I'm back ~ Merry Christmas

I finally put something together for a Christmas card of sorts. I've been pretty much off the map and haven't posted anything for quite a while because of some medical problems with my baby Jaden. Nov.15th he stood up (he's learning to walk) and fell and caught himself palms open on both hands on the glass of our gas fireplace. He suffered 3rd degree burns from the tips of his fingers to his wrists. We had to go out of state to a Hospital with a burn center for 3 1/2 weeks. It was very ugly at first, but he is doing much better. We're finally home and trying to get back to life as normal. He had full thickness skin grafts to cover both palms. They took the skin from the goin area on both legs. He's been quite a trooper. Needless to say, I'm totally going through withdrawl from my photography. Today I sat down and did this collage. We tried several times this year to get a family picture, but could never get one where everyone was smiling or even all looking at the camera at the same time. Someone was always crying or something. Anyway, I finally gave up and just did a collage of the kids. Besides I haven't had much time lately to try again. I had bought matching outfits to use for Christmas cards, but with the burns, it really threw a wrench in that. Oh well. I do like how these turned out. I'll have to get my camera out soon. I hope you are all enjoying this holiday season. We are sure definitely counting our blessings!

Happy Holidays!!

I'll try to start posting regularly again. ~Alana
