Playing Catch Up

I bet you all have been wondering where I have been. It is not like me to go this long without posting, but life has been a little more hectic these past few weeks and I don't expect things to let up until we get through the Month of April!! Once we are into May, life will slow back down and I am looking forward to it.....I need to recharge my batteries so to speak!!

Last week I was in Louisville on business and it was a great couple of days, but the highlight of my week was a bloggy get together planned and coordinated by Felicia!!

She is such a sweetheart. When I emailed her and told her that I was coming on business, she quickly gathered a group of bloggy friends and coordinated a dinner while I was in town!! We had such a great time!! Marla, Missy, Felicia, Becky, Virgina, and Leslie....what a pleasure to meet you all in person!! You are all as beautiful and sweet as you appear to be on your blogs......and your little cutie pies just made the night extra special. Honestly, I don't know who had more fun.....the little girls, or us big girls!! I was only saddened that Sarah could not be there to take part in all the fun. Hopefully you will all do as you said and roadtrip in my direction so she won't miss out on the next get together!!

We all went to dinner and then were outside the restaurant in true Mamarazzi fashion with our cameras chasing the girls as they blew bubbles and had a grand old time!! We definitely were getting some looks by passers by:)

Here are some of the pictures from the evening......


The group shot taken by a waitress from the restaurant.



Marla's daughter Adalyn.....She is just TOO CUTE and she rocked her polka dots and pink tutu like no other. She looked like quite the little fashionista!!

Felicia's little one Ava. She is so tiny and so precious.....I could just eat her up!! She was queen of the bubble blower that night!!


Becky's daughters, Olivia and Sophia......look at that sisterly love....they were so adorable and obviously knew what to do when a camera was pointed in their direction:)


Leslie's daughter Lily, posing with little Ava. Lily is just the sweetest little girl filled with so much personality and she is absolutely adorable....she loved the camera and it loved her right back!!

Leslie's other daughter Ella, who was busy chasing bubbles. I loved this shot of her...I snapped just as she was about to pop a bubble!! Another precious little girl who knew how to earn her way straight to my heart!!

It was so much fun to stand back and watch all these little ones interact as we all gabbed the night away!!

I also need to make a special thanks to my girl MISSY. When she heard that I was going to be in Louisville, she jumped in her car and drove the two hours to join in on the fun. After the dinner came to an end and everyone had to go back home, she and I spent the rest of the evening laughing and talking like we were friends our entire lives. I am still sad that you are unable to make the trip to PA next weekend for the Photography workshop, but know that there will be other opportunites in the near future:) Thanks again for making my trip complete!!

Once Friday morning arrived, I jumped on my plane to head back home and was greeted by my family whom I REALLY missed!! I have spent the weekend playing catch up as we have another busy week ahead. My camera has been clicking nonstop since my arrival, I had a lot to make up for, it really has not gotten much use these last two weeks!!

Nick and I spent some quality time together volunteering at our local Autism walk Saturday morning and then Sarah and I had an afternoon outside.....it was almost 80 Degrees and BEAUTIFUL!! I think Spring has finally arrived!! I will definitely have lots to post about this week....stay tuned for pictures galore:)

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend.....I plan to make my way around the blogosphere these next couple days....my blogger dashboard is filled to the brim!!
