Family

A tradition in the Falder family was to dine at Ruths Chris on the 23rd of December. We decided to honor that tradition again this year for a night out.... without kids!!

Merry Christmas!

Troy and Ashley joined us via Skype from Seattle. We won't mention that it was 3:30 a.m. their time! We're looking forward to Baby Tiberi joining us in one month!

A Russian gas mask from Uncle T & Auntie A :)

"Lydia, show me your excited face."

A special present from Pop and Grammy: season tickets to Kings Island for Mike and Jonah!


And now I sit. It's quiet. I needed to relax.

I'm always asking the kids, "So what was your favorite gift this year? What gift are you most excited about?" I got a new camera from my husband. That makes me smile.

"But [He] made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father!"

Thank you, Jesus.

Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow!

I'm working on some friends' pictures tonight-- the pictures I haven't had enough time to edit during the busy fall season! My friend, Jana, is pregnant with her first child. This shot just made me smile:

Silent Night

What a fun night on campus!

boys.

Lynn and I became friends when we were 14. I wrote about her and our friend Leann here. After all the history, we entered the world of motherhood within 11 days of each other.


Although they're getting older and developing their own interests and personalities, it's fun to see them enjoy one another. Okay, perhaps Jonah enjoys Aidan a little too much!

Lydia's First Christmas Program

Adorable.

Wow. I'm ready to be done with this photo season. I feel like a definite business owner and am ready for a break! I have three more sessions before Christmas and then I'll be relaxing without my laptop in front of me!!!!

I'll be taking the month of January to work on marketing, advertising, imaging, pricing, etc.

I thought you could help me get a boost on a few of my January goals:
1. I want to make better use of Facebook as an advertising tool.
2. I want a tagline.

Are you my "fan" on FB yet? Do you have any ideas for a tagline?

Thanks, friends!
