Hopefully his last (insert a happy dance here) So I have been single moming it for the last few weeks.  Let me just say I am not really sure how all you single ladies with babes do it!! You are rock stars, I am exhausted!!!  In the mist of no Daddy around both kiddos and I came down with strep and bronchitis. That meant no sleep for this mama , but I am happy to report everyone is healthy and happy here in the Craft household and my blogging should resume now.  There is so many exciting things going on at Kate craft photography right now…..

What does a photo mean to you? To me it is a moment in time, a memory, a glimpse into someones life. A single image can stir up so much emotion. That is just that happened to me this morning. My mother scanned and loaded several old photos to face book. Upon seeing them I was immediately over joyed and on the verge of tears all at once. All the memories of my childhood came flooding back, along with the sad feeling of loos. My children will never know my Grandparents nor did my Grandparents ever get to see me and my sisters as adults; with focus and goals, I know they would be so proud. I lost both my Grandparents six long years ago. I still miss them more then words can explain. They were both driving forces in my life. My Grandpa was always willing to help with homework or make my best friend and I a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He taught me the value of a dollar and how to punch, should I ever need to defend myself. I will never forget the tree house complete with a ramp for Tillie (my beloved golden retriever) that he helped my sister and I build. Grandma was always willing to listen and offer a kind word of advise. She was an amazing cook. Much to my husband dismay, he just can not get her spaghetti and meatballs right. Because of her a fried egg sandwich still makes the world a little less scary to me. For the first years of my life Grandma and Grandpa were the best neighbors a girl could have. I can not even remember how many time I “ran away” from home. Little did I know that as I was hiking across the field that separated our house my mom was calling ahead to let Grandma know I would be there soon. Sometime around 4th grade they moved to a house next door to my elementary school. That is when my addiction to the soap opera All My Children started. Grandma set up her VCR to record it everyday and she would watch when Grandpa took his afternoon nap. When that last school bell rang I was out the back door down the ally and in Grandmas kitchen as fast as my legs would get me there. She would make me a fried egg sandwich as Grandpa handed me a soda. He would go settle on the couch in the front porch as Grandma and I got cozy in the living room to watch our beloved soap. I still 25 years later watch that dang soap opera. The day they announced it’s cancellation I immediately thought of my grandma and all the fond memories I have of watching it with her. I could go on and on forever about all the emotions and memories that seven pictures brought back, but I will get to the point and show you the pictures. So I want to know what is a picture worth to you?
