Our New Business Endeavor - KM Media Studios

Hey everyone! So we have some big news... many of you already know of our dream to start a studio business, well we are in the very beginning stages of this (its called KM Media Studios). We were praying about our financial situation and then all of the sudden stuff started falling into place and now we are getting videography equipment for a fraction of the price its really worth and are going to start doing proffesional wedding and other videography. I already do and love photography, but I don't have a DSLR camera yet so we will have to wait a tiny bit for the wedding photography with a proffesional camera. Anyway, we really want to start working on demo videos so that we can get more business, so tell everyone you know about us. We are doing a promo for an "almost-free videography event" (for the next 3 people that want it) so that we can make demo videos with our footage. You only need to pay for the discounted security deposit of $100 and $15 per DVD you want to purchase (thats about cost). So tell everyone you know about our amazing offer, I promise that we'll do a great job. When someone loves what they do as much as we do it almost always turns out great. :) Our web page for this new business endeavor is www.kmMediaStudios.blogspot.com.

New Camera!!!

Sorry it has been forever since the last time either of us have posted anything to the blog. We have been busier and crazier than ever! I don't know who knows (or knew) that Kim's digital camera crapped out while in the recovery room just after delivering Eeva... Yeah, so I've been documenting our child's life with a cellphone camera for the last 4 months - Until 2 weeks ago, when my mom took us to pick out our early Christmas present... a 12 megapixel Kodak Easyshare (for a killer deal at WalMart!) Thank you so much, Mom! Now everyone that we've sent pictures to, sorry we've been cheating you out of quality pictures... Be prepared for HD quality prints!!

No Sleep

Wow, life is crazy right now. Taking care of a little one can really take it out of someone. Kirk and I got next to no sleep last night because Eeva didn't sleep well. At first we thought she was hungry, but because she ate so much and still had a problem I figured out that even though we had swaddled her, she wasn't warm enough. The swaddling blankets we have are getting a little small and they are pretty light so we have to use two in order to cover her completely, and they are a little thin. So once I knew she was cold at about 5 this morning, I wrapped her up in a fleece Crib Blanket. Thank goodness those are a good size to swaddle her in. She is now sleeping fine, but poor kirk had to get up at 6 and head to work. He goes right to school after work and won't be home until around 10pm. That is such a long work day to have without having sleep the night before. I hope he handles it ok.

On Our Own - Time Together

As most of you know, our little family is now living in married student campus housing. It is so nice to be on our own again. I've been trying a bunch of new recipes in our tiny kitchen, but wish I had more time than I do... Eeva doesn't like to give me too much time without holding her or carrying her around, so I have to pick short and easy recipes if possible, and I love finding freezable recipes to store for those nights when I just don't have time to really cook at all. Kirk has been such a wonderful husband and father, he still brings Eeva to me when she wakes up in the middle of the night whimpering for food, and he does the middle of the night diaper changes when they're needed. He takes such good care of our little angel. We had two of our first romantic evenings together for the first time since the baby was born the last couple nights. We pulled out our nice champaign glasses and had wildberry italian soda floats in them the first night, with a fun "re-get to know you" conversation about our favorite colors. That one ended early because the baby woke up from what ended up just being a nap before bed. The second night was Kirk's idea. He pulled out the glasses with what was left of the italian soda and made homemade real italian pizzas. The recipe didn't even call for cheese, but wow were those little pizzas amazing! She woke up just after we finished an amazing conversation and our wonderful dinner. It was so nice to have some conversation time to just revamp things a little since we don't have much one on one time now that the baby takes up almost all of our time. She is a very high maintenance time consuming little angel, and we love her to bits.
