What Are the Causes of Eyelid Discoloration?
The lids of the eyes can become discolored for many reasons, including hormone change or imbalance, certain disorders, infections, medications, inflammation and aging.
Some of the most common causes of eyelid discoloration are: Bruising: Usually after a trauma to the eye area Hormone changes caused by cyclic changes, thyroid, pregnancy, menopause or illness Prescription medications can cause eyelid color change. An example of a common medication that can cause lid discoloration are prescribed drops for glaucoma called prostaglandins. Jaundice: A yellowing of the skin associated with liver function Diseases and illnesses
Associated Illnesses
Some of the illnesses that can cause lid color change include:
Chronic allergic conjunctivitis Illnesses affecting the liver Periorbital infections of the skin can cause color change in the lid and may be associated with influenza or strep infections. Blepharochalasis is a rare degenerative disease unique to the skin of the eyelids. Connective tissue disorders, such as Lupus Cancer and benign lesions
Lid discoloration can be gradual, in the case of aging and normal skin changes. But it can also be a sign of changing health issues and should be monitored. Sudden discoloration is more concerning and should not be disregarded.
If you notice a change to your lids, note the time frame and degree of discoloration. Also keep track of any new medications, including vitamins and supplements, that you take on a regular basis, have started taking or might have recently stopped using.
Any change in lid color warrants a consultation with your physician or eye-care specialist. Eye infections can rapidly deteriorate and should be treated as soon as possible.

The Tribe Goes to Phoenix
Lost Dutchman State Park
I did a photo shoot for a family while we were there for my photography business, Armor and Ash. It was so cool (and also challenging) to shoot in a totally different type of location than I am used to. You can see those photos here!
Buffalo Park/Flagstaff
In Flagstaff we hiked around Buffalo Park. We also went downtown to eat lunch and grab coffee at the cutest little shop, Matador Coffee.
We hiked West Fork trail in Sedona and oh my gosh...it was so beautiful!
It just so happens that Nash got his first haircut while we were in Arizona. It was very much on a whim but he really needed it! He surprisingly did really well...I think he was just very curious as to what was going on :)

Capitol Alert
AM Alert: Field Poll finds support for health care ballot measures
A new Field Poll has found strong early support for two contentious health care-related ballot measures.
Nearly 70 percent of likely voters back Proposition 45, which would give the state insurance commissioner regulatory power over health insurance rates, while 58 percent are inclined to support Proposition 46, which would require drug and alcohol testing of doctors and raise the cap on pain-and-suffering damages in medical malpractice cases. With potentially enormous financial stakes for insurance companies, hospitals and trial lawyers, these intiatives have stirred up costly political battles ahead of the November election.
Christopher Cadelago has more in his story from today's paper. Here are the statistical tabulations prepared exclusively for Capitol Alert, and the publicly released results of the poll.
VIDEO: Once divided between the north and south, California politics now have an east-west split, Dan Walters says.
LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION: Apollo Creed and Hellboy want to keep film and television production in California. As an expanded tax credit works its way through the Legislature, actors Carl Weathers and Ron Perlman, along with technical crew members, will showcase the behind-the-scenes work that supports Hollywood jobs, including green screen and sound effects creation, noon on the north lawn of the Capitol.
RISE AGAIN: It's been a bumpy road for 99Rise, the activist group that marched 480 miles to Sacramento seeking to get big money out of politics: After a series of arrests at the Capitol and a partisan squabble over access to the Senate chambers, the Legislature put an advisory measure about unlimited independent campaign spending on the November ballot only to see it booted by the California Supreme Court. Now the group is organizing a new series of protests against what it calls an "outrageous act of judicial activism," noon at the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building on Capitol Mall and at other California Supreme Court offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
PLAY BALL: Last year's legislative softball game provided the rare win for Capitol Republicans over their Democratic peers. They'll try to repeat the victory, 7:05 p.m. at Raley Field, during the partisan showdown benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Sacramento Area. Over 40 lawmakers are slated to play, with State Auditor Elaine Howle, a former softball pro, serving as umpire.
NEW JOB: Congratulations to Kaitlyn MacGregor, the California Republican Party's new communications director, who jumps over from health education and advocacy non-profit HealthCorps.

I found the process relaxing, but didn't manage to get even pointy bits of my clamshells. I'm happy with how it turned out though. I suspect it would be hard to find a method of doing clamshells better than Fiona's. So if you're thinking of doing hand sewn clamshells yourself I'd urge you to check out the tute.
I had some company as I sat and stitched in the form of Little Bebe Turtle one of the things in my swag bag from Chief. Also kind of ironic because I hadn't expected any kind of gift from Chiefs trip as I knew he had very little down time and Ascension is hardly a shopping Mecca. When he mentioned in his last call he hoped he got home to give me my present; Mum and I joked about what he might have found me. From Cyprus he brought me back a wild Flamingo feather. I said to Mum maybe it's a little baby turtle. It's something I'd love to see in the wild.

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth High School boys hockey team didn't qualify for the Division III tournament, but the Clippers made some lasting memories this season and recorded victories over John Stark, Belmont and Con-Val.
Here is a quick look at the team's six senior members:
Nate Doskocil has been playing hockey for 10 years and is a four-year varsity player and captain of this year's team. His physical presence made him one of the hardest-hitting defensemen in Division III. He has also been a member of the Portsmouth High frisbee team, played baseball, rowed crew and snowboarded. Doskocil serves as the student advisor to the high school automotive class and hopes to attend the University of New Hampshire in the fall. Rich Cady is a four-year varsity player and captain. His dedication to the hockey team, along with his hard work and effort, makes him a true captain of the team. He also plays rugby for the Seacoast Pirates, is an honor-roll student and a sergeant in the Portsmouth Police Explorer Program. Cady is attending the University of Connecticut in the fall to major in materials engineering.
Will Evans is a senior captain and a four-year varsity starter. His checking ability and his stamina made him one of the best two-way players in the division. He also plays rugby with Seacoast United. Evans plans to attend college in Florida (either Stetson, Eckerd or Florida Gulf Coast) and major in political science and environmental studies.
Oliver Jenkins returned to the team after taking his junior year off and was one of the leading scorers for the Clippers. He is a three-year varsity player. Jenkins has also played tennis for four years and ran cross country for two at Portsmouth. He plans to attend college in the fall. Shawn Heiman is a senior captain defenseman and a three-year varsity player. He is one of the best offensive defensemen in the division. Heiman's hustle in practice and in games is second to none. He finished his hockey career getting to play with his two brothers, Josh and Jason, this year. He has enlisted in the Marine Corps and will serve our country very well. Will Buntrock is a senior goaltender and transferred from St. Thomas Aquinas after his sophomore year to finish his career as a Clipper. He has done crew at Great Bay Rowing over the past three years and won the Mayors Cup Regatta in Rhode Island. He is an honor-roll student and plans to study biology and engineering in college.

- 2 tablespoons dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 stick (1/4 pound) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chervil
- Combine the tarragon, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer the ingredients over medium-high heat until almost all the vinegar evaporates and 1 tablespoon is left, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.
- In the top of double boiler, or in a stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks and cayenne into the syrup over a very low heat. As soon as the egg yolks have thickened, slowly add the melted butter a bit at a time, whisking continuously. Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning to taste, then whisk in the fresh herbs. Serve immediately over the Chicken Clemenceau, or keep warm, covered, over a pot of simmering water, for a short time.

"We really had no idea how efficient the house could be. Throughout the design process we were impressed with how much thought was put into what all could be done and not just what we wanted. We had way more questions than we should have had, and Ted was always great at answering our questions and adding information, facts and suggestions. And even when we made ourselves way to stressed, and freaked out on him, he interceded with cool quiet calm to get us back on the right path." – Sue & Robert in Oregon

I try to make Black Cats stand out visually with an aesthetic that's both functional and easily identifiable. The people in black turtlenecks call it "design language."
Here's a list some of the more obvious details that help define a Black Cat.
Whether it's the Swinger dropouts or the light and solid Art School dropouts, these are a culmination of years of thought, design, and testing, both born from a desire to improve function, while keeping an eye on style. One of the shared elements is keeping the brake caliper out of the way of your heel, tucked behind the frame as the rider moves forward. Another is the arc shape that keeps the eye moving smoothly from one tube to the next. They all have replaceable hangers to keep your bike rolling, no matter what you throw at it.
Perfect reliability, nothing else.
Sometimes the curves are all function, to make way for a rear wheel, or perhaps to create a bit of comfort. Sometimes, they're there to look cool. Is that ok? I think it's ok. I use butted tubing to give you the ride quality you expect and the strength you demand, along with the weight savings we all want.
Handmade lugs are built to solve problems posed by building a frame with carbon tubes, or a lugged bike using unusual angles, odd tubing diameters, or a unique aesthetic not offered by anything off the shelf.
They are labor intensive, but the results speak for themselves.
Fillet brazing is the most beautiful, reliable, and flexible way to build steel bike frames. The way one tube flows seamlessly into the next creates a visual cohesion unmatched by other construction methods.
It takes considerably more effort, but is well worth it.

McCandless Park, Highway 77 in Wymore
The Great Plains Welsh Heritage Project owns and operates the historic District 81 Pleasant View Schoolhouse, located in McCandless Park in the city of Wymore. It is a fully furnished 1900-era one-room schoolhouse museum. Thomas J. & Elizabeth (Rowlands) Humphreys held the first Welsh school in their home until George U. Jones donated the land in 1878 and School District 81 was established, three years before the town of Wymore was established.
The present schoolhouse was built in 1906 and was originally located about two miles south of Wymore at the north end of the Welsh settlement centered on the Bethel Welsh church. This was the first school to be built by the Welsh community for the education of their children. At first, many children only spoke Welsh. Therefore, it was important that teachers come from the Welsh community, and many teachers were recent graduates of Wymore High School. The school was closed in the fall of 1960 and relocated to McCandless Park in 1967.
In the fall of 2007 a grant to renovate the schoolhouse was received by the City of Wymore from the Margaret and Martha Thomas Foundation. The bell tower was refurbished, the entrance was made handicap accessible with a new ramp, the outside was scraped and painted and a sidewalk was installed from the street to the building.
Twice a year volunteers from the Great Plains Welsh Heritage project offer "A Day at Country School" event at the schoolhouse for local 4th graders. Students experience a day of authentic 1929 lessons and learn a little Welsh. They also learn about the history of country schools and the significance of this particular school in the Welsh settlement. The Pleasant View Schoolhouse is open to visitors Memorial Day weekend, Sam Wymore Days in June and on request.
Help Us "Fill The Pail" And Restore The Schoolhouse
In 2018 and 2019 we are undertaking a major restoration project to return the Pleasant View Schoolhouse back to its original, early-twentieth century appearance. The work will be undertaken by Roy Hanni, a historic preservation specialist with more than 30 years' experience restoring buildings in his native Switzerland and the United States. Hanni's expertise lies in recreating stonework, plaster, paint and wallpaper, and matching them to original materials. In order to fund the restoration project, we invite you to donate to our "Fill The Pail" campaign, inspired by the lunch pails children still carried to the schoolhouse until it closed in the 1960s. Please contact us for more information on how you can help us "Fill The Pail."

Wave-Particle Duality Entanglement Observed
Amongst the properties of matter described by quantum physics, there is the dual nature of each particle that acts simultaneously as a wave and as matter, as well as a deep correlation – even over large distances – between microscopic particle systems, such as photons. Although these two phenomena commonly referred to as "wave-particle duality" and "entanglement" (which Einstein referred to as "spooky action at a distance") have been separately verified various times, they have never been analysed in terms of their mutual relationship.
A new study published on Nature Communications, which was coordinated at the experimental level in the Sapienza Department of Physics Quantum Information Laboratory by Fabio Sciarrino and at the theoretical level by Rosario Franco from the Department of Energy, Information Engineering and Mathematical Models at the University of Palermo, together with researchers from other universities in China and Vietnam, has demonstrated that these two fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics can coexist.
The international group of physicists achieved this result through the experimental implementation of a theoretical scheme employing polarized photons: light particles with a specific oscillating direction.
The first step in the project was to prove that a single photon could manifest itself simultaneously as a wave and as a particle in thes quantum overlapping of these two behaviours. Subsequently, the physicists created and observed two photons whose wave- or particle-like behaviour was determined by the dual behaviour of the other, regardless of the distance between the two photons.
"We have shown that a two-photon entanglement in their dual-wave particle nature is possible," explains Professor Lo Franco. "This phenomenon, in analogy with Einstein's picturesque expression, can thus be referred to as distance-wave duality action and it can be extended to multiple photons thanks to the simplicity of our theoretical scheme and the effectiveness of our experimental apparatus."
The Sapienza team produced a highly stable, modular device that can be replicated for a growing number of particles and completely automatized. "We are now working," Professor Sciarrino points out, "in two new directions. From a conceptual point of view, our aim is to develop the quantifiers ("witnesses") of quantum resources, both theoretically and experimentally; while, from a technological point of view, we are developing an integrated optical-based platform so that we can increase the complexity of the generated states for applications in the fields of cryptography and quantum communications."

Becoming Like Jesus: Practicing the Christian Disciplines
Sunday Mornings
March 5th - April 2nd
Have you ever tried taking on a discipline, during Lent or at another time of year, and found it difficult to continue? The wonderful news is that Jesus is our perfect example of practicing the spiritual disciplines, and we can look to his example to help guide our own. In a world where spirituality is often so lacking, how can we help deepen our own connection to God, to our neighbor, and to all creation?
Jesus says in the Gospel of John that He is the living water and that those who drink of the living water will never again be thirsty. As Christians, we need to dig that well and keep that water replenished again and again. This Lenten season is the perfect time to be refreshed!
Come explore, learn, and practice the Christian disciplines of prayer, fasting, study, and worship, as we seek to deepen our own spiritual wells. We will be meeting on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:15, from March 5th-April 2nd. Join at any time; drop-ins are always welcome!

Team Development
Bryst Soccer Academy offers club teams the opportunity to utilize our professional coaches in a training environment in 2 distinct ways:
1) Team Joins an Existing Bryst Program:
Club team coaches can bring their teams into the Bryst indoor or summer camp programs at a discounted rate.
They can request customized training, or a specific focus outside of the regular planned weekly model, when the majority of the team attends.
Goalkeepers can also be trained by our goalkeeper coaches for their technical/tactical training, and then re-join their team during the scrimmages.
Contact us to arrange your team attendance and discount!
2) Bryst Team Development Program:
Club team coaches can bring a Bryst staff member out to their team training sessions.
This allows the club team coach the opportunity to learn from our highly qualified Bryst coaching staff as their team is being trained and moving to a higher level of play.
The Bryst staff coach can assess the team, and together, the Club coach and Bryst coach can decide on and implement the most advantageous training plan for the team to progress.
Several top club teams have utilized this service and gone on to win Ontario Cup – ie. North Mississauga SC, Brams United SC.
Review the Bryst Team Development Program below and contact us to arrange.
Bryst Team Development Program
The Bryst Team Development Program is designed to assist Youth Club coaches with the training of their players.
The Bryst coaching staff has some of the most highly qualified coaches in the province and the country.
Bryst will consult with the Team Coach, gather information on the needs of the Team, and put a plan of action together. A development program will then be put in place over a 4, 8, 12, or 16 session time period.
The Team Development program will be based on the Bryst 'Player Development Model'. Younger teams will focus more on technical training and older teams will focus more on tactical training.
The Team Coach and all players will receive a Bryst T-shirt.
Youth coaches will receive an information package and can also be mentored in this process for their own professional coaching development.

South Coast Wedding Photographer
Sam Walklate is a that rare mix of talent and humility. The kind that, when you spend time together for the first time, you feel the gentle warmth of a long term friendship. A glance through his portfolio of photographic images, above all reinforces an impression of resounding humanity in Sam's regards for his fellow man and environment. But it's his astute sense of timing and his natural yield to camera that capture this essence with both contemporary composition and an artful beauty.
If Sam's smile and easy going nature don't win you over his photographs will. Either way you'll come to realise with time that the person and the art are one and all. The message is clearly one of life's gifts and the joy that they bring. A message Sam embodies and clarifies profoundly. Celebrate it.

America seems to be a magnet for devastating hurricanes these days.
This year, Harvey came out strong with its horrific toll on parts of Texas and Louisiana. Now Irma, has left destruction in its wake as it plows through the Caribbean and Cuba — and is on path to hit Florida Sunday morning.
It's too early to know if this will be a particularly bad year, as the average number of major hurricanes in the U.S. per decade is roughly six. But averages, important as they are, mean little to those who have to brace for impact.
We know how damaging such natural phenomenon can be — and how costly, at many levels, from emotional loss to rebuilding costs in the billions of dollars. The devastation is not surprising, once you know how much energy is involved.
Consider this: In one day, an average hurricane releases as much energy as half a million atomic bombs, a force to be reckoned with.
When the sun heats an ocean to more than 82 degrees, moist hot air rises up meeting cooler air — creating thunderstorms. Upper-level winds and surface winds come together, forming a circular pattern called a tropical depression. (Why circular? See below.) Then, when the winds reach 74 miles per hour, a hurricane forms, sometimes as wide as 500 miles in diameter, nearly the size of Texas, reaching heights of nine miles. This short National Geographic info-video is a good introduction to hurricanes.
Remarkably, hurricanes spin counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. This differential spinning is due to Earth's rotation. If the Earth didn't rotate, winds of up to 300 miles per hour would howl from the poles to the Equator and back. But Earth's spin, and because the equatorial regions spin a bit faster than the regions at higher and lower latitudes, affects the air currents due to what is known as the Coriolis effect. In the first half of the 19th century, French engineer and mathematician Gustave Gaspard Coriolis proposed it as an explanation as to how the motion of objects is affected when they are on a rotating basis or reference frame (like the spinning Earth or a merry-go-round).
Think of the Earth as a big ball rotating from West to East. (So, if you are looking at it from the top, it will rotate counter-clockwise.) Air currents near the equator get pushed a bit faster than those closer to the poles, with those above the Equator getting pushed to the right and those below it to the left. It is this pushing that causes hurricanes in the North to rotate counter-clockwise and those in the South, clockwise. This also explains why hurricanes don't cross the equator, as the Coriolis effect there is too weak to get the air spinning fast enough.
In any case, let's hope that Irma misses the American mainland — or, at least, that it downgrades even more if it does so.

Want to surprise him or her? What about a camera tattoo. You're the first among your friends, promised. Hesitating? Hey, you'd not be the first after all. Here's a selection of some of the finest camera examples that go under the skin. Maybe you have all the gear. But you sure don't have a camera tattoo. Time to get inked up! Preferably on the forehead. It's the ultimate proof of dedication.
Seems that camera bodies are more popular with women and a Canon user seems more likely to tattoo his or her gear preference… there's even the occasional Leica tattoo. Don't say this ain't no inspirational post. So what's the ultimate photography tattoo you'd choose? Mine's definitely the last one:
And my favorite:

Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire a birth photographer?
Giving birth is a raw and unpredictable experience. It's intimate. It can't be staged. It's about creating families. It's real and it's beautiful.
As your birth photographer, I'm there to capture that beauty so that you can be fully present to your experience and honour the process in your own way. I'm there to record the magical, loving moments between partners, families, and friends seeing each other through labour, the mother's strength as she brings new life into the world, the faces of parents seeing their baby for the first time, the moment you become a family, the first touch, the first latch - to help you discover the amazing beginning of your unique and precious relationship with your newborn.
What kinds of birth do you photograph?
Birth is remarkable and beautiful no matter where it happens and I will work in whichever setting you choose - in a hospital, at home, water birth, at the birth centre. I have photographed families before and after cesarian births. I may be able to photograph your cesarian birth however it would need to be pre-arranged with your caregiver and this is only under certain conditions. My intention is to capture the relationships, moments and spaces in between that make each birth story special, wherever they occur.
What is your role at the birth?
These are your moments, and yours alone. I'm there as a camera-toting fly on the wall, to capture the beauty of your unique birth story exactly as it unfolds. I honour your space and experience, and I don't interfere - no instructions, requests, or interruptions.
I'm completely self-sufficient from the time you call me to the birth - I arrive with everything I need for any situation that might arise, so you don't have to worry about providing anything for me.
I will honour any requests or decisions we've made together in advance, as well as any directions from your medical and support team during the birth.
Why have you chosen this work?
I'm amazed, humbled and fascinated by birth - it can be a transcendent experience, raw and unpredictable, full of strength and love, and I honour it through journalistic style photography. I want to give parents the gift of being completely present to their own experience, then through photographs exploring the moments that happened along the way. My tag line says it all - I want to take care of the photos while you take care of each other.
Why should we choose you?
Birth is an intimate, unpredictable experience, full of emotion and vulnerability, and inviting a photographer to a birth is an act of immense trust.
I'm a mother of two young children - I've been through the experience myself and I know what a gift it is to be completely present for it. I've photographed birth in a wide array of settings and circumstances. I understand how important it is to allow things to unfold organically and I know to expect the unexpected. I am quiet, calm and I will hold space as your birth story unfolds. My intention is to honour your experience through photography.
I specialize in birth photography - it is my passion and the focus of my work. I only use top of the line camera equipment including back-up equipment should anything go awry. I also work with a team of back-up photographers to be sure that your birth is photographed if there is ever a reason that I cannot attend your birth. I have over 25 years of experience capturing images; that includes hours and hours of experience shooting birth in low light and complicated settings such as small spaces, recovery rooms, homes, outdoors and under hospital lights.
I am involved in our local birthing community and remain connected to local resources and other maternity professionals. I attend conferences and work with networks of birth photographers so I can continue to learn and expand my skills. I have been and will continue to be mentored by other women in this industry and in business so I can continue to grow and improve my craft and business.
I am a trained doula and registered with the Ottawa Valley Doulas, I am sensitive and well trained in the birth experience.
I am a member of the Canadian Birth Photographers and the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers, which keeps me current on the birth photography industry as a whole.
How do we decide if this is the right fit?
We'll start with an informal meeting - maybe a chat over a latte - and just get to know each other a bit. You can ask me any questions you have and I'll ask you some standard questions of my own - and we'll see where it goes from there. I work best with folks who appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of the birthing process and want to experience and honour it fully.
How do we make sure this goes well?
We will meet in person at least twice before your birth. I have created an online private information questionnaire so I can know what your dreams are for your birth and around your birth photos. You will know when to contact me and I will know where to meet you long before your 37 week mark. From there, we let go and I am ready when your baby is ready.
The truth is that what we can do is welcome the experience and allow events to unfold as they will. Birth can take us through every emotion - excitement, determination, fear, exhaustion, hope, amazement, surrender, joy, surprise. Birth takes time. There can be a lot of waiting, or non-stop action, or something in between. I'm there to capture the story for you however it unfolds - unscripted, raw and authentic. You can give your full attention to what's happening in the present moment and I will take care of the photos.
This is a really big investment!
Yes it is! Payment plans are available as long as everything is paid by 34 weeks. Gift certificates are also available should a group want to offer birth photography as a gift to an expecting family, for example.
The benefits of investing in birth photography? You will have these images to look back on forever (as long as they are printed). You can go over them yearly on your baby's birthday and tell him his birth story.
You are investing in knowing that I will be there from active labour until your baby arrives. Some births last 6 hours, sometimes they are 24. I will be there. I have a childcare team on call 24/7 so I can be there. I have a bag packed and ready to go in my car every day. I arrive fully prepared with food and so on to be there for the long-haul. My car is full of gas and ready to go when you are. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that ensure you have a birth photographer when your baby is ready to arrive.
You are investing in this experience so you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy, birth and early moments and take care of each other. I will be on call from week 38 and available 24/7 to come to your birth. I will have a back up photographer on hand just in case. My equipment is top of the line, I have back up equipment and I triple store images when I get home. I will process your images with care and deliver them to you in 6-8 weeks.
You take care of each other. I will take care of the photos.
What if there is an emergency? What if things get intense?
Birth is unpredictable and things don't always go the way we hope. I have attended over 50 births now and I understand this. I am also trained as a doula and have a deep respect for birth. Should things go in a direction that feels uncomfortable I will make decisions about images based on conversations and a questionnaire that you would have filled out when you booked. Should you need to transfer from one location to the other - I will follow according to what we discuss when you fill out the questionnaire. The priority is the health and safety of you and your baby and I will always defer to medical professionals.
You are welcome to ask me to leave the room anytime. I will also read the room and make decisions from there. I have put my camera down a few times and I have also had moms ask me to keep shooting. It is your birth.
What if my baby comes early?
This happens too. You can contact me immediately and I will do my best to be there if possible. I will also contact my back up photographer if I can't be there. I can't guarantee I will make it when baby comes sooner than 38 weeks, but I will try! Should I miss your birth in this case I will be there to take images as soon as possible and we will likely follow up with an in home newborn session.
Birth is a private event - not something to be photographed.
This is true for many people. Birth Photography isn't for everyone. I do offer New Here Sessions - this means that I arrive during daylight hours to your place of birth within 48 hours. I do hope to be there as soon as possible. New Here Sessions are a great option for those who still want all the brand new baby details without the labour and delivery. This is a great option for those not wanting the birth but who do want siblings or grand-parents meeting baby for the first time. I am still somewhat on call for these special sessions.
I don't want my photos online. Do I have to have my photos public?
Not at all! Only about 50% of my birth clients allow images to be shared online. These images are for you and your family only. I do appreciate sharing images to continue to build my online portfolio and to show more folks out there what birth photography looks like, but it is not required. There is no extra fee if you want your images private. I am grateful to those families who do allow me to share images for my website and marketing. These photos are for you.
I make a lot of noise during labour. What if I yell a lot? What if I look terrible? What if I cry? What if I look strange or make strange sounds? What if...
I've attended over 100 births and as a professional birth photographer and trained doula - I am comfortable and what you are describing is normal. Often moms feel nervous about having a "stranger" at their birth and this totally makes sense. By the time you even book your calendar spot with Breathe In, we will have already talked on the phone once and met in person for at least an hour. We will be sure it's the right fit for both of us. We will then meet again in person or online at about 34-36 weeks.
I have more questions...
No problem. Please read through this website including the testimonials page and if you still have questions contact me and we can chat. I'm happy to answer questions.

Chris and I were fortunate enough to be able to spend one month in Europe for our honeymoon back in September-October of 2017. We both work corporate 9-5 jobs, so it took a bit of strategizing to be able to get away with it, which I will cover in a separate post.
Instead of a relaxing beach vacation, we were more interested in exploring as much of Europe as possible without making it seem like too much work. Our itinerary went like this: Paris, Beaune, French Riviera (Nice, Eze, Monaco), Florence, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Athens, Santorini. Did we map out our entire itinerary? We did not. The trip was planned in the beginning and the end - leaving the middle with a little improv work to do (which, in hindsight, I would not do again). We flew Icelandair and due to some intel and smart seat selecting through seatguru, we sat first class but only paid for business class. More on that trick later.
Our first stop was Paris on September 26, which ended up lasting a bit longer than we had planned because we were enjoying it so much. I'd been to Paris in the past, but it was a vague memory and I was so young that the things I enjoyed then are much different than the things I like to do now. We stayed in a few different places while we were there, the first being Hotel Providence located in the Marais district and later on an Airbnb close by. It was a great central location and aside from the room being itty bitty, the hotel was beautifully designed and we had a blast with the bartender, who we lovingly called George Pooney. Well, we told him he looked like George Clooney, he called himself George Pooney (the George Clooney of Paris? It's blurry), and we all laughed. Cocktails are fun.
During our time in Paris we did a quick trip to the Louvre because Chris had never been. This photo of Mona Lisa is one of my most interesting captures from Paris. The reflection of everyone holding up their iPhones in the painting is such an oxymoron it's almost painful to look at. My experiences in Europe in 2006 vs. 2017 were so vastly different due to social media and technology in general. It's painstaking in a lot of ways because the sacredness that I held so dear felt a bit lost on me in 2017.
We also strolled through Luxembourg gardens on a beautiful afternoon and took the time to relax from traveling. We quickly grabbed a ham and cheese baguette from a street vendor and sat in the park. Truth be told I've always wanted to eat a ham and cheese sandwich in Luxembourg gardens and live the afternoon Parisian life. I have a vivid memory of this day, sitting in the park behind an older lady and her friend. The way the light hit her and the way they were talking was one of the most peaceful things I've ever witnessed. It was simple and beautiful and made me fall in love with Paris.
Chris had never seen the Eiffel Tower, so we put our tourist pants on and made our way over. While I wasn't that into climbing to the top, Chris being the explorer that he is had a different idea in mind. So we got to it. Me, a little apprehensive. Chris, very eager.
One of our favorite places for dinner was L'Avant Comptoir, which is a tiny tapas place with recipe cards hanging from the ceiling. We bellied up to the bar and ordered as much as possible (we couldn't help it, everything was SO good). All you have to do is point to a card hanging from the ceiling and voila! It appears before you. Chris particularly loved the foie gras burger. In fact, we came back a second time to eat it again. That's 4 foie gras burgers in 24 hours, nbd. The environment was fun, easy and casual - highly recommend when in Paris.
We also traveled to see Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre, which is North of central Paris. Every single thing about this area is charming. Everywhere I looked someone was playing an accordian, people were falling in love, birds were chirping. The area of Montmartre is filled with little shops and cobblestone streets that feels like a nice escape from central Paris. in fact, I purchased one of my favorite souvenirs from a boutique store - an enormous, gorgeous scarf that was difficult to fit in my suitcase but well worth the hassle. Another store I really loved in that area was Lekker, another concept store with some pretty unique items.
Just north of Montmartre, we decided to visit Marché Aux Puces - a flea market to die for. This market stands out in my memory of one of my favorite things in all our travels and also one of my biggest regrets. Chris and I found a blanket there that we adored, but knew it would be impossible to travel around with (especially since it was white). In hindsight I wish I would have purchased it and shipped it back to the US! Ah well, can't have everything.
Another spot we really loved was Merci, a concept store connected to a coffee shop close to our Airbnb. People watching was exceptionally interesting because we happened to be in Paris during fashion week and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the coffee shop guests were famous fashion week artists, models, or designers judging by their style. The store itself has some very cool apparel that we had fun looking at and not buying.
A few other interesting tid bits about our travels to Paris: really loved Berthillon ice cream, Pierre Hermé Macarons (seriously, wow) and we experienced real-deal hookers very close to our Airbnb - they were out of the movies hookers, guys. It was actually jaw dropping to see, I didn't know they made them like that in real life. We spied them on our way to get pizza close by our airbnb, at a place called Rossi's pizza. They were on that street, whatever street that is, workin' in. And I'll leave you with that.
That's Paris! We absolutely loved it and definitely extended our time there by 2 days (that's the beauty of having an open schedule). Our next destination was Beaune, wine country in France.

Free stock photos! (Don't work for free.)
My instinctive reaction to free stock photo website Unsplash (really, really good photos btw) was, "Ew. That feels exploitative." Free photos, but there's a "we're hiring" section. So… somebody's getting paid, right? I clicked around and found that it's a side project for freelance developer platform Crew.* And I found this post about how and why they came to start Unsplash.
Nutshell: it's marketing for them (driving traffic to Crew, which is interesting since there's no direct link) and marketing for the photographers. Yes, that dreaded word: EXPOOOSURE. (You hear the doom-laden intonation, right?) But… in this case it makes sense. Various business lessons here.
1. They don't explain the business model; they tell a story. Unsplash started with Crew giving away photos they'd paid for and didn't need. And then the photographer emailed them that his portfolio was getting a lot of attention. And Crew was getting attention too… Telling the story won me over in a way that explaining the reasoning wouldn't have.
2. Conventional marketing doesn't work. You need to create value.
Jay [Bauer] states that you must create "marketing so useful, people would pay for it."
This doesn't mean you need to charge people for access to your marketing. It means that your marketing should be so good that people would gladly pay for it if they were asked.
In the craft world of course this commonly takes the form of free patterns, or tutorials. It's very far from being a new idea. There is a trap here: it's not clear how great the overlap is between the market for free patterns, and the market for paid patterns. (I imagine this goes at least double for the photographic market.) That is, many people hoard free patterns wherever they find them, but will these people be willing to buy more patterns from you? Are they your right customers? Some of them probably will be – a lot of people will pay, but like free if it's available. (And if you're not well-known, a freebie is a good way to show the quality of your work – so make sure it is up to the standard of your paid patterns.) It's a numbers game. The more people see your free stuff, the greater the chance of reaching paying customers. This is one of the things that makes Knitty a great option for designers with a portfolio of paid patterns. (Plus, of course, Knitty does pay.)
3. Side projects are a familiar addiction for everyone involved in creating stuff. You're making extra stuff anyway, because making is like breathing for you – so put it to work. This is not about doing something for somebody who isn't paying you (but exposure!); it's doing something, then letting people use it, and discover you in the process. You're working for yourself, not them.
Top deadpan points to them for using Jessica Hische's flowchart as an example of side project marketing. (Totally fair. Lots of other great stuff on her site, go check it out.)
Side projects, they point out, work far better than blogging in driving traffic to your site, and can take less time. (Interesting, no? Making something might take a few hours, and a blog post might take just 20 minutes**… but one blog post is useless. You have to put time in constantly to keep your blog active and attract new readers. A tool you've made available is reusable and keeps on working for you.)
4. If you have a bunch of extra stuff you're offering besides your core product, give it a life of its own. Put it on its own domain. This doesn't work for free patterns, but what else are you making? A separate website with its own name (and, we hope, high traffic) is easy to remember, easy to search for and great for SEO.
Conclusions? Well, obviously I'm sold on Unsplash itself. Which is convenient for me, since I really like their photos and would like to use more pretty pictures myself. (I have so many thoughts on making blogs pinnable, etc etc, but that's a subject for a whole other post.) It's also a good reminder that I'd like to submit to Knitty again. And it has given me a rather different way of thinking about some other stuff I'm working on. Maybe you've got something new to chew on too.
Like this post? Sign up to my newsletter to get food for creative thought and updates on my work. Every two weeks. No spam.
* I have a bit of side-eye for that too, actually. They boast about "valuing quality over competing on the lowest price", but far less prominently than they promise "charging 4X less". Analysing that would require engaging with the platform far more fully than I have time for, though. At least until I need a better website…
** Or a lot more. This particular post took a couple of hours all told.

BBC Radio 2 to broadcast singer's live session
Laura Marling's BBC Radio 2 session airs tonight (September 22) at 8pm.
Performing in front of a 100-strong audience with her band, the singer/songwriter played a collection of songs from her new album, 'A Creature I Don't Know' for the show presented by Jo Whiley.
The show will mark the first Radio 2 concert for the twice Mercury Prize-nominated artist.
Joining Laura Marling and Jo Whiley on tonight's show will be Michael Kiwanuka. For more information visit BBC.co.uk.
Before embarking on a North American and Canadian tour Marling visited the BBC and, as well as performing for the Jo Whiley show, she spoke to Front Row about her songwriting influences and the effect of literature on her songs.
She also performed 'Salinas' from the new album. You can listen to the interview and her live solo rendition here.
Laura Marling recently announced a Cathedral tour of the UK to take place in October. Among many others, cities on the tour include Norwich, Guildford and York.

The pedophile priest, 67, was sentenced Wednesday before the Nunavut Court of Justice to 19 years in prison for pedophilia and bestiality. The victims include 12 boys and 10 girls. The canine victim was sexually abused in front of two children.
Dejaeger, while acting as a missionary, coerced the children into sexual acts and then raped or molested them by threatening them with eternal damnation and separation from their families if they told anyone of his atrocities against them.
Dejaeger worked alongside Igloolik Catholic priests from 1978 until 1982. He eventually acquired his Canadian citizenship.
According to Nunatsiaq Online, the Belgian press called him "Pater Pedo." In a separate case, Dejaeger also faces additional charges in Edmonton that pertain to his time spent at Newman Theological College. Malcolm Kempt, the former priest's defense lawyer, said that that additional case is likely to be wrapped up early next year.
The defrocked priest was also convicted over two decades ago for sexually assaulting eight Baker Lake children in Nunavut, but he was only sentenced to five years in prison for those offenses.
Once he was released, more allegations from other victims arose. He rushed to Belgium to hide from facing the additional charges of raping children, but he was arrested in his home country in 2011 on immigration charges and returned to Canada. The defrocked priest remained in custody from that time until the present for his crimes of raping and abusing children and bestiality.
Dejaeger was convicted September 12, 2014 of 31 counts of sexual offenses against children and one count of bestiality for raping a sled dog in the arctic.
Most of the crimes were committed in the hamlet of Igloolik (which at the time was part of the Northwest Territories), where he was one of the local priests from 1978 to 1982. He was found not guilty of 48 other counts.
Given the time that he has already spent behind bars before the sentencing, he only has about 11 years left to spend in prison.
Dejaeger was arrested January 20, 2011 while returning to Canada after 15 years in Belgium. He has been in custody since.
In 1990, the native of Belgium pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual assault against children. He was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released after 18 months in detention. Once released and to complaints about twenty new victims, he fled to Belgium.
Eric Dejaeger: Former Catholic Priest, Eric Dejaeger, Sentenced to 11 Years In Prison for Pedophilia and Bestiality February 4, 2015
"Your selfishness has devastated a generation of young Roman Catholic parishioners in Igloolik," Justice Robert Kilpatrick wrote in his sentencing decision.
"Many lives have been irrevocably altered by your dark legacy. For many victims, the commission of your offence has marked the end of living and the beginning of their survival. You must now atone for the many wrongs that you have inflicted on others. This sentence is only the beginning of that atonement."
Eric Dejaeger, Former Priest, Sentenced To 19 Years For Child Sex Abuse 02/04/2015
The victims, who were children at the time of the abuse, are now in their 40s, 50s and 60s. They and their families filled the Nunavut Court of Justice's largest courtroom this morning.
The sentencing hearing gives them an opportunity to voice what emotional, physical and financial impact the crimes have had on their lives.
Many victims cited ongoing anger issues and depression. One said she did not finish school and attempted suicide because of the sexual abuse she suffered as a girl. Another said he wants the Vatican held responsible. One asked that Dejaeger be put away for a long time, saying he never received or wanted financial compensation, just for it all to be over.
Some cried as they spoke of recurring nightmares and memories they can't shake. Several say they turned to alcohol and drugs to cope with the pain.
Others said because they trusted the man they knew as Father Eric, it has affected their relationship with God and people in authority.
A few of the victims said they struggle with intimacy and trust.

Amsterdam, April 14th 2016 – Parx Plastics, developer of biocompatible antibacterial plastics, has been recognized as a Red Herring Europe 2016 winner for its innovative technology to make plastics antimicrobial. The Parx Plastics' technology is unique as it combines two advantages over existing technologies: the technology makes use of a fully biocompatible element and the technology is not migrating. These two advantages make the technology especially suitable for food packaging for prolonging shelf life and for medical implants to reduce the chances of infections.
Red Herring's Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring's editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Skype, Salesforce, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation, management quality, overall business strategy and market penetration. This assessment was complemented by a review of track records and standings of similar startups in the same verticals. The combination enables Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new startups in Europe.
"This year was rewarding, beyond all expectations" said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "There are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products in Europe. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Parx Plastics shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we're faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Europe. We know that the 2016 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact."

I am sorry to announce that Summit Live UK will not be going ahead on March 27-29. Despite great support from sponsors, partners and speakers, we have just not been able to realise our financial goals set out at the outset. Due to reasons outside of my control, I have had no option but to cancel the event at this stage of planning. This is a good business decision. The seeds of this event were borne out of the social and live video community I was part of and the first Summit Live US event. We wanted to host the UK's first social and live video summit bringing the technology closer to brands, organisations and people, but the original team we began with haven't been able to commit.
I hope that Summit Live UK will become a reality at some stage as we are in the age of personalisation and video is at the heart of it.
I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank those who came along with me on this journey and who invested themselves in it, as did I. I enjoyed evangelising for the video age and I will continue to do so in my work. For now, let's keep conversing.
All ticket holders will receive a full refund and we are working with all of our sponsors as per our contracts.
Yours, in social video, Victoria. On Behalf Of Summit Media Events UK Ltd.

I joined the NaNoWriMo FB because I was shocked I haven't done that already. There's a lot of chatter in there! I don't post my comics though because I don't want spam. If you guys ever post any nanotoons, please tag me so I know you are doing so!
It's Day 2. I am pretty sure I have no words written. I really should do some words today.

Tropicana Atlantic City's Multimedia Light & Sound Show by Moment Factory/
Back on May 20th I got a chance to see the new "Multimedia Light & Sound Show" at the Tropicana Atlantic City. It's done by the great guys at Moment Factory, who did the previous projection mapping show on Boardwalk Hall which I covered back in 2012, and it's pretty cool and well worth a visit. Below are a few photos, I have a few more here.

As January has passed I am recharged and ready to get out and start drawing again.
I started this project two and a half years ago and named it with "NYC" because that's all I set out to do, to draw the NYC subway stations. Little did I know the high rent, tiny apartments and a series of life events would eventually urged me to look for an alternative down the road - I now live in Hoboken New Jersey. I still work in the city though so I commute every day by taking the PATH train. Which brings me to my point - I am going to try to draw the PATH stations. Starting with Hoboken where I live, and also the 33rd Street station because I already drew the 34th Street subway station and I have been promising people I would complete it by adding the PATH portion one day. I think it would be helpful to illustrate how the PATH stations in Manhattan intertwine with the subway stations!

Businesses that cling abjectly to archaic processes are headed for one of two fates: acquisition or extinction.
Traditional technology infrastructures and processes are poorly equipped to cope with the modern business environment. In a competitive marketplace that requires agility, flexibility and scalability, legacy processes such as a six-week procurement cycle for new computer resources are simply unacceptable.
So how can IT leaders quickly transform technology into an enabler of business competitiveness? The answer is by deploying a hyper-converged infrastructure. At Lenovo, we're helping businesses implement hyper-converged infrastructures by converging storage, server and virtualisation resources onto integrated scale-out appliances. Put another way, we're powering companies on the fast track to a private cloud datacentre. This will allow them to enjoy more predictable costs, better risk management and a greater ability to focus on delivering the applications and services that drive success.
Support from infrastructure and datacentre team members
The hyper-converged infrastructure is already securing strong support from infrastructure and datacentre team members who face the day-to-day challenge of maintaining technology environments. The 'why' is simple: a hyper-converged infrastructure allows them to reduce complexity; they can complete maintenance tasks when they need to rather than try to schedule maintenance windows at times that minimise disruption to the business. In other words, a hyper-converged infrastructure enables infrastructure and datacentre team members to get their weekends back!
More seriously, we see the hyper-converged infrastructure quickly gaining the attention of chief information officers and other members of the C-Suite as businesses start to realise its full potential.
No 'rip and replace' required
Importantly, companies can deploy a hyper-converged infrastructure in their existing datacentres without having to rip out and replace their existing infrastructure. Instead, they can operate the two in complementary fashion until the existing datacentre equipment reaches end of life. In addition, the hyper-converged infrastructure's small footprint means that businesses do not have to allocate considerable datacentre real estate, power and cooling resources to its operation, helping keep costs at a minimum.
While it is still relatively early days, some of the companies we have partnered with to deliver the hyper-converged infrastructure include SimpliVity with its OmniStack data virtualisation platform, and Nutanix and DataCore with their state-of-the-art storage products. These businesses all realise that the potential of the hyper-converged infrastructure to deliver the private cloud datacentre to both large enterprises and mid-sized companies is enormous. DataCore cites the example of a hospital that ran its Virtual SAN on a converged architecture to reduce costs, scale and improve the performance of a virtual PBX. In another case, a large restaurant chain with more than 1000 locations opted for a hyper-converged infrastructure to drive down the physical cost and size of its IT environment.
Our hyper-converged infrastructure solutions support a range of use cases, including high-performance database and analytics, disaster recovery and long-term archiving, virtual desktop infrastructure and remote offices. The power of our x86 servers will ensure the hyper-converged infrastructure meets all the requirements of medium to large businesses.
Huge growth forecast
Industry analysts IDC predicted on 30 April that the global hyper-converged systems market would reach USD$807 million in 2015, up 116 percent over 2014. While hyper-converged systems originated in mid-sized environments and virtual desktop infrastructure projects, they are now increasingly hosting general business applications.
So what steps should businesses take to deploy a hyper-converged infrastructure? The key is commitment. If you embrace the potential a hyper-converged infrastructure offers to your business, you will gain enormous benefits including lower costs, improved manageability and, most importantly, a sizeable edge over your competitors.

Is you IKAF getting out of hand? Does he exhibit unusual or unruly behaviors?
Then you've come to the right place. Read on for advice on the care and feeding of your favorite AF.
Dear IKAF Advice Person, I recently bought my IKAF a leather flight jacket, complete with goggles and helmet. Now he says he needs an airplane to go with the outfit. Do I have to buy him one? Karen, (Moving soon to the Poorhouse) Dear Karen, Yes. Dear IKAF Advice Person, My IKAF thinks he's a soldier at the Russian Front. He's wearing a Russian infantry uniform and I think that might be the problem. What do you suggest? Pat (sleeping with one eye open) Dear Pat, First, loosen his helmet. If that doesn't work get him out of that uniform and into something casual and comfortable, it's summer for Pete's sake, he's probably roasting. Dear IKAF Advice Person, I have both an IKAF and NSAF. They seem to have taken over my bedroom and I am forced to sleep on the floor. Also I recently took them with me to Media West and everyone lavished attention on them and completely ignored me. What can I do? Neglected Nicky, Dear Neglected, Make sure their bedroom is kept spotless, no matter how much you have to clean it. As for being ignored, get over yourself. As an AF caretaker your needs are secondary to theirs. Dear IKAF Advice Expert, I have a very sweet and lovable IKAF. He gets along beautifully with my cats and is kind and considerate in every way. What am I doing wrong? Mags Dear Mags, You apparently have one of the rare, mutant IKAFs. Enjoy it.

Amorphous solids include glass, plastic, gels and thin films. An amorphous solid is one of two types of solid, the other type being crystalline. An amorphous solid has no repeated pattern of orientations and positions of its constituent atoms and the bonds between them.
Amorphous solids are possible in most classes of materials, although crystalline solids are more common. An amorphous solid is often formed by cooling a liquid faster than its constituent atoms can arrange themselves into regular patterns. The properties of many amorphous solids are actually somewhat intermediate between solids and liquids. The differences between crystalline solids in atomic arrangement also leads to differences in the way they behave under different conditions.
Crystalline solids have definite melting or evaporation points, regular geometric shapes and form flat surfaces when broken or cut. Amorphous solids melt over a range of temperatures, rather than just one, and lack the other features of crystalline solids. The distinction between amorphous and crystalline is not an absolute one, however, and many materials actually have properties of both. They are just the extremes of a continuum of solid states. At a microscopic scale, it can be almost impossible to tell the difference between an amorphous solid and a crystalline one.

So last night Jason gets ready to go mountain biking after the kids get in bed, but he gashes open the side of his leg. It was really deep (I will spare you the gross details of that). It is obvious that it needs stitches, since it is 1 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch deep. So he decides to stitch them up himself!!!! And he did. He was so proud he took a picture and I told him I would post a picture on the blog! My favorite thing that he said was "It is harder putting stitches in skin than in the mouth. Or maybe it was just because I was doing it on myself." I think it was because he didn't have anything to numb it with!

Jason's Stitches

Our trip
So my pictures aren't in order, but here are some different things that we did before, during, and after my family reunion in Ohio.
(outside of Joseph Smith's family farm)
(outside of Joseph Smith's family farm)
My kids all got pretty wet, but we were flying home the next day and didn't want to deal with wet swim suits. Ashley's shorts were dripping so she ended up just in her diaper.
This is where the first copy of the Book of Mormon was published. We loved this site and my kids liked walking on the same floor that Joseph Smith walked.
This is in the sacred grove. Even though we don't know exactly where, it was a very neat experience for my kids.
This is the American Falls behind us. We LOVED the boat ride.
We only really got good pictures of the American Falls. There was too much water getting on us at Horseshoe Falls--but they were spectacular!
My girls are modeling the tutus Aunt Becky made with the scarfs that Grandma Heath made.
The beach at the house we stayed at. They are swimming with dad and their cousins.
On the steps with cousins at the Johnson Farm. These are the steps Joseph was dragged down when he was tarred and feathered.
We had a great time!!! We were so glad to get to see so many meaningful and fascinating sites. We also enjoyed the chance to be with family for a lot of the trip as well.

It's a girl!!!!
Since I finally told my family when I saw them this past week, I figured I might as well officially announce that we are expecting baby #5 right before Christmas. We found out what we were having right before our big trip (I will post pictures later of our travels), but thought I would let you all know! I am now just over halfway, and have been less sick this pregnancy than any of the others! (Thankfully!) Now when I post pictures of our trip, you won't have to wonder about my belly.

Yesterday, we reported that The Lo-Down's contributor Erin Rodriguez spotted a crossing sign outside the Lower East Side's Marta Valle High School incorrectly spelled "SHCOOL X-NG."
Jennifer Bain and Jeane Macintosh of The New York Post picked up the story about the embarrassing spelling error, which had apparently gone unnoticed by school officials for months.
The Post says Marte Valle officials could not be reached, but a spokesman from the Department of Transportation told the publication that the error was made by a utility provider—not the city—after construction was done on the street over the summer.
Well, rest easy folks. The Lo-Down's Eric Litvak reports that the spelling gaffe has been fixed! The "C" and "H" in "SHCOOL" are now in the correct order and an "I" has been added to "X-NG."

Recommended Suppliers
I get to work with so many talented & creative people. Here are a few suppliers, who I personally recommend & have worked with at previous weddings.
I am fortunate to share my creative passion with my partner Jon, who also works in the wedding industry as a videographer. Jon isn't your average videographer, he specialises in cinematography, so no long winded wedding film... his final product is so moving we often hear from our clients how they've been brought to tears watching his film of their day (happy tears!). Wedding films have come a long way & they makes a beautiful addition to photography.
We have worked together on many weddings & we really enjoy it, we are each others support & creative inspiration. It's very important that any photographer & videographer work well together on the day, as this definitely impacts the end result.
Jon's portfolio can be found here www.jonathanjamesfilms.com
