Yes, I know it has been slightly over a month since my last update. It seemed like I could never get the time to update the blog. It was one thing after another. Either the kids, the house, Magical Moments, the dog or some other crisis. During all of the chaos, by the time I was at the end of the day, I was too tired to think about blogging or what to say. All I wanted was sleep! So please forgive me.
The house is coming along. Here is the transition of the basement family room/kitchen into my office and family room. I know that when this is completed it will be a huge improvement over what we had. Sheryl tell me it is like having a child. A pain while you are going through it but worth the joy in the end.
“Daddy come here! Look at the sunset!” is often heard in the early evening hours. There are times when I’m returning from a shoot, a client meeting or a family errand, notice an exceptional sunset and call home to have Meghan share it with me. I’m not sure how this tradition began but we’ve been doing it for years.
One of my favorite sunsets I spent with Meghan was a couple of years ago. I think Meghan was almost 4 and Mathew was about 10 months old. Our family along with my in-laws had gone to Door County for a long weekend. There was one evening we were along the shores of the lake. It might have been at Sister Bay. It was quite peaceful, Meghan was exploring the shore under the watchful eye of her parents. Mathew was too young to get into trouble. Anyway there was a perfect sunset to cap off a perfect evening. That’s Meghan’s silhouette. She ran into my picture just as I snapped the shutter. I loved this picture so much, I used it as my desktop image. A couple of minutes later it was time to leave and put the kids to bed.
