Whoa… I’ve been a designing fool lately!  Here are my 2009 Christmas Cards!  Aren’t they so pretty?   For Photographers: they are available this week at www.millerslab.com!  These are just a few.  I will be designing a couple of more bundles!  Anywho, school started today so I will have some quiet time to gets lots of work done!  I sent my baby to Junior high, my second baby to 5th grade and my  youngest baby to 2nd!  82 days of summer we survived!!!!  Ok, I have only 15 spots left from August- December!  That is not very many, so if you are wanting to book a fall session for Christmas Cards… you should probably call very soon.   I booked up WAY sooner than other previous years. That makes me nervous for all my clients that are “last minute-ers”  First day of school pics to come!! Enjoy!      OH, big news… we have been working on a very special webblog   hehe… it is so dang cute, I can’t wait for you all to see it.  Everyone knows that I am a clothes FREAK!  I usually sell all my boutique clothes EBAY, but now I have decided to open up our own clothing blog.  I will announce it’s opening ASAP!   I will be selling mostly Sophie’s clothes and our photography wardrobe!  Our closets are overflowing!  It won’t be an auction site like ebay, but a one price buy it now type blog.  My house is overflowing also, so You  NEVER know what will show up on this blog!!!  I am so serious!  I’m in the mood to redecorate and clean out!  So this will be a really fun blog to watch!  STAY. TUNED.

I haven’t had a spare second to post any personal pictures from this summer.  Summer time is always insanely crazy at the Edwards household!  With all 5 of us home, it is so hard to keep the calmness!  The girls see us home and can’t quite grasp the fact that we have to work!   They just want to go go go and I have to be behind the computer easy 10-12 hours a day + a 1-2 hour photo session.  Thank goodness Matt is here to entertain as much as he can!  It has been a busy summer for all of us.  Thank you to my clients, I haven’t had a day off in quite a while!  That IS a good thing!  Addison went to camp for 25 days in June.  TG and Sophie have been such troopers.  They are so good at entertaining themselves.  We had our niece visit for  a week, so that made them happy!  A huge thing happened for our family, my Pogee (grandmother) moved to Fort Smith!  It is so wonderful to have her here. Sophie spent the night with her on her first night!  She is such a special person to us, it is an incredible blessing to have her here.  I’m sad for my brother and his family since she lived right next door to them in NLR.  But, maybe that means we will see more of them !!!  She loves it here and that is what is important!   We have  done lots of swimming and sleepovers and had tons of birthdays, Father’s Day, and the babies got baptized!  We are very much looking forward to our beach vacation!  Hope you all are having a fabulous summer! 

These are two of my favorite clients from Dallas!  It is always a hoot photographing them.  I was thrilled that Mr. Colin was totally into this session.  Mom and Dad joked that last fall, the best one I got was when he was in time out!  He was on the move the whole time.  This time both boys gave me tons!  Thanks kiddos, see you in the fall!
