• {deciding on a new name}
  
  I guess maybe it’s time to finally change my username after all these years.
  Hutch5 doesn’t fit us anymore.
  
  Of course the obvious is simply changing it to Hutch6~
  but for some reason that one just doesn’t jive with me.
  It doesn’t have the same ring or something.
  
  Like when you stand on top of a mountain and shout it out really loud 10 times…
  Try it. It just doesn’t work.
  
  Besides, I feel like we’re about to embark on something different in our lives –
  more than just a new chapter, a whole new book.
  An adventure like we’ve never had.
  
  Not merely standing on the edge of the unknown – but jumping out into it’s dark abyss.
  
  And not a little jump either…
  the kind you back way up for, run as hard as you can, shut your eyes extra tight, heart pounding out of your chest, and. JUMP!
  Hoping somehow you’ll land on your feet and not die in the process.
  
  So…
  a new name on the place I document our crazy wonderful journey only seems right.
  
  One night, back when I was on bedrest, but not sleeping .. I played around on Picnik with the ones I was thinking about.
  
  Here they are – tell me which one you like best::
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  I will say, I like the “grace” ones more than the “focus” ones…
  
  Since I’m feelin G.R.A.C.E is sorta, kinda, totally, completely the theme of our lives right now!

  We’re planning on doing our annual family Christmas pics on Saturday, so I’m working/ trying to decide on outfits.
  Here’s our family shoots from years past – just for fun. 07.08.09.
   
  I’ve never been a huge RED person, but found these shoes at Baby Gap and loved and bought.
  
  Is it bad to plan a whole photo shoot around a pair of shoes??

  
  
  I’m thinking black and white w. some great splashes of red here and there.

  And this chair… it would fit nicely too.
  

  Are your Christmas pictures done yet?
  Do you get stressed with the process…
  or, I should say, does your husband and kids get stressed with the process?
  
  I admit I always feel a bit nervous cause I have this “artsy vision” in my head of what I want it to look like -
  and no, not just the given expectation of everyone looking at the camera at the same time and no fingers up noses {yes, that includes adults too}.
  
  And if this poison ivy doesn’t clear up by then remember when you get your Christmas card I do not have a strange birth mark or was recently rescued from a burning building! I did say I wanted splashes of red here and there didn’t I…
