Good day...Great news!!..shout out.

Its been a while since I've posted... Its been a busy week. Im actually getting some fairly regular photography work now...yah!! More commercial photography than the portraits that I'd like to be doing but hey.... its a fantastic start! On the up and up... we found out yesterday that Obama did not let us down with the mortgage grant... it came thru at the very last moment for us as we were getting ready to sign the rental agreement on our new home less than 24 hours later. YAAAHH!!! We are not losing our house! Yippeee!!!

Today was a wonderful day!! Andy had the day off so we took a drive to Amish Country in Lancaster PA... such a pretty and pure place. Tons of photos from today on my flickr. As most of you know Katy and Max are really into trains. Lancaster has a few train touristy hot spots that we like to go to treat the kids. Today we got to ride on an old steam locomotive... so much fun. The country side in Lancaster is amazing... its amazing to me that these people have not evolved into technology and have retained the simple way of living just as there founding ancestors have hundreds of years ago.

This weekend we are celebrating some birthdays in the family... on of which was my fathers... eeek... I didn't call him today.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Katy turned 1 on the 5th of May... happy Cinco de Mayo little chica! Andy's Dad Joe is having a birthday on my 6 year anniversary... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Papa JOE!!! And last but not least... Mother's day... if I don't get a chance to post again this weekend... HAPPY MOMMIES DAY!! Hugs to everyone...I miss you guys!
