I Wish You Many More

Today is John's birthday!!! We have had good times and lots of fun around our house last week and over the weekend. For those of you who don't know John, he is an awesome husband and father. I know that sounds cliche, but if you could hear me say it - I would shout it from the mountain tops. Peyton and I wouldn't know what to do without him; we both love him so much and know we are so blessed to have him! John has been a tremendous support to me as a husband and a friend since I started Harper Photography three years ago. He is my behind-the-scenes right & left-hand man. He is the one who builds displays, paints those same displays, fixes broken toys that I use for props, loads and unloads, mends easels, helps me dream, keeps my checklist checked before I head out the door to meet a client, the list never ends. He really is the very BEST. And I will readily admit that I couldn't do it without him. I tell him all the time I hope he lives to be 100. Happy Birthday, Sweetheart - I love you! And I wish you many, many, many more wonderful birthdays.

Speaking of a special day - it is also my parents' 35th wedding anniversary today! Isn't that such a coincidence that my husband's birthday and parents' anniversary is on the same day? Congratulations on 35 years, 4 kids, 1 grandson and a granddaughter expected in December, plus a step-grandson, too! Happy Anniversary to Mom and Dad - We love ya'll!!! Thank you so much for all you are to ALL of us...

One more week of Fall Family sessions...and what a bummer for this week's appointments - rain is sadly forecasted...we are hoping for an hour of no rain every afternoon to get everyone finished. Is that wishful thinking or what with Wednesday being a 70% chance? Every year we cram as many sessions we can into a couple of tight weeks; the leaves are already starting to disappear from the tops of the trees now...winter will soon be here. Especially after 33 degree weather this morning. Thank goodness the sun is shining brightly so maybe it will warm us up today!

c-ya!
