Just look at that pose... blows Magnum away

The turbo slide provides a mixture of excitement and terror

My Mom and Em. Photo by Mary

Well, I'm back in the Midwest for a few days. I flew into Minneapolis to meet up with my Mom, who was up there for my cousin Emily's second birthday party. My aunt Mary put together a great little party at the Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater, MN. The place was donated by some local philanthropists and has a lot of cool stuff for the little ones. There were a bunch of adorable kids there, but Emily was easily the most adorable of all. Mary employed me to run the camera. I blew through 197 pictures and maxed out the camera before the party was even over! I was pretty proud of the photo on the left and got some other cool ones. It was fun to run around trying to keep up with those little fireballs trying to capture the action.

All in all, I would call it a huge success! Afterward, we picked Jeff up at the airport and headed back to the 'kee. We've got a chill Sunday to relax and I'll be getting my third birthday cake this evening! Tomorrow we're heading to Rochester, MN to support my Dad through a surgery. It's going to be a tense few days, so please keep us in your prayers and send some positive thoughts our way. Hopefully I'll have good news to report on Wednesday!

Hmm... not much else to report. I officially launched the new Stellina Sport website on Friday, which is really exciting. Once I polish up the Westward Pictures site I'm taking a long break from freelancing. It's fun work, but it will be fun to just goof off in the evenings... maybe get back into doing some stained glass :)
