I have been quite the slacker about photographing the girls and blogging during the past few weeks.  I’ve had a lot of client logos and websites eating up my time, and have also been in super preservation mode.  Our rental house has a very prolific apple tree which lead me to rediscover my enthusiasm for canning, so I have been busy making juice, jam, jelly, sauces, and halved canned fruit.  It is pretty great.  I’ll admit that between work stuff, preserving, and my tendency to over-schedule myself, I haven’t felt much like blogging.  Also, I have been trying a little better this week to stick to my 30 before 30 goal of going to bed at a reasonable hour, which doesn’t help when days are overbooked.

Today, though, I remembered to grab my camera as I headed out the door to pick Nora up from school, so I had it handy for a few fall pictures as we wandered around downtown Fort Collins.  We had the slight mission of scoping out potential venues for a photo shoot I am doing with a local photographer next week to get some photos for my work website, but beyond poking our heads in a few coffee shops every now and then, all we had on our agenda for an hour and a half was exploring town.  It was so much fun, and the perfect ending to a rather hectic week.  I’d like to promise I’ll be better about blogging next week, but I’m honestly not sure so I’m not going to promise a thing and maybe y’all will be pleasantly surprised.

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.

Well this is something I never thought I would see... a second real snow in the same winter. This one is light and powdery and is promising to hang around for most of the week thanks to freezing temperatures. There are no plows or salt/sand trucks down here so we're all locked in and enjoying an old fashioned snow day.

I figured I had to bundle Vivienne up and take her picture in the snow just so I can prove to her that once we had a real winter in Texas.

Zara made a #texassnowman - tiny, full of grass and leaves, but a legit snowman. 😂 We have the fastest snowflakes I've ever seen falling down here right now and could get up to 4 inches! The girls are over the moon.
