New backdrops on the way & mom's day

I started the week taking the Pence family pics (the sitting I had forgotten about). Luckily they are our neighbors so it wasn't a big deal and she gave me plenty of warning:) It was a warm sunny day and they have 5 kids so it was a lively shoot. Jack is only a couple of months old and wasn't too thrilled about the session so we'll have to try again for his individual pics. The rest of the kids did great though!

Then on Monday I ran out to Elmwood to take pics of a master bedroom/bath that Noah Herman Sons built. It was really cool w/all kinds of neat angles on the ceiling.

On Tuesday I got to take pics of little Santana who is 7 months old. I took pics of her older sister in this same white dress a couple of years ago and they look SO much alike! Such beatiful blue eyes!

Wednesday it was off to Canton to drop off the LAST Headstart order...YAY! I've been running to Canton 2 solid months now w/preschool sessions & orders.

Thursday it was out to Washington to take pics of another beautiful Herman house. These homes are truly amazing!

And on Friday I cleaned my house for a solid 6 hours...SO did NOT want to but needed to be done.

Then today was my mom's work day at her house. About 6 years ago we realized that mom didn't need more "stuff" for Mother's Day...she needed "stuff done" instead so whoever is free the day before Mother's Day comes over to her house and she has a list of things that need done. We did some landscaping, carpentry, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, deck weatherproofing, and lots of flower planting. We had about 25 family members show up and in about 2.5 hours had her whole list done. She bought us all pizza for lunch. For those of you who don't know...my family consists of about 80 some people...so we can fill a small town, and I love all of them..they are awesome:)

Now for the big news. My husband was able to locate some old barn siding and old rusted metal sheeting. Now normally a wife would not be happy about her husband bringing home a whole pickup truck load of junky old wood and metal but I was thrilled with it! He's planning on making some cool backdrops on our property by the lake and in our backyard. I'm thinking seniors especially will like it but it would also work for kids and small families. I'm hoping he can get it all up this week. I'm ready for some new cool backdrops out here!

Happy Mom's Day to all you mother's out there...may you have a blessed one, and someday when we're old...hopefully our kids will come and get "stuff done" at our houses...hint, hint:)
