Thank you!

Thank you so much to all of you who have emailed us lately and said you are praying for us. That is so so so encouraging. We know God will provide, though it is a little scarry to face the unknown for a while. So thank you again from the Gregersen Family.

Change is in the Air

Hi Everyone
We have an announcement. Jayme has decided to resign from his job as of this coming Friday. It was a difficult decision to make, but now that he has made I can tell he is quite relieved and ready to move on with life, and look for a new job. We are unsure what that new job may be. However, we are confident God will direct our path. We are tapping into a deeper faith these days, and will wait for God's direction. I am so blessed to have a physical therapy career that is so flexible. I will be working full time for the next couple weeks....hopefully just a couple weeks. Wedding season is coming, and I don't want to be working this much and try to photograph weddings on weekends, that makes me cringe thinking about all that work! Jayme will be getting some much needed "daddy and norah time" these next few weeks while I am working full time. He has really missed his little girl. I already have a "to do" list one year old for him to accomplish while he has "time off". =) We haven't seen each other that much this past year, and he has had little time for house projects this year...so I am actually excited to see some things get accomplished around here again.
So we ask for prayer as we look for a new job for Jayme. We both have a peace about this decision, and will keep you all posted on any news.
love you all,
melissa =)

Big news!!

Lately, Norah when she has gone "poopy" will bring me her diapers and wipes...they girl doesn't like a dirty diaper at all...she doesn't like being "yucky". So I knew we were getting close to the potty training phase. Well two days ago she was getting ready for a bath, and came out and told me "potty". She sits on her little potty chair alot ...puts her doll on the potty, puts "Snuggles" the bear on the potty..but two days ago SHE WENT POTTY! Big news in the Gregersen household. Maybe it was a fluke thing and won't happen again for weeks. But it is a milestone, and it means my baby is growing up! When I tell people that...I hear "time for another one"...and I just smile and say..."not yet" I am still trying to figure this one out. =)

Hope you all had as exciting of a week as we did! Don't forget to celebrate the little things in life...like being able to go potty in the appropiate place! =)

i love my job!

I photographed little baby Kylie this past weekend. Isn't she so cute!! She was probably the easiest baby I have had yet. That makes my job a little easier. =) I just love photographing babies...they are naturally photogenic. I have another photo shoot on Wed. with two sisters...one is 2yrs. old and the younger one is 16 months...that one might require some extra energy. =)

I am still booking appointments for children and families this summer...weekends are getting scarce. But if anyone is interested. Please give me a call or check out my website! Thanks!

fun times

Norah is having a good weekend....these pictures were actually taken last week...but we hope everyone is having a great weekend, and enjoying this beautiful weather. We have had a busy Saturday. We were at church all morning for an Eschatology Seminar...so good! (The study of End Times Seminar). Then Jayme and I and some other friends from church went to the homeless shelter downtown and played BINGO with the homeless. It was fun to see them all having a good time. You then thank God for allowing you to have a comfortable home to go to each night. Then I had a photo shoot with a beautiful baby girl...her name is Kylie. I will be working on her pictures tonight and try to put some on here later. So hope you all had a great Saturday...we did! =)

Baby Gavin

This is an update about the little baby...Gavin...who I asked for prayer a couple months ago. He had surgery last week, and it went very well. His mom said he is home now and recovering amazingly well. I was so happy to hear that...I can't imagine feeling so helpless like that knowing your 8 week old baby is having major heart surgery. I am hoping to do his 3 month old pictures in the near future, and I will try to post some of them on here, so you all can see how well he is doing. Thank you to those who have prayed and asked about him. Melissa

just for you Grandma Opal

Hi Grandma...this blog posting is just for you. =) I know you didn't want your picture taken, but thank you for doing it. Norah and I will treasure these pictures of you two. Though they are kind of blurry and norah was looking all over the place...they show the deep love you have for Norah. We love you too!!! We will try to come visit again soon. I know your birthday is coming up soon....so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Love, melissa

another scrapbook page

I thought I would put this page on here to show how cute norah is...again. =) I learned how to make circles through photoshop...so I am excited to keep practicing them.

First time doing video

I have been saving my photography money for a new video camera... another techy toy for me. =) Well....I saved enough and was able to get it last week. So here is the first video clip I have taken and I am experimenting with it to see if I am able to upload to the blog. Hope this works. Norah is talking...with our help. =) Her daddy has been trying to teach her how to say "Go Cubbies"....some days she is a cubs fan...somedays she is not. =) She is really starting to say alot more words...its so fun.

We have a fun weekend planned...tomorrow my dad, norah and I are going to visit Grandma Opal and Aunt Shirley for the day. We will get some pictures and post them on here when we get back. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Our Dance Stars!

Rick and Kelly were so fun to watch last week.

They did a great job. Norah LOVED all the music, she was dancing in the bleachers. It was really warm in there and she was sweating quite a bit, but it didn't stop her from dancing. She loved it! Congrats Rick and Kel!

Brian and Kimberly

Here are some pics from the most recent wedding I did. It was a fun one to do. I don't have any weddings in April, but come May..."it starts"...I have wedding after wedding. Pray for the Gregersen Family...if life wasn't stressful enough for us, this summer will definetly make sure it is! =)

tried again...

I tried again to get Norah's picture with her special dress on. She made it challenging...again. Good thing she is cute. =) We had a good day today at home...playing outside and enjoying the beautiful Spring weather. Norah has rediscovered he sand box, and loves it. Though she likes to dump the sand out. We have high hopes for the summer, it just feels so good to be able to be outside again.
