countdown and list-making

As the summer goes into full-swing, I’m realizing that I have 9-ish weeks now left to prepare for Baby Sparkleberry. So being the organized list-maker I am, I am trying to get an idea of what I still need to do. A lot of it depends on if we’re moving or not, and we won’t know the answer to that question until July 31st at the latest. 1.

Below is a music video from the one and only exposure I had to Michael Jackson as a child: Does anyone else remember this awesome movie, Free Willy?

I was hesitant at first, but she assured me that she loved the pictures I’ve taken in the past (like the ones from Sopeak & Zay’s wedding). I’ve been really nervous about this, because I know I don’t have the talent of a professional photographer and…
