Halle Rose
Imagine being pregnant for 3 1/2 years and not knowing your due date.
Frustration, anxiousness, happy, sad…the range of emotions our family has gone through during the process of our adoption (first with China and now with Korea) has been wide and deep. This morning we got the call we have been hoping to get for 3 1/2 years…the call to go pick up our new daughter, Halle. [Read more...]
This is my son Jake. He is a rock star. He may not have thousands of adoring fans and requests for television appearances, but he truly was a rock star in my eyes when he played his first show. He was super nervous before the crowd of a little over 200 people, but once he got up there, he was addicted to the feeling. After we got home that night he was on a major adrenaline high.
He is a student at The School of Rock Music in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and he is having a blast. I am too.
Gil is my son’s Crested Gecko. After we had to get rid of his pair of rats (Tina & Tonya) we racked our brains for months trying to think of the perfect pet. I looked at different types of lizards, but then a co-worker of mine turned me on to the Crested Gecko. She was right…the perfect pet for a 9 year old (other than a dog, which we already have). Gil is colorful, interesting to watch, fun to play with and easy to clean up after.
I took this shot when Gil was only about 6-8 weeks old. He loves to lick his eyes when he is nice and relaxed.
This shot was taken at the School of Rock Music Best of Season show in Apple Valley, Minnesota. This shot show’s the power that young Sam wields enticing the young fans to throw up the horns. This was my first shoot for the School of Rock and it was a blast. I got a lot of great shots which can be seen in this Flickr set. I am in the process of going through some more shots from more current shows…this time with my son on guitar!
I played guitar and bass when I was in high school and would have KILLED for an opportunity to play in a school like this. Their shows are so well done and the teachers are incredible. I highly recommend checking them out if you have a musically inclined 8-18 year old. You can find them at www.schoolofrock.com.
