Earl.



My nephew, Earl, turned 6 months this past week,
and I had the privilege of taking his pictures.



If any of you have seen Meet the Robinson's,
Earl looks just like "Goob".



Another common thought is that he looks like an old grandpa;
that could just be because of his name (Earl LaVar Tate IV).



Either way, it is moments like these that I forget
this is my job, and not just a wonderful hobby.
He is adorable.

A-BOUT-TIME!

I know, I know, it has been over a month since I have blogged.
To say I have been busy would be an understatement.
That is the only excuse I am giving on why I haven't been blogging.
Because let's be honest, excuses are lame.
Now I will give you an update on the "busyness"...

1. Let's start with the wedding...


Besides the intense rain, the day was just beautiful.
I loved every minute of it, and Tim & Amy were so happy.
It was the first time that my entire family has been
in the Temple TOGETHER.
I have been looking forward to that moment for so long.
I would have to say, the dancing was the best part.
You can see more pictures on my sister's blog here.

2. The Cruise...
For a while now, my parents have been planning a cruise
for us to all go on when Alex and I got home from our missions.




It was the BEST vacation!! Our entire family was together,
and we were able to just have fun with no stress.
We are trying to make up for all of the years we haven't
been able to spend together with all of this family time.
I am never happier than when I am with my family.



My sisters, mom and I did a lot of crazy dancing on the boat.
We even danced on the island with the natives!
I think they enjoyed it.



I just have to say I am grateful that
my family can be together forever.



3. Dairy and Gluuuuuuuuuten...
When I got home from my mission,
I was still getting sick from something I was eating.
My friend said I should try eating gluten-free,
and I thought she was crazy.
But, I felt that I should, so I did.
Lo and behold, I felt better.
So ever since, I have been eating dairy and gluten free.
I decided to go to the doctor to find out if I have Celiac Disease.
He told me that I needed to eat gluten for two weeks
before I can have an endoscopy.
My initial thought... Why not add dairy to the mix?



It has been quite an interesting week and a half..
The food has been DELICIOUS
but I have never felt so sick before.
I am actually looking forward to Monday
when I don't have to eat gluten and dairy anymore.
Did I just say that?
It has been good to have closure with my favorite foods...
Yes, I needed closure.

4. Work, work, work..
I have been working like crazy.
Luckily I love it..
How could I not?



It is wedding season,
and I am so happy to be back.
But besides weddings, I get to capture
little darlings like this guy.
Yes, you could say I have the best job.











5. The boy..
Now for the main reason my blogging has been..
nonexistent for the past month and a half.



Meet Richard.
He is great.
And he takes up all of my free time.
My sister, Annelise set us up,
and we have talked every day since.

Speaking of Annelise, she is up to date
on her blogging, and many of it is what
I have been up to lately.
So, if you so desire to see more of
what I have been doing, check out her blog.
