How to "kill" a sheltie...the nice way.

This wasn't exactly her best run at it (she refused to die!), but considering she learned how to do the trick yesterday I'd say she's doing well!

Chaz hates this trick and usually leaves the room when the gun comes out. Ha!

Growing Belly

I promised a few of you more belly pictures. I laughed looking back at some of the old ones because I can remember feeling "huge" at the time. That "huge" was hardly a little bump :) Pregnancy has still been treating me pretty well -- I don't have many complaints, and I don't think Matt has considered me high maintenance (that I know of)! We are getting excited to have a little one around here.











Other than getting ready for the baby and Matt working some, we have been busy busy busy with the business. We spend a lot of our time in the office but it's been pretty fun lately.

Oh, and I couldn't resist putting this one up. I meant to last time -- I really wanted to take Kaeda with me back to Iowa...

Need your Help

Those of you in Cedar Falls / Waterloo, IA may be already be familiar with our good friend, Ashley, who has become quite the photographer.

www.ashleyschragephotography.com

This is a piggy-back post from Kelsey and Jay's blog. For time's sake, I've just copied Kels' prompt to support Ashley by voting per the information below:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier publishes a "Best of the Best" in the Cedar Valley list each year. I have not been on their website recently, so I just discovered that voting is going on now. The categories range from grocery store to oil change company to photographer. Hmm....photographer. Do I know any outstanding photographers in the Cedar Valley? Actually, I do.

www.ashleyschragephotography.com - Yep, that's the one. If you think Ashley's photography is the best of the best (which I do!) why not take a minute and nominate her?

Go to www.waterloocourier.com and click on "Best of the Best" logo in the upper right hand corner. You can fill out as many categories as you like, or just photography. You do NOT need to submit your name or any other information at the end of the form. Seriously, it will take you a minute.

My regret in all of this is that I didn't see the voting going on sooner. Voting closes August 15 - so hurry up and vote, already!

Ashley, I'm sorry if this post embarrasses you terribly, but for those of us who know your photography truly think you're the Best of the Best. : )

Great idea, Kels!

She's right, it does take less than a minute. Have at it!
