Bad...Bad...Bad

Had one of these on the way home tonight. Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake from Chick-fil-a. So yummy! Yet, so bad as far as the scales are concerned. At least I wasn't the only one being bad. If you're going to be bad...be bad with a friend! :)

This man deserves a gold star!

Last year he "felt like a sausage".

This year - "I look like an elf"

Oh, what Julio will endure for the Christmas photo. Mainly I think he endures it because he loves this one so much!

Oh and this one too!

I "heart' Photoshop!

Oh, and the blue socks on a certain Bohrer girl...they were not blue to start with! :) Click on the photo for a larger version. And I'm still editing. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, send some dark chocolate and a Diet Dr. Pepper to rescue me!

Props

Spent most of this morning and part of the afternoon shooting portraits for Christmas cards, gifts and the like. Big shout out to Lisa, my ultra-creative friend, for the new prop. Amazing what fun you can have with a 50 cent frame. It got a workout today!

Bohrer Family

I took my pastor's family photos this afternoon. I just never know what to do with them. They're all so serious.

I mean it's intimidating. They're all so stoic, almost dignified, you might say

Ummmm.....that's better

Not quite hot off the press

Something came in the mail this week that I've never received before. I'm holding in my hand the manuscript for a "not yet published" book. The author contacted me to see if I would read the book and write a recommendation. I felt very honored. Now the recommendation may or may not be included in the book when it goes to print next year, but I'm excited to be able to get a look at the book this early. And judging by the author's previous works, I'm sure it will be great. Are you wondering who the author is and what the book is about? Hmmmm.......

Not much to report today. I did laundry, washed dishes, and edited photos. Exciting! So I'll leave you with a photo of this little guy. He was working hard in the tree in the front yard. But since it's dead anyway and we really need to cut it down, I say, "Have at it little woodpecker!"
