Jenny Anne Photography: So Much To Do...So Little Time

why, oh WHY do the weekends go so stinking fast? Seriously, someone tell me why? probably because we enjoy the weekends and when you enjoy something you don't notice the time flying by you...hmmm...maybe we should NOT enjoy the weekends so much and then they would slow down? or maybe we should enjoy our work week and they would speed up? i often want the work week to speed up so quickly so i can get to the weekend and enjoy it, but then why do i want life to speed up so fast? if it speeds up, then...well...before you know it, you'll be married with 6 kids all in college and then you'll be wishing for life to slow down instead of speeding up. SO, theretofore, i vote that no matter what day it is...Monday...Wednesday...or a Saturday...life should slow down so we can take every moment in and glorify God in that moment.

ANYWAY, this weekend was quite a blur to me. Brian and I were really tired come Friday night. We ended up going to the gym after work. we were planning on going to a party Friday night around 9pm, but after the gym, we were so wiped out that we ended up crashing at 7:30 and didn't wake up till 9:30 and then made dinner (mac n' cheese, of course!) and watched one of our favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies, Rear Window. To be honest, i was actually really cranky all day friday so it was a good thing I took a nap. I felt like a new person after I did. :)

Saturday came around and we slept in late. Mmm...so glorious! I had a family shoot at 1pm so we headed out the door and made it to Cox Farms where I met the Esmacher's (family pictures below) to do their shoot. Cox Farms...oh goodness. I have never been or seen a place like this. There were pumpkins coming out of every angle possible. Little munchinkins running around every where, every apple known to mankind could be pick up for your tasting, big country bands playing on the stage, and hay...everywhere. :) if I were a little kid, I would've had a hay-day (ha!pun.) there. :)

This is Luke.

He said hi to the turkey's.

Picked out his own apple.

Got a fun kiss from mom and dad...still eating his apple.

Looked for MORE apples.

Crawled in a box. (he has big blue eyes!)

Met some pigs!

Got a balloon.

took a picture with mom and dad next to a sweeeeet car.

and held his pumpkin tight.

He had a pretty good day at the pumpkin patch with mom and dad.

After the my family shoot, Brian and I met our friends at a Virginia Winery to celebrate Kristine's birthday. Happy Birthday!! The winery was so gorgeous and I lusted to take wedding pictures there someday. The wine wasn't too shabby either. I'm not a big wine drinker, but I found one I actually liked! Minus the pesky bee's that wanted to share in the celebration, it was a super splendid afternoon with friends.

This is Kristine. It's her birthday.

This was our little picnic at the winery complete with the best cheese (brie), chocolate, and crackers EVER!

Seriously, can't you picture just WAY awesome wedding photos here..

(Engaged couple, let's do an engagement session here! Call me!)

She liked her cake.

and made a wish!

and blew out the candles.

After the winery, Brian and I decided to stop in the cute little town of Clifton. Oh man, the drive around Clifton was glorious! The houses were magnificent! I drooled. alot. Brian drooled. alot. I want to go to there. We saw a fun little consignment store and wanted to drop in on our way back. Unfortunately, they were shutting down when we were going in. Instead, we opted to take pictures on a railroad. Railroad + excellent light from the sun = sweet pictures! I couldn't resist.

This is Brian. He is my husband.
