really good time!  There were so many doggies there, plus we got a ton of free stuff from the vendors!  AND…. Ginger revealed how talented she is.  She painted this for me:

Isn’t she a wonderful painter?  Who knew?? 

Anyway, she is recovering from her awful haircut quite nicely.  Here are some photos I took of her just now (forgive the horrible lighting in my living room).  Can you tell she’s spoiled rotten??? LOL

Until next time…

My computer has officially flatlined….. *hoping and praying that I won’t have to reinstall all my programs!*  It should be fixed by tomorrow afternoon though.  Then I’ll be back and posting with photos! 

Ok guys, my computer is sick!  The PC Dr will be here on Saturday to check it out for me, but until then - if you email me and I don’t respond within 48 hours, please resend it!  Or call me!  Thanks!

I have the hard drive to my old computer installed as a slave and I think it is about to bite it.  Hopefully, it will be an easy fix for the PC dude and things will be back to normal this weekend! 

à bientôt! (I’m trying to brush up on my French…. )

This little guy surprised his parents by arriving a few weeks early!  He is so tiny and adorable.  I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph him yesterday!  Here are a few of my favorites of Mr. M. and another quote I love…

“Sons are the anchors of a mother’s life.”
– Sophocles

Until next time…

… and so alert!  Miss C. was so tiny and adorable….  And her bedroom was every little girl’s dream come true!  I love photographing newborns, they’re so fresh and new… it reminds me of what a great gift life really is.  These brand new little people - they have their entire lives ahead of them, anything is possible.  Very exciting, and makes me wish for my own newborn :)  Anyway, I found this quote the other day and I love it:

“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.”  ~Carl Sandburg

Here are a few of my favorites of Miss C:

I’m pleased to announce that I am now a participating photographer for Celebrating Adoption.  This is a great organization and I’m happy to be a part of it!  To find out more, visit their website:  http://www.celebratingadoption.org/

And I had a blast with these two girls!  Miss E and Miss A were full of fun last week when we were by the Square in Lebanon.  It was cold and windy, but they were troopers!  They were great and I can’t wait to photograph them again!  Here are a few of my favorites….

And little Miss E, being REALLY silly LOL…

Thanks girls, see you soon!
