Nathaniel

Meet Nathaniel Merrell!  He's is 15 months old and full of joy!  He is the happiest baby and melts my heart. 

I don't usually play with black and white but I thought I would give it a try.

Enjoy!

This photo is my favorite!  I finally caught him looking and smiling!  So sweet.

Jonathan

Meet Jonathan Fernandez.  He is my favorite friend in Ottumwa.  He loves to visit the Held residents and play with Carson and Nelly (fur-babies) and he usually finds a few of Peyton's (dss) toys. 

Jonathan is not shy and he LOVES the camera!

New Hobby!

Hey folks.

I'm still here.  Just waiting.  Again.  Yep.  A couple of updates regarding IVF...  I met with my RE and he said he wants to wait for CD1 (which is any day now) to start BCP and he will decide 1of 2 different protocols.  I'd love to go into detail about the differences between the 2 protocols but it's boring.  Now, onto my new hobby!

I purchased a new camera, a Canon Rebel T3i and have been very busy taking photography classes, learning the basics and I even entered my first photography contest!

The local photo shop in town hosts a monthly contest.  The June contest was Pretty in Pink so I thought, 'Oh yeah, I'm in!' and guess what?!?!  I WON!  This was a real boost in my photographer confidence and all I can say is...  I needed this win.  It feels great to finally get some good news.

My name will be announced on the radio and my photo will be in 11x14 size & hung in the store for the entire month of July!  Cool!

Here she is, my little confidence booster.  Meet baby Isabella.  Xoxo
