Welcome

Welcome to Dana Peterson Photography. It has been a fantastic year! I have a few more sessions to finish in December and then 2012 will be history. THANK YOU to such wonderful clients! I wish you a Merry Christmas. I look forward to more sessions in 2013. It will be here before we know it! On this site you will find images of many of my photo sessions, a bit from my own life and lots and lots of my own kids.
For more photos and sessions feel free to check my Facebook Page.

A picture a day

I am trying to take just a couple pictures a day. So here are todays efforts.

Bakugan

Let me introduce you to Bakugan....and I hope your boys never discover it. It is kind of like Pokemon combined with a transformer of somekind. It is actually kind of cool, but it is an obsession at our house and it is getting a little old.

These are the "balls" as I call them before they transform. Of course there are cards that go along with it too.

When they touch metal, they transform to this:

And here is the happiness that comes with it.

Flower Field

I am not actually sure if these are weeds or if they were planted intentionally. I am guessing weeds. Either way, it is a beatiful thing to see a whole field of purple.


Welcome to Summer...

It is probably near 80 degrees today so I sent the kids outside to play in the water...



Back in the Saddle

Okay so I am not really functioning at normal capacity, but I did get out my camera yesterday and it was fun. Actually, I guess it was a little frustrating because I couldn't get my kids to cooperate.

This is my neice...






Now my little "L"











This is actually from today. I thought this flower would be fun for her but all she did was destroy it. I guess that was fun!






Pregnancy Update

I don't have the motivation to write all about my last month of sickness. I will share the short version.

I had been doing better (keep in mind these things are relative) but felt pain in my chest and my arm would always fall asleep (on my left side). After a few trips to the hospital they finally discovered with the help of a CAT Scan that I had another blood clot. The surgeon said this never happens when patients are on as high of dose of blood thinner as I am on. I was admitted to the hospital again, this time for three days. They pulled the central line out of my chest and I am officially IV-less. :) It was a strange and scarey thought that I was going to have to eat and drink all on my own (through my mouth) but I have been blessed. I had been doing infusions for 12+ weeks. It has been a week and for whatever reason, I have felt pretty good. I am still taking all my medication and am nearly always nauseous but I am eating and gaining weight and haven't thrown up for over a week. I haven't resumed all normal activity (cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids) but I am doing a little more here and there. I always said by Easter I would feel better and I guess I was right. Maybe if I had said earlier, it would have been earlier. :)

GIRL!! I am excited that Lexi gets a sister. I still wish we could have more kids but this will be the end. My body can't do this again. I am grateful it has been able to endure as much as it has.
