Now I don’t hate snow, I just don’t love it.  Today we awoke to our second snow of the season, first of 2010.  And of course, since public school are on a delay, that means preschool is canceled for my girls.  That always seems to happen on the days I have plans….oh well!  And although this snow is less in overall volume than the last one, it’s definitely more slippery!  Please be careful!

This photo is one I quickly snapped this morning (before the sun made the snow a hazard for my eyes) of my Japanese Holly bush.  My grandparents bought me this plant (along with others) for my birthday a few years ago.  And my neighbor Laura will tell you that I’m always butchering the poor thing!  I just don’t want it to get unruly & uneven….which is just how I make it look after it’s “haircut.”  This was the first year I actually saw a berry on it & I was so excited!  I hope this poor little berry can withstand the cold – good luck little guy!

On a strange side note, I was watching my CNN app on my phone, and did you know that these extreme & unusual cold spells that are reaching Florida are causing Iguanas to go in to a comatose state while in trees?  Yes-huh!  Go check it out! They are sleeping in trees, then the temperatures drop & they kinda just freeze & fall out of their trees!  It’s so odd!

Today’s photos I’m looking at:  Cuppa Photography.  I just met Cindy last night at the Spread the Love tour in DC & I’m already blog stalking her!  I love her business name – “Cuppa.”  Apparently she’s a coffee junkie & on her site she asks you to grab a “cuppa” something warm & snuggle in to view her FABULOUS work!  Wow!  She is stunningly good, & such a sweet gal (or so I gathered in the 5 hours I sat next to her).  Thanks for making me feel like I wasn’t a total loner yesterday, Cindy!

Almost exactly 2 weeks ago the uber talented Beverly & myself drove up to Lancaster, PA to photograph the wedding of Dan & Cindy.   You may remember them as winning my award for the most lovey dovey looks, the most enthusiasm, etc.  Well, they got married!  And the enthusiasm & energy didn’t stop at their engagement session.  It went all the way through their wedding & reception.  We had some rain (which I heard is good luck on your wedding day!), but we made the most of it.  Congratulations Dan & Cindy on your new beginning together!

They were both told that they never smiled in photographs.  They could have fooled me!  Dan & Cindy could not STOP smiling almost our entire session.  And I even had to bring out my “kindergarten teacher” voice to get Dan to stop gazing at his future bride & give the camera a few glances.  These two kids could not have been more in love than what I witnessed this past Saturday.

Now I think all my couples are the greatest, and they are all madly in love with one another.  But I have to give Dan & Cindy the award for the most lovey dovey looks, most hands holding, most kisses, most spontaneous acts, and most energy!

Dan & Cindy I am honored to finally give you some photos of you both together.  And I cannot wait for all the surprises and acts of spontaneity that will no doubt occur during your wedding!  Enjoy your preview…
