Madyson is sitting up on her own! One of the little boys in her daycare is about 2 weeks or so younger than she is and this kid is on the verge of walking! I am in no way jealous of his mother. I am completely content with Madyson taking her time becoming mobile. :) Although part of me thinks she will skip the whole crawling thing and move straight to walking. We'll see and I will keep you posted. For now, I am just happy she is self sufficient in the sitting department. It makes it much easier to take pictures of her when Kevin is not around.

Speaking of taking pictures. Steph and I are moving right along with the business. We are official in Virginia, just waiting on California and North Carolina business licenses and we will hit the ground running. Actually, I think we have already hit the ground sprinting! We both already have a couple of things lined up and I cannot wait to get started. It feels amazing to start something new, but even more so, something creative. For those that know me know I have an "A" type personality, but with that, I also have a very creative side that I have always nurtured in some way, whether it was throwing clay, working with watercolors and charcoal, pastels or woodburning. While in the Marine Corps, I think my favorite job, second to being the Flight Line OIC, was S-5. I absolutely loved planning for events such as the Ball, Christmas parties, and squadron events. I think my favorite thing in the S-5 though was putting together the Squadron's cruise book. We hadn't had one since Vietnam and with our 40th Anniversary coming up, the CO wanted one and I jumped at the chance. Plus, it killed a little of the deployment time that seems to drag on forever.

Anyhow, the website is currently under construction but I cannot wait until it is finished! I think we're headed in the right direction and we both love photography and composition. I just need a little refinement in the capabilities of my camera. More on this later...

Until then, here's a little Madyson fix:
