It may be a while...

'Til my next post. Here we are... Labor Day weekend. After this weekend, life in the Tovey household will be completely chaotic, but I'll update as often as I can. Although, it is still "summer" according to our calendar, it is the end of summer in most people's eyes. School begins for us (Travis and I) on Tuesday, soccer season is officially here (Dennis is coaching Travis's team) and I mentally prepare for the very long winter ahead. I know we may not get snow for a couple months, a couple months goes by pretty quickly. I start to pull out sweaters, sweatshirts, jeans, jackets, hats, mittens, etc... I also begin to think about how nice it would be to move from here to a warmer climate, but also think about how much I would miss Maine. So, I just scheme on how we can make it to Florida for a vacation in the spring.
I must admit that I absolutely love Fall... the foliage is absolutely beautiful, apple picking, hay rides, carving pumpkins, getting ready for Halloween, taking pictures (of course) of my children in warm sweaters, trying to get them to cooperate for Christmas card photos, raking leaves then letting the kids jump in the piles.
The kids and I are also taking dance classes this year. Travis will try hip-hop, Taylor - ballet & tap, and I'm taking Jazz, tap & hip-hop. Our schedule will be as follows:

Monday: Taylor's dance class
Tuesday: I have school
Wednesday: Trav's soccer practice
Thursday: school for me again;Trav's dance class
Friday: nothing (yay!)
Saturday: soccer games (both kids)
Sunday night: Lou-Ann's dance classes

Of course, this is in addition to my job, Dennis's job & of course, homework ...eek! It looks worse on paper! Well, I suppose if I didn't keep busy I may get bored (??)

So... if nobody hears from me in a while, I'm still alive... (I hope)



and as usual I must share some pics:

Babies...

You gotta' love them... They're sweet, innocent, pure, (not to mention they smell wonderful!), warm, and the list goes on and on...

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a 6 week old little boy - Oh, it made me just want to wrap him up and bring him home. He is absolutely beautiful! Thank you, 'Baby B' and to his mom, Shelly for letting me do this... Here are a few to share:





Thanks for looking ;0) Until next time....

"The World I Live In Now"


This is the song my 7 year niece wrote... I must say I was pretty impressed when I listened to her sing it, but when I heard all the lyrics - Wow! :)








"I Know The World I Live In"


I think I know the world I live in now
I love the new faces I see right now
The world is saying all my words for me
Cause I'm silent and I can't talk
I can't breathe...

I'm happy just the way I am
I'm stuck inside my soul
I love the sky when it's blue
I love everything in my life
Cause it's not so perfect

Yeah

Everything is not what I planned to be...

Finally! A little girl who LOVES to have her picture taken - we'll call her "Little Bit"... Just sharing a few from a couple of nights ago. Thanks, Little Bit for allowing me to photograph you. I can't wait to do more... :o) Hugs....
