Well we got through it

Today was one of those days: the baby started to puke at 8:00 am...guess what I got to do all day! Actually it was only until 12 when he decided he was going to eat, thankyouverymuch. So I caved. And it went well until about 6 pm when it all backfired. yeah. got the visual yet? Anywhoo, I did what any gal would do in this situation--I called my mom. And she and my dad came and played back-up while I mopped (twice) and did the laundry (two loads) and took a shower (only one of those.) My dad even took the three-year-old to get some dinner and APUMPKINFLASHLIGHT!! He was stoked.

There is a point to my story, and it goes thusly: I had a lot of time to sit and hold a baby and edit photos. Like all day. all day. But now its 9:42 and my computer is saving them as we speak. Soon to be burned onto various DVD's. I feel so accomplished. Why so many photos to edit, you might ask. A wedding, my friends. A wedding where unexpectedly I was the photographer (its a good thing we brought the camera!) A wedding where my husband was in "the line" but not in "the line" because he was taking pictures by that point. A wedding where it rained outside and the lights were low inside... But man, we made it work. Even with a lens that did NOT have a low enough aperture for the lighting. So we fudged it a little. I tell you that because you'll look closely at these pictures and say, "poor girl. poor, poor girl." Yes, my ISO was set higher than I've ever shot. And yes, 75% of the pictures I took were blurry and/or underexposed. Thank heavens for good editing software.

I've really built this up, haven't I?

So here are some of my favorites--
