CHARLIE ROBERT RICH

Today after church we made our way to my parents' house for this little guy's close-up. He was a joy to work with and we all think that he looks just like his older brother, Duncan. Speaking of little Duncan, he has gotten sicker and as much as I hate to say it, his octave-lowered voice due to sickness is probably the cutest thing ever. The night was topped off with some dinner with the family including my Grandma and Grandpa Bush and some much needed Nintendo with the boys.

PHOTOGENIC FAMILY

Today we had plans to go to my parents' house to take some newborn photos of Charlie. Unfortunately, Sara called to say that tomorrow would probably work better for them (poor little Duncan was a tad sick last night and it sounds like he has gotten worse). In the evening we went with the Lynch family to pick out our very best photos from last week to be hung on the wall of the Lynchland home. We all laughed at how silly we looked in many of the pictures and these frame samples mesmerized me while the photos were payed for.

CALIFORNIA BOYS

Late last night my sister and her family got in for a visit from California for a visit to her in-laws. They will be here the whole weekend, but will mostly be at the in-laws except to sleep at my parents' each night. We got to meet little Charlie and play some well deserved games with Duncan. Side note: Duncan kept calling the controller a 'container' and in this picture he is hilariously playing Nintendo with two containers.

FAMOUS

I realize these are two people that you don't know, as you shouldn't. These are two of the highest up executives from my work and they have spent the whole week promoting our purses in the Big Apple to head honcho magazine editors. So why am I showing you this photo? Well through a series of events at work, my phone has been the designated phone for posting all of our fun photos to our company instagram. It's a lot of pressure, but I think it's fun.

GROUNDHOG DAY

Today was much like Monday and Tuesday combined: photo shoot scouting and exercising with my lady friends. The scouting location today was Tracy Aviary up in Salt Lake City; I got so super lost (my ultimate frustration in life) and made about seven u-turns before getting there. I arrived to two frustrated co-workers forty-five minutes late with the mentality that this day should already be over. After work I went to Stephanie's house (again) for some Just Dance (3). We killed it and I know for a terrible fact that I am going to feel that one tomorrow.

SCOUTIN'

Catalogue prep season is upon us again at work, so today was filled with driving around the valley trying to find the perfect backdrop for our spring line. One stop was at the greenhouse by the Larkin Cemetery; they had the most lush green foliage I have ever seen. This plant, by far, was my favorite because of how large and eye-catchy it was. After work I went to Stephanie's house for some Wii Zumba (I swear my brain has no communication with my hips). No weigh-in today, hence the cancelled plans leading to my after-work workout.

COMIN' ALONG

Fall is a comin' along and it was apparent today during my walk with Stephanie: the sky was as blue as can be and the leaves are all on the very verge of changing. We have recently made it a bit of a routine to go walking every Monday after work and catch up on our lives. Both of our usual Tuesday plans have fallen through, so tomorrow we will be doing some more of this, but in the meantime we are going to keep slimming down these shadows.
