three months in the making

It took me an entire three months, but I finally finished and sent out Birdie's birth announcements.

Each card came with a DVD of this video.

The Meeker Family Film

I love the way they turned out, but honestly, next time I'm just going to go to Paper Source, sit down at their humongous design books and pick one to be printed. That is, if there is a next time.

Sometimes I hate that I have such definite ideas of what I want. Things rarely turn out as good as they look in my brain, but this time, with the help of a great photographer, videographer and graphic designer, I was able to get exactly what I had imagined.

Turn the sound up on your computer to watch the video. I really dig this song.

if you haven't heard of tara whitney

You are seriously missing out.

She's only the best family photographer in the biz.

Click on over and take a look at more of her work.

Thanks Tara. Love ya!

i have a dream. . .

I have a dream of raising a child who respects Mother Nature and learns the lessons she has to teach. I have a dream of a well behaved dog who infects our family with his carefree canineness.

I have a dream of well balanced life. Of making memories with friends and family. Of passionate kisses with my husband. Of walls covered in my children's art. Of a nation united. Of a flat stomach and tight butt. Of a clean laundry room. Of a sweet child to sleep in our nursery. Of many more days of my feet in the sand and my loved ones laughing in the waves.

Believe in family. Hope for health. Work for peace.

Happy Martin Luther's.
