Real Professional Pictures

For Christmas my Dad got my Mom a photo session with our friend and amazing photographer, Jana, for the whole entire family. We met at Furman on Sunday and she got some amazing pictures in a short time. And she already has them edited and up on her blog. Impressive.

The link is here. I keep going back and watching the slide show over and over again. I think I’ve picked out my favorite. Be prepared- they are really good. And she was working with 7 kids under 5. Seriously impressive.

81. Enjoy the funnel cakes, shopping, bands, children’s rides and more at the Spring Fling.

We went down to Spring Fling on Saturday morning and had a really good time. We barely made it out of the children’s area (Thanks Will!) but we did manage to get a funnel cake for lunch.

Sienna loved riding the train but  Kiran was scared of it. Kiran was not scared of the really tall slide however.

I think my favorite part of Spring Fling was that we kept running into people that we knew. We’ve lived here almost 3 years now but its just starting to really feel like home. Since our families are still in Greenville, we still spend a lot of time there. But walking around Spring Fling and running into people that we know from various places really made me feel at home here. I want to bloom where I’m planted and live in the present not the past or the future (something I’m guilty of doing all the time).

I do think that the City of Spartanburg should pay us for being a walking attraction. It is unbelievable the attention we get when we are out with all 4 kids. It doesn’t *usually* bother me unless they say something like “If I had twins I’d need a gun to shoot myself” (yes a fireman actually said that to me). Seriously? That’s the best thing you could think of to say in this situation?

I’m not usually a public displayer of affection but I really do love him. Count the kids. Three. He’s amazing. And mine.
