Kay ~

I'm delighted to learn that you're getting back to photography and being successful at it.  No surprise.  You do have a very good 'eye' and your earlier photos (especially on your blog) show that.  The photos of you, Dave and the famous '3 Curly Girlies' are charming.  You're a great lady and a valued contributor to these AN forums.  Your cheery, breezy attitude is infectious and your indomitable spirit shines through in every post you send.  I know you've spent a lot of time talking to other AN patients by telephone and you are definitely admired for your servant's heart as you support so many others in their AN journey.  Thanks for all you do and - Merry Christmas to you, too!

Gorgeous pictures, Kay  ;D

What a beautiful, happy family.

Based on those wedding photos you sent me the other day, I can say with confidence - and true sincerity - that you definitely have a very promising career in the field of photography. 

And just think, one day Saralynn will be able to say that she was your very first official subject.  Who realized at the time, that it would all start at the ANA Symposium in Chicago?

Merry Christmas, little sister.  May you always be the best behaved member of the JKL trio - not a difficult feat when the other two members are Lori and me  ;)  :D

Lookin' good!  I love the picture of you and Dave!  So sweet!  And of course, the girlies look amazing!

If Saralynn was your first official photo shoot, does that mean she owes you a sitting fee?  Sorry, I was hoping you'd hire me as your business manager.   :D

Merry Christmas, my friend!

No, see the thing is, I waived my usual modeling fee to help Kaybo get a start in the photog business.

Yeah, that's it.

Kay, better get busy snapping!  I don't think we're going to get rich off of Sara....I told her you should have had her sign that contract with the fine print!   :D

Kay,
Beautiful pics and family. I can see the love and happiness! (That's why we take pics- it doesn't show the sibling rivalry and such!)

Be safe during the holidays. Driving the highway while the transmission went out while talking to Lori......... We women tend to multitask but really!
Have a very Merry Christmas and and a prosperous and successful 2010!

Hey, be nice, now. I don't look that bad. Besides, I'm thinking we should start an agency for models with facial paresis.You gotta admit it's a niche market.

That halo slipping again, Lori?

Y'know, Kay's newfound trade taking pictures could come in handy in the garage surgery business y'all have been trying to get started..  I'm just sayin..

Brian -

we might be looking for a partner for our garage surgery business.  Are you in?

Oh, did I mention we're looking for someone to give us the startup money??   :D

Sure!  Count me in for some moral support, a couple of drills, circ saw, and a screwdriver or two.  About the startup money, I'll have to ask around (panhandle?)..  ;)  If Phyl will land that jet of hers long enough, we could strip it and sell the scrap for some startup cash..  :)

Happy Holidaze all! (yes, "-daze"... as the holiday season and the hustle/bustle always puts me in a haze!)
