My quest for simplification

So my New Year's resolution this year was to simplify my life. I have had a good start towards my goal! This past week I finished the laundry room. I had an old sink in the laundry that was basically being used as a catch all for all my junk. My philosophy is, "If you aren't using it, get rid of it!" So I had Dave rip out that old sink and we replaced it with a beautiful entryway system from Pottery Barn. Now why didn't I think of that sooner. It is amazing. The kids now have a place to hang coats and backpacks. I now walk in that room and feel, well, so simplified! I also covered up that old orange paint with a fresh coat of chocolate brown. I love it! Next step in my quest, my closet and the kids' bathroom! So much to do and so little time before wedding season starts again!

Jack is ONE!

It just seems like yesterday that I was shooting Amanda's maternity pictures and now look, Jack is already 1. It has been such a pleasure this past year shooting baby Jack as he grew up. A little bit of a bummer that I won't see him as often now! I will be posting soon some pages from Jack's first year storybook. Here are some pix from his 1 year shoot!
