atlanta & random.

this has been an incredibly busy time for me.
i'm not complaining, not by a long stretch, but it's been a lil difficult because of all the traveling. poor bryan missed his babe soo much. luckily i had my last wedding of the year this past saturday. now it's time to do post-processing & holiday portrait sessions... YEAH!!!!

so, finn & i got back from new york on a monday only to leave thursday for atlanta. it was a relaxing trip & a beautiful wedding. i didn't take many personal pictures... because we mainly chilled out at the house, but here's "pop" holding finn. his doctor had deemed it okay for him to hold finn now & he barely put him down :) they were very sweet together.
& erin loved on him too, now that she was less distracted :)
on my drive home from the wedding i chit chatted with sarah. bryan beeped in, but i ignored him cause we were having a good discussion. i get to barb & don's & he calls again. but, i'm getting ready to feed finn his 11pm feeding so he says i can call him back. maybe an hour later he calls again. i think good lord he must miss me -he never tries this hard to get ahold of me. so i answer. we need to talk he says. our house had been broken into the night before. the wonderful man that he is... he kept it to himself alllllll day so i wouldn't have to have it on my mind while i was shooting the wedding.

saturday night around 8pm he'd loaded up his bike & drove to a party a frisbee friend was throwing (the bike was in case he wanted to come home but wasn't able to drive). he'd planned on staying the night because it was an adult beverage party & he had no woman or baby to come home to. so he was going to live it up rightfully so. when he came home the next morning around 8am this is what he found.

they'd broken our bedroom window... gone through my drawers & taken all the jewelry, cash & other miscellaneous items. the room actually looked worse than this but he needed to clean the glass up & give the landlord some space to board the window.

they didn't touch finn's room. but, they had a field day in my office.

poor bryan suffered some verbal abuse from me on top of it! i'd gotten a phone call during the wedding, that luckily i was able to take because i was pumping during a break. "we've got your dog". i ask if they have both of them & it's just kylie. so i call bryan so he can go get her. he answers and says:
i was just on my way back from the pound trying to find her.
did skye get out to?
no.
bryan, how did they get out... i can't be dealing with this right now!
i must not have closed the gate all the way when i took the trash out this morning.
you KNOW you have to be careful with that...

damn. i felt horrible. he'd prepared the story just in case someone had found her & called me. they had apparently kicked kylie out of the house, meanwhile skye was in her cage & safe. we are so fortunate to have found her. she had some blood on her, so we don't know what that came from. i kinda hope she scared the living day lights out of them so they gave her a little wonk. she was fine. bryan bathed her and couldn't find the cut.

bryan & i joke that we hadn't grown-up yet & made any adult purchases. everything we own is from college. we haven't invested in furniture other than our new couch. dvd players, cd players, televisions were all from college, possibly before.

so take that robbers- you stinkers... go ahead & take our garbage.

luckily we had renters insurance & even luckier for us they didn't take anything tooooo sentimental. they stole an external hard drive that had some personal pictures from the first year we lived here & the film camera i learned to take pictures on. everything else can be replaced. though, we've pretty much decided not to replace any of the material things- we haven't really missed them yet.

to bring us back to a happier note here's some cute finn-ness.

bryan needed new glasses. he'd finally gotten his eyes checked out & his prescription had changed slightly, to my surprise. the lady brought us some cute kid glasses & finn was adorable in them.

hmm......... mc=3 squared. or something.

aren't bryan's new glasses stylish???

good to know he won't mind em if he needs em!

some more cute randomness. my friend kim, opened a new studio! so we attended the open house. most of my photog friends hadn't met finn yet, so it was a very fun party.

cristi, one of the sweetest peoples you'll ever know :) took these next few of finn & me.



kim had a photo booth set-up & everyone took turns doing fun poses. this is my facebook profile pic, but for those of you not on facebook: my family! i emailed kim asking for a larger file, but i haven't received it yet. will update this when i get it.
we have a very busy weekend coming up. tom our good friends ted & sarah are coming in to town. our ultimate league finals are on saturday. (bryan & i are captaining together & our team rocks. we finished 1st in the regular season & are ready to take the title! we hope :) then, i'm documenting ironman on sunday & a family portrait session. should be fun!

have a great weekend!
