Moving Home -- ahhh :)

Best thing we have ever done for our little family. I love being home. My parents have been off galavanting since we got here but good for them! They can, so why not?

The BOYS love it here. Sterling loved his first day of preschool. He cracked up the teachers. Love it. I still need to post pics of Sterling's first day of preschool. I have SO many other photo things I need to do too! Must blog more.

Harrison is doing well in Kindergarten. He brought home his first 'homework' on Friday and had it finished in about 10 seconds flat. I'm kind of hoping it was just a test to see where kids are in relation to each other. It was something Harrison could have done a year ago. Eh ... I guess if he gets to breeze through Kindergarten that wouldn't be too bad either. :) He loves it and his school is AWESOME.

It's great being here and being able to see my siblings and their families a lot too. I love when they just pop in to say hi to my parents or us. It's great.

I was able to go up to Calgary yesterday and be a photo expert in a seminar. The program speaker was awesome and it was a basic photography course. There were 300 attendees and only 4 photo experts and only 3 of us for most of the time, so we really got a workout going up and down the stairs of the theater :) I really enjoyed myself. It was a great group to work with.

I've photography my brother's dental office, my sister's jewelry, a 1-year-old smash-the-cake session, a newborn and a wedding since I got here. Not too bad :)

I just launched a new family/kids website and new pricing for Southern Alberta. Not sure how that will go over. New website

I'll launch my wedding site entirely separately from that one as the sites pertain to two different markets.

I'm still in an interesting spot pricing-wise for portraits. The other pros in the industry say Do not give the CD with the session, keep your Florida rates. Yeah, no. And then the feel I'm getting from the market is I'm going to have a hard time getting the $350. We'll see how the rest of this year goes. I'm really hoping to open a full-blown studio next year early fall but just not sure how that would happen right now.

Brian is enjoying Costco a lot. We love his hours. He's working 2 p.m. - 11 p.m. Wed-Sunday right now. He's around to help get the kids ready and to school and I just like having him around :)

On the baby front, I'm still working on getting a high-risk doctor in Calgary. My experience here with the doctor in Lethbridge was not a positive one. The baby is a kicker and a mover and I love it :) There is NOTHING better in this world than feeling a baby move inside of me :)
