I

It was a tropical Cuban inspired theme for Matt Harper’s first birthday party.  The glass house of Montebello was tastefully decorated with palm leaves and real fruits of pineapples and papayas. I love how the party went. The games were just right! My favorite part during birthday parties is the bubble show. It reminds me so much of Fin. Bubbles make him happy!

July went by quickly. I hope August won’t go by with a blur. It would be nice to extend days a while longer. Next month we enter September. I’m sure it’ll be Christmas time once again. It’s scary how time passes by so quickly. It’s like we do things now or we don’t because we won’t ever get the chance anymore.

As I write this, I’m ready to hand over Matt’s birthday photos. It takes about two weeks for me to edit and print. Culling photos take time and I don’t want to do things hurriedly. I look at each photo one by one. Rate each. Throw away doubles and over/underexposed. It’s a process that I enjoy while watching movies online. Netflix and iFlix have kept me company during long hours of editing.
