Dear Blog...

I miss you. I really, really miss you. I just don't have time for you right now, I'm sorry. I've had lots of things going on HERE though so that is a good thing. Please check out my latest stuff if you want.

Busy, Busy...

Sorry, I know I've been MIA for a while :( Life has just been really busy lately but in a good way. I hope to start posting again here soon but in the meantime you can check out a few new posts on my photography business site or on our family blog :)

Fore!

My weekend involved some fun times with family and friends and a little bit of this. I actually really love golf, I just don't go very often... It made me realize how much I miss it. :)

Happy Three Day Weekend...

Hope you can get out of dodge and do something fun. See you soon!

Pretty...

Like any girl I love fresh flowers.

They brighten any room, lighten any mood...

Coral pink roses are my very favorite.

These were waiting for me when I got back from a work trip after missing Mother's Day this year.

And I enjoyed their loveliness all week.

Beautiful Baby Girl...

Sometimes you just keep coming back to the same image.

Like this one of Kendall on Easter.

Love this.

I can honestly say...

I have no idea where the last year has gone.

Today my baby was a baby for the last time.

Tomorrow is her one year birthday.

And I'm in complete and utter disbelief.

A Random Thought...

Streets named after people.

They must have been a good person for a street to be named after them. But it also usually means they're dead. Why can't we name a street after someone because they're great yet still alive?

Oh, the things I think about...

Wishful Thinking...

Wish I was here right now instead of stuck behind my desk at work. A sunny day at the beach and a cocktail... Ahhh, a girl can dream can't she?

Saw this in a coffee shop...

And it really spoke to me.

Life can be a little overwhelming at times.

I'm kind of having one of those weeks (or two).

It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Thank Goodness!

Seen...

At the beach. I liked how the crow looked so tiny on the big, old tree stump. And the way the sky looked behind it.

Houseguest...

Had ourselves a sweet visitor the last two weeks while someone was skiing on Spring Break...

His name is Sam Rabbit.

The Easter Bunny has nothing on this guy :)

Shadows...

Took this picture at the beach last weekend.

It's our first self-portait as a family.

Seeing Kendall's little head between ours makes me smile.

What was two is now three.

I like being a Family.

Bacon...

Cause let's be honest, Everything's better with bacon.
Hope your Sunday's served up just right. :)

Baby Jason...

Lunchbreak...

I work full time and eat leftovers at lunch most days. But sometimes I go out and it's a nice break. It sucks when the server nonchalantly asks if you want something, making you think it's included with your meal, only to find out that it's not. I'm not naming any names or anything :) but the extra $1.30 it cost me for your zesty cheese sauce left me and my burrito feeling slightly annoyed. And it wasn't even good cheese sauce, Boo.

My baby is getting so big...

She used to look so tiny in my arms but now she barely fits. She'll be o-n-e in exactly 30 days, I can't believe it... I'm really trying to savor my time with her right now, she's so sweet and at such a fun age. Love you baby girl...

Engaged...

Afternoon Nap...

Took a little afternoon nap after a full day today...

There were other things I needed to do--Errands to run, emails to send, pics to edit.

But I decided to forget all of it and just enjoy the moment.

There's nothing sweeter than snuggling with your baby.

Holding her close and hearing her soft breath rise and fall as you drift off to sleep.

I'm thankful for moments like these...

The Story of Just Netters...

There once was a girl. Her name was Lanette. When she was little her family lovingly referred to her as "Netters" and "Netterbug." Many people still call her those names today.

A few years back Lanette started a blog. It was a blog about her, her husband and their life together. Lanette named that blog "Rob and Netters." Fast forward a year and Lanette decided she needed a blog all to herself--one for her growing photography hobby, her random pictures and quirky thoughts. And so a new blog was born. She named it "Just Netters" because it was a blog about only Netters and all things Netterbug. For a while "Just Netters" became the temporary home for Lanette's photography business but has since returned to it's original self.

*********************************************************

I hope I'll be using this blog a lot in the future. I missed having this outlet in my life for the last year while it became my photography business site. And honestly it was during a time when I probably needed it most, my life has been full of change this last year and I've had a lot to say! I'm definitely glad to have "Just Netters" back. :)

This time my blog will have a different look. Gone are the long posts of meticulously edited images. Post will now consist of my random thoughts (which can truly be random!) and single static images, maybe perfect, maybe not.

Life is too short! I hope you live it to it's fullest every day, which means enjoying your precious time here on earth with your family and loved ones and not trapped behind a computer for hours on end. Life is all about what's important to you and balance. This is something I've learned this past year.

In the meantime, to view my recent photo shoots please visit my business site at www.lanettemariephotography.com. I've also provided a link on the right hand side of this blog as well. Just click the small black box that says Lanette Marie Photography.

Lanette

Changes...

Get ready for a new look for Lanette Marie Photography... Coming soon, Very, very soon, I promise.

9 Months...

Back after a much needed hiatus in relaxing Mexico. And working on pics of this little ray of sunshine. Who happens to be mine. :) And is growing so fast I can barely stand it.

Feeling Guilty...

Seems like someone is always waiting for me these days. Waiting to be petted... Waiting to play... Waiting to be fed... Waiting for a much loved and much needed walk... Sorry guys! :( Mommy still loves you very much. She's just been really busy with the baby lately. But once the weather warms up we'll get out more, Promise. You were my first babies, I haven't completely forgotten about you. (OK, maybe I did just a little bit..., Boo.) Wanna cookie?
