Ooh, love the Clara icon! Where do you get the awesome gif images in your journal, do you make them yourself?

Well, sorta on the photography. I only do it on a very part-time basis, mainly just as a way to get my gear to pay for itself and so I can justify buying more. :) The only way to really make a living at it would be if I focused on weddings, and those are just exhausting and repetitive and not a lot of fun. So I do a few weddings per year for the money, but mainly I do families and couples and the occasional high school senior. I try to keep it simple and fun, and so far so good. My main problem is that I know I undercharge, but as my own worst critic I don't think my skills are quite good enough to charge more than I do. Ah well, it works for me!

We're generally proponents of cosleeping because it's been really convenient. Especially for me, since my wife was the one who had to wake up to nurse. :) But bringing that chapter to an end is definitely not easy. We'll get her evicted sooner or later, I'm sure.

That novel does sound good! I'm adding it to my want-to-read list, thanks!
