Pierced Ears

Hey, guess who got their ears pierced today? Emma Folz did! Yes I'm aware that we might have to share earrings, but I'm OK about that. Here's fashion tip #1: Black goes with about everything, but not with a really colorful top or pant and not with something jumpy. Knock, knock. Who's there?  Owl. Owl who? Whoo are you? Ha,Ha!

Christmas is almost here!

 We are getting very excited for Christmas around here. The kids let out of school today and are ready for their break. We got our tree two weeks ago with Grandma and Papa at our usual tree farm. Almost all the shopping is done and the next week we get to spend with Jill and the kids, playing, baking, and hopefully a little sleeping in.

Justin found a great tree he didn't have to lay on the ground to cut!

Kids and summer

Well summer is in it's last month, or what has tried to be summer for the Seattle area.  Not much of one this year.  We have had a relaxing time of it.  Justin has baseball every weekend,but our weeks were good.  His team had a really great season and a lot of fun.  Sarah has been in a summer musical theater camp two days a week and has really enjoyed it.  They will perform at the fair in a few weeks.  Jeff's job is going well and I am keeping busy with developing my business.  Below are some shots of he kid I took last week in a friends field.  I am also going to be homeschooling Justin this year so it will be an interesting year for us.  Middle school starts in the 6th grade here and we just don't feel the campuses here  are a good enviroment so we will just take this year and see how it goes.  The girls are starting 4th and 1st grade.  

Spring updates!

Okay, I am not great about blogging yet.  We have had a busy year so far.   Justin always keeps us hopping with sports and we have just started the baseball season.  His biggest passion in life.  Sarah is taking guitar lessons and sounds beautiful.  Emma just keeps us all on our toes everyday.  I have been working on my photography and have actively been starting a business with it.  You can check out my website at http://www.jenniferfolzphotography.com/  The design industry for consultants took a dive with the economy so over a year ago I started working with my camera again and remembered how much I love it.   I have had a lot of requests and now have a business that I really enjoy.  I am going to mix my design in with baby nurseries and helping people use their life as art decor in their homes. 

Jeff has been very busy at the bank with his job and we are currently trying to sell our home so things are always hectic.  All our love to you all!

Updates

We are off to a new school year and the kids are settled into their classes. Justin is a 5th grader this year (oh how time flies) and really likes his teacher. Sarah is in 3rd grade with the same teachers as last year (a 2-3split class) and that has been so good for her. And Emma, the big Kindergartener! she is in all day and loves it. Tells me all the rules you have to follow and who is not doing it. Recess and lunch of course are her favorite.

Jeff has been plugging away at his job and I have been very busy working on getting my photography portfolio together to start shooting professionally. I have a website in the works and will let you know when it is up and running. I am going to hopefully mix my design background with photography someday and shoot the interiors of homes, but I love doing people too and that is were I will start. I really am enjoying it and look forward to each new shoot. Well that is it for now, take care everyone.
