I remember when I was sixteen and going to take my driving test for the second time (why does the state of Washington require you to back around a corner within one foot of the curb? I have never seen any driver do that) - I was telling myself I could do this. I thought... Continue Reading →
chaotic is the norm
Here's my sleeping beauty on day six of existence. He scrunched up his face at the flash. I was watching Celebrity Apprentice the other day and noticed Donald Trump make that same face. Here's hoping Brandon grows up to be a billionaire, as well. I can already tell he'll have better hair.After a few days... Continue Reading →

There is an Omaha photographer that offers such a service for basically the... Continue Reading →
