Hello, world.

What on earth did I do with my life before My boy came along? Seriously, what did I do with all that time? Sad to say, I probably wasted it away watching lame sitcom re-runs and dinking around on the internet instead of watching my son chew on coasters and shove sticky fistfuls of rice snacks in his face. Good times.

This sums things up nicely. I can relate. Not that all babies aren't a little "high maintenance," being babies, after all. But as I write this, my son is skirting around my desk chair, dumping toys down the back so when I lean back I get stabbed with blocks. It's only a matter of seconds before he crawls under my desk and pulls the toner door off my printer. That's why I don't blog much any more.

But I miss it.

So here's a long overdue update.

- I left my full time job, officially. It was so hard, and I still struggle with that decision. But ultimately, I know it will be one of the best things that I've ever had the courage to do.

- I picked up my freelance photography business again. Visit my photography blog at jeskelsenphoto.blogspot.com to check out what I've been up to. Not pictured on blog: an ongoing job where I get to photograph piles of 90s stuff. Think skip-its, super soakers, and furbys. YES.

- I am working on my first little illustration gig. For a book. It is awesome.

All that while trying to work from home and wrangle a little dude, who did indeed find my printer in the time it took to write this, and now demands some snuggles.

So until next time...
