You’re due for a weekly update, but honestly not a whole lot of excitement has happened on our end. Playdates, library trips, and wrangling two kids is really all that’s happened. We did recently celebrate Forrest’s turning one while in Indiana (he’s not quite one yet, but we’ll be in Kansas for his birthday so we wanted to do something here before we left). I’ll be most likely posting a blog showcasing everything from his birthday though, so be on the lookout for that. Anyways, this post isn’t going to be long, but I wanted to give you all a quick update and let you know that I won’t be carrying on the regular weekly updates like normal during the holiday season. I’ll be sharing more topical updates as holidays happen, but nothing that showcases specific week by weeks.

I’m frantically typing this because I feel like I’m running behind in everything lately. I haven’t posted consistently on instagram in weeks, my weddings that I need to finish are starting to pile up, and my kids are exhausting me each and every day. If I’m being honest, I just want to type up this blog post and get it out as quick as possible. I considered skipping, but this recap shares some of the most fun things we’ve done all month, so I knew I couldn’t skip out on sharing all of that. Just please excuse the rush if you read this and notice any typos.

These weekly recaps force me to look back on the events of the week and reflect on what was accomplished. Sometimes the things that I did during the week directly impact my work and show achievements that way, and other weeks the achievements come from the quality family and friends time we have. It’s truly a balance, and not a single week is the same. Kids have really changed my life in that way because b.c. (before children) I would have had similar days and weeks and just trudged through my normal routines. But since having children I cannot plan for hardly anything, routines are nearly nonexistent, and each day and week is definitely not the same anymore.

Fall is busy season for photographers, so we’re really in the thick of work over here. It’s stressful and overwhelming, and while I’ll probably spend a lot of my fall days complaining about how I don’t have enough time to get all of the things done that I need to, I am super grateful for the work that I get to do. I mean, I bust my booty June-October just to do nearly nothing all of the other months in between. 🤷🏼‍♀️
