So you wonder where we have been?!

I know I am usually a very regular blogger, but there are times in life that blogging takes a back seat.  I think Snow Patrol is on the back seat right now.  Why you ask?  How are you going to continue to get your fill of our adorable children and my witty writing?  Well I'm sure it is not a permanent seat.  More like when you go to Disney World and stand in line at your favorite ride forever just to have the thrill of the wind through your hair for 30 seconds, and just when you think if only I could just stay right where I am in this seat maybe no one will notice me and I can ride again and again you are ejected from your seat to join the masses.  I know I will join the masses once again, but until then let me explain.

About a month ago Riley bought out his partner.  So what was Sanders and Snow became Riley S. Snow, PC.  Which was good for Riley since his partner turned into a complete tool and was dragging us all down, but the buy out put us in the po' house.  So since that time Riley has been working up a storm which leaves an ever growing list of honey do's around the house that seem to occupy the remainder of his free time and our weekends.

I have also been working a lot and redesigning my photography website with a whole new look.  Stay tuned for that.  I promise it will be worth the lack of blog posts.  One of the daunting things about the redesign is I knew I had to include a headshot.  So many people have given me this advice, but being the one that doesn't like to be in front of the camera I have been avoiding it like the plague.  But I understand that you would want to know that there isn't some Marilyn Manson look alike waiting to take your children's pictures.  So I have been broken down and because of the afore mentioned po' house I opted to let Riley have a try at taking a picture of yours truly until I'm skinny enough, my hair is exactly the length and style I want it, I have a fabulous wardrobe, can afford professional hair, make-up and photography so I can work it like Tyra and 'smile with my eyes'!!

Attempt one did not go as well as I had hoped.  This was after a full day of work I came home and changed into what I was hoping would be a fabulous outfit and worked it out for Riley in our backyard.  That would explain the tree stake coming out of my head.  Hmmm, we will try again, but if anyone has any suggestions to make me look fabulous I would love to hear them.

I think you look FABULOUS. Props to Riley for trying something new... :) (in taking over the biz and taking your pic).

Looks great- your eyes are amazing. I think that you have a great shot for the site. If you wanted to change anything maybe (as cheesy as it sounds) tilt your head and tip your chin up just a bit, like you are looking up into the camera. Riley may have to get just a tiny bit higher but he is working with a good subject matter so it should be no prob! Good luck, I hate doing the business side of photography so props to you for being so great at it!

I have missed you. Good to hear from you again. I think the photos look great and have to agree that your eyes always look amazing! I'm excited to see the new website.

So glad to see a new post. I think Riley did a great job as he had a great subject to photo. I guess I'm bias since you are my daughter. I think you are absolutely beautiful. Miss you all so much!

Congrats on all the big changes...that is very exciting, but I can imagine its a bit stressful as well. And, seriously, you look amazing in all the photos! Great outfit, perfect hair...the photo on the top right is perfect!
