Remember my goal for this week?

Well it took back seat to Andrew's goals which included this:

Oh well, at least I finally finished Madeleine's Easter dress only a few weeks late. The night before Easter I was finishing up the dress when I realized I cut the applique out of the skirt - and unfortunately fabric stores are not open at midnight the night before Easter (they should! I'm sure I'm not the only one who's up late sewing the night before). Oh well, it's finished so she'll get to wear it to church tomorrow.

Guilt Complex...

I have one, a major one. If I owe anybody anything, or if things are lacking with my home/family I can't function on blogging if other things are eating at my mind. Sounds serious doesn't it? It's really silly and so not serious. The past couple of months have been such a whirlwind, it feels like yesterday was Christmas. I really wish I didn't have the need for sleep and that I had boundless energy so that I could keep all the facets of my life in balance. It's really been such a great year for us (aside from the yucky economy - anyone need a fantastic contractor? I have one I highly recommend ;).

Life has been so incredibly busy, but oh so fulfilling. I wish I could freeze time to not allow my baby to grow so fast. I love seeing her progress, but it makes me sad that I can't hold on to her baby stage forever.

The title above really refers to my need to catch up on my portrait processing for clients. I've been very fortunate to have so many wonderful opportunities come my way, and I'm slowly catching up.

I do need and will post on all the wonderful events and pictures that we've enjoyed and that is my goal for the upcoming week.

So until I can throw some stuff together I wanted to leave you with one of my current "this makes me smile" photos - so imperfect in so many ways, but I love it! It was taken at our church Easter egg hunt, and as you can see, Madeleine's daddy was making sure she got a fighting chance even with her small stature. Pure glee, she and I love that man.
