Gosh. One month later.

I have been pretty awful with keeping up with this blog. Oops.

The past few weeks have been a bit crazy. The Princess got out of school June 10 and that very day we left for Florida to visit my parents. My brother and sister were also there, so it was an extra special visit.

Only... we were ALL stricken with some sort of stomach bug that first week there. I usually seem immune to such things, but this time I was hit pretty hard. The only one who didn't get sick was the Princess, oddly enough.

During that time I was diligently working on two clients' photos as well as my website, and I think I pretty much exhausted ever bone in my body trying to get all of these things done. The remaining two weeks in Florida were spent relaxing, which most of you know I don't like to do even though I'm sure it was some much-needed rest.

Upon returning home, I wasn't exactly ready to jump back into the whole routine. Fortunately the kids went to Chicago with their dad to celebrate the 4th of July and his birthday. A week later the Baby returned with him, but the older two are driving back with their aunt, and should be arriving later this evening.

During my free time, I attempted to get some cleaning done around the house, as I was in a major purging mood. But instead the dual portal option for my website was added and I decided to do a completely different website for my wedding portfolio. I strongly feel that the marketing for weddings and portraits is completely different. And now I have a way to showcase more photos from the weddings I've photographed. I'm happy with it. But it took a long time to complete. Of course, now I feel like my original site (the one that features portraits) looks boring. Oh well.

I am back at the gym, though the first week was pure torture. Headaches, muscle aches, etc. etc. Taking three weeks off wasn't such a great idea. I did enjoy my diet of Cheetos and Diet Coke (along with mom's home cooking).

Well, that's all I've been up to. I can't believe the summer is half way over.
