Well, another late post this week!  It’s ok though, I have an excuse!  I am running around like a crazy woman trying to get ready for our vacation!  My house looks like a tornado went through it, not one single thing has been packed, and I have THREE shoots this week and TONS of work to edit!  If I can pull all this together it will be a miracle! 🙂  So Friday, I had a newborn session with a handsome little baby boy!  He was the sweetest little thing and so easy to work with. 🙂  Saturday, we went to Carter’s soccer game, I had a client meeting, and I had the pleasure of working with Becky and Chris at their wedding!  I did their engagement session a few months back and they are such a fun couple to work with!  Their wedding was so beautiful and I cant wait to get these images blogged!  And Sunday while I should have been packing and cleaning…I really just laid around and did nothing.  I gave myself the excuse “I worked all day Saturday!” to be lazy yesterday. 🙂  This week will be non stop, so Im glad I got one day of rest.  Onto the goals….

Happy Monday!

WOW!  What a FUN and BUSY weekend it was!!  We went on our annual camping trip to Goochland and apple picking at Carter Mountain this weekend!  It was a such a fun and relaxing time, but why do I feel exhausted?!?!  I guess its kind of like when you go on vacation and you get home and feel like you need another vacation lol!  The kids were pretty tired this morning too and I think it will take us a day or two to adjust.  But, it was so much fun and I already am looking forward to next year’s trip. 🙂

Saturday after Carter’s soccer game, we headed to Goochland, where we spent the day raking leaves and jumping in them, fishing, riding around in the golf cart, taking pictures :), and hanging out by the fire.  The kids spent a lot of time playing inside the cabin together and having fun outside.  They got along SO well…it made me realize how much more often we need to get out with them.  When they are at home they just get under each other’s skin and purposely try to pick on each other!  This weekend, it was like having two different children lol!  Later, we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, carved pumpkins, and the kids watched a movie in bed together.  I would love to get up to Goochland more often…its such a fun place for everyone!  Kaleigh’s favorite part of camping at Goochland was playing with the Indian dolls lol and Carter’s favorite part was fishing. 🙂

Sunday we woke up, packed everything up, and headed to Carter Mountain.  I was shocked to see how crowded it was!!!  Thankfully, we ate at Michie’s Tavern first so the crowd died down a little, but there were still A LOT of people there!  It was just the perfect day to go.  The walk was long, but it was worth it when we found all the apples on the trees!  We enjoyed picking apples and eating them and just hanging out as a family.  We also enjoyed eating their amazing apple doughnuts!  If you’ve never tried them before, you have to!  So good!  We didnt end up leaving until 6:30 and by the time we got home, I was beat.  I had so much to do last night, but decided to sleep instead, knowing it would be the best thing for me.  Ive got a busy couple of weeks coming up before we leave for the cruise and I need all the rest I can get!

Today will be spent catching up on emails, cleaning, unpacking, and editing.  I will do a blog post soon on our trip this weekend!  Until then, here are the goals!
