We are home now and the car is well, mostly unpacked. The presents are piled up waiting for me to find them a home and the laundry is mountainous… my desk in an overflow of papers and pens.. bills and cards. We had a blast in California… it was quick but fun. We tried to squeeze as much as possible into every moment.. We came home just in time for New Years Eve which we celebrated with friends and family and some amazing fireworks!!! Winter seems to be settling in here in metropolis and I am missing the warm California sunshine. It was beautiful out there!!! So here is the big overload of my family from California… so that I can move on to a holiday photography sale and some sneak peeks for some amazing families!!!!!

We are doing a deep deep clean here before we are inundated with all the new Christmas stuff… Yesterday I tried really hard to get Austyn to help me out… to no avail…

out of her room she bounded… announcing “IM DRESSED…. IM LEAVING….”

I said Austyn you cant leave its starting to snow and you are barely dressed…come on.. come in the house..

Nope nope… commmmmooon Sa Ann na……… lets go…
I asked her how she was going to leave and just where she was going…

she said… I am going to use my wings…flap them mom… and we are going to go see daddy…
