From Hobby to Business...

Most of you reading this post know my sister-in-law, Jennifer Reynolds. Like many of us these days she is pulled in a zillion different directions.
From wife and sister to employee and mother-of-three, Jennifer has a lot on her plate. For the
past ten years she has enjoyed taking pictures of her kids, family vacations and any other event that warrants photos. All along teaching herself how to become a better photographer and
experimenting with the
camera. I'm happy to say that this year she has decided to start a family business: J.Reynolds Photography. I hope you'll all take a minute to go onto her website and wish her well on this exciting new adventure! I know she appreciates feedback, too so chime in where you see fit.
Chris and I were actually scheming this weekend about ways we could get involved with all of you photography genius. He's decided we'll get Jenn and Adam to partner with Jennifer and he and I can do the sales and marketing...one big happy family!
Actually, I could be the in-home (or office) childcare provider while all of you shoot, sale, market, etc : ) Yes-I like that even better!

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you what is bound to be a great adventure for Jennifer and the family. Much success for J. Reynolds photography and what the future has to hold! I look forward to watching this family business grow into a cash-cow...I'm just kidding : ) I hope she will really enjoy this new chapter in life.

As for the Fraser Family, we're all doing just fine. Chris has completed his second week of training and had loads of homework this weekend. As a Sysco Food Rep he's learning the good, the bad and the really disgusting things to avoid while out to eat. Yesterday morning he proceeded to tell a random woman NOT to eat the corn beef hash in the buffet line in front of him..."it's the worst possible choice for meat". I think she appreciated the information?? I thought it was hilarious!

My parents drove in on Saturday afternoon and will be here through this weekend. The kids are doing great and really enjoying time with "Mammie & Papaw". It's nice to have them at the house and it gives Chris and I a bit of a break and allows us more flexibility to run. Speaking of running, we completed a half-marathon this weekend! WOO HOO! My "long run" was suppose to be 12 miles but in mapping it out, my husband left out a few miles so we ended up running 14 miles on Saturday night. It was a beautiful run from Mt. Vernon all the way into D.C., around the monuments and back home. We learned some valuable lessons on the run such as: 14 miles is a long way, it's dark at night, take water and drink water! You're doing something wrong if you're not learning every day : )

Have a great week and thanks for checking in!
