Summer Time!

With raising a baby I have found there is not much time you want to waste away from your family. I find it hard to continue school, work extra, shop, ect. When I am away I feel a constant want to return. I don't want to miss anything that my child may do.  Its unfortunate but there are things that I must do. Things like working, Working pays the bills and secures the financial future of our family.

I have been blessed recently with a new job. After 11 years as an employee at Cobb Emergency I have departed in a way. I started working with the Enterprise Support Team in the ED.  I now float to all Wellstar emergency departments. I fill in where staffing is most critical. I find my assignment at 05:30 AM and then go to work and work hard until 7pm. The good news is more money. This allowed me to quit my second job. Now I only have to work 3 days a week and can spend more time at home with this little man!

With the newfound time we have had blast so far this summer! We have taken him on a few boat rides




A trip to the GA Aquarium





A trip to Destin, with 2 more planned in the next few months




And of course a few trips to the neighborhood pool!




A few children play dates with my friends I grew up with





Next we have some family friends coming down next month for a visit.

With all this fun we are having it does this to us!



With staying busy the one hobby that I have always enjoyed and continue to pursue is photography. Many moons ago my friend Nick  and I dabbled in it, and made a little money. I was never really impressed with the way my photos turned out.

Last week I reluctantly accepted my first paid gig a very long time!  A coworker's photographer backed out at the last minute. She saw I  post cute pictures of my child every now and asked if I could shoot her engagement photos. Sure I said, but I am bring my wife and kid. ( Goes back to my first paragraph)

My wife is a very creative soul and researched engagement poses and we went to work! I have to say I was impressed with how they came out Maybe my wife and I can pursue this hobby together and fund the children's college fund!







As you can see its been a very busy summer! We look forward to many more memories to be made this summer!
