I GOT A FINALIST!

I'm such a bad, bad blogger. I've been so busy since we got back from vacation.... I'm behind on my proofing, trying to keep up with Wendy's class, trying to get this house in decent order, CHASING three kids.... wow! I've not had a lot of sleep the past week, but I can't really blame that on anyone but myself ;) Well, I guess I could, but I won't. HA!

I did get the absolutely, positively fantastic news that I got a finalist at Better Photo! I was SOOOOOOOO proud of this - it was the first time that I had ever entered a contest. And considering the FREAKING AWESOME competition, I felt really really honored to have the judges pick this photo as a finalist. It's Madison - isn't she a knockout?! This was taken waaaay back in October, when I got my first decent lens, but it's still one of my favorites.

Here's the link. My finalist! Look, a little silver badge. How cool is THAT? I feel like such a bragger. HA! I SOOOOOOOOOO am. And I don't care. ;)

Here's a couple more from vacation.
