MIA and then some! - Hello Olivia Photography

If a website and blog had dust, mine would be about two inches thick with it right now.

What a disaster!

In all this craziness of covid, work from home and driving my kids all over the world - photography has taken a massive back seat.

More than massive. It was forgotten. COMPLETELY!

Now that the proverbial dust has (somewhat) settled, I got the itch to shoot again, document again, and blog again. Just for me.

So what’s been going on in the last year and a half? So much and nothing at all.

Miss Olivia is now 10, a 5th grader in middle school and the size of an adult woman. The last six months have been intense. She had a massive growth spurt and literally nothing fits - she grows out of clothes AND SHOES in months. She still loves to dance, loves her Roblox and is still as serious as ever…. with a wicked sarcastic side (that she obvs gets from her mama).

Amelia. What a whirlwind she is. I don’t think a tornado could do as much damage as she can. Just writing this now, she pulled all the sheets off her bed, launched all her toys off her shelf and somehow found a pencil (that we keep hidden to protect the walls) and broke it in half before giving it to me.

She’ll be three in a month and told the terrible twos to “hold my beer”. Other than her destructive tendencies, she is super loving and smart. She is a mimic and repeats everything (which is horrible) and loves watching Blippi, Peppa and telling Alexa to play her favorite songs.

In the midst of all the covid craziness, we got some new neighbors that just happened to be the same ages as my girls…. and also coincidently happen to be their cousins! Having them literally live across the street is just about the best thing ever.

Now that we are living this new modified normal, we’re getting back into the usual routines and I’m hopeful that I can get back on track with daily documenting, occasional blog posts (because we know that occasional is the best it’s going to be) and preserving the memories and moments of my little crew.
