We’re BAAACCCKKKK!

Um, hello? 

(crickets)

That was very weird. For about 24 long, strangely-lonely hours, the Gigi blog CRASHED. Yes, crashed. Or something like that. I don’t know what happened, but with the help of some great friends – Jason and Chris –  and some help from my webhosters, well, it’s back. I don’t know what exactly happened, but we’re back and I’m smiling!!!

Just for fun – to applaud cyber space’s hostage release of my blog, anyone who comments on the blog today will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from Gigi Photography. So comment away. Anywhere. Any post. Doesn’t matter. Just let drop in and say hi!

I have a TON of amazing sessions that will getting some sneak peeks SOON – I promise – but first, can I just share these fun photos my Lacey took of Hubalicious and I last night? We were waiting outside in the backyard, waiting for my client, and I handed Lacey the camera and she took these for me….

Ahhh, the man of my life. The man of my dreams. 

Well, the dreams I have when he’s not snoring away and snorting all night long. Seriously. Why didn’t someone warn me about men that snore? It’s a lifelong curse, I tell ya. But he makes up for it by getting me ice cream at night and snacks and chips and rubbing my feet (on a particularly lucky day) and by doing the grocery shopping at midnight after he’s worked a long day at the funeral home

Oh gosh. I better stop this. It’s making me sound lazy and piggish.
Trust me, I do work hard. 😉 He just works hard right alongside of me.  And I do eat vegetables. Honest.

 … but he has less energy that I do, for sure. Maybe because he’s 9 years older than me.  I tease him and say he’s closer to my dad’s age than mine … but somehow, he manages to keep up with me and the three Ls …

We met and married in nine months. Met in January on a blind-ish date. Engaged in April. Married in September. Crazy. Then we went to Africa, came back and started having babies. It’s been a non-stop crazy adventure ever since ….  and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Monica WOW….these pictures are amazing that Lacey took, doesn’t hurt that she has stunning projects to photograph!!

August 26, 2009 - 5:53 pm

Debbie VanWyck It’s funny how when you know, you just know. I knew that I would marry Rob within 2-3 months of our first “blind date” too. Great shots of the two of you. You’re lucky that you have another photographer in the family so that it doesn’t always look like a family “less” you because you are behind the camera all the time. I am thinking that you look a bit like Phoebe on Friends with your hair like this.

August 26, 2009 - 5:27 pm

Rebecca McLaren Beautiful pictures you can just feel the love coming through the photos. Lacey should do a kids photo seesion one time.

August 26, 2009 - 5:27 pm

Maredyth Oh my gosh! Could you guys be any sweeter? xox

August 26, 2009 - 5:20 pm

Heather Oh my gosh.. those are gorgeous shots of the two of you. Lacey is an up and coming star !!!

August 26, 2009 - 4:56 pm

Tamara Perreira You eat vegetables?!? Really?!? All joking aside, so glad you are back up and running. And you best get Lacey to sign a contract soon, before someone else snatches her as an assistant:)

August 26, 2009 - 4:48 pm

Amanda Lacey is doing a great job with photos!! 🙂

August 26, 2009 - 4:32 pm

Carry So glad to you’re back! Stunning photos of you and your hubby and how appropriate that your child took the photos that so clearly illustrate the love you have for each other. Who better to know how much you love each other right! Beautiful!

August 26, 2009 - 1:43 pm

Sherri Smith Yay, glad you didn’t lose anything. Love your hair and make-up that way! Kudos to Lacey for those fab shots.

August 26, 2009 - 1:42 pm

Elizabeth Really? only 24 hours? Is that all? It seemed like a lifetime ; )

Lacey did an amazing job. How old is she? I’m amazed by her talent. Clearly she gets it from her mama.

August 26, 2009 - 1:42 pm

Heather does it not scare you that your little girl has THAT much pure raw talent at such a young age???? you cannot possibly teach that kind of talent!!! she has a really good eye! also… where were you in Africa?? you should come back.. i have some realllllly snazzy things over here that need their pictures taken!! :)(including tendai.. did you see my rather poor attempt at a photo shoot with her? i posted some pics on facebook)

August 26, 2009 - 1:41 pm

Stephanie McGhee I feel SOOO special! I got to see these picture before they were posted! 🙂 Lacey did such a GREAT job! She is turning out to be just like her Momma! 🙂 Gillian you are so beautiful (inside & out)! I love your Hair & Makeup! 🙂 Abby is SOOO lucky to have you! 🙂
