Happy Birthday, Ryder! | Halifax, NS

In an attempt to keep life as normal as possible, I ventured to Ryder's birthday party.  I haven't wanted to photograph anything since diagnosis.  The only time I've picked up the camera was Christmas day and then the odd time since then.  I had no interest in taking pictures or editing pictures or anything else that comes along with it.  

Ryder's mom is a good friend who insisted I not come to Ryder's party - but instead for me to concentrate on myself and the healing I would need to do.  Jason suggested I go; he knew I needed to pick up the camera for enjoyment.  He was right.

And really, how could I resist this face?





Last November, I was at Ryder's house to take a family photo.  Mom, Dad, and I looked for the perfect location.  We got some pictures on the front step, some on the back step, but were looking for something else.  Let's try a spot in the living room, we'll move the sofa, add some Christmas props and bam! done.  Til we moved the sofa - poor Ryder didn't like that at all!  He had a little meltdown in the corner of the room where the sofa had once been. :-(  Moving the sofa back (quick, quick, quick!) didn't help, but a little bit of The Wiggles on TV sure did.  Imagine my surprise when I saw Ryder moving furniture around during his birthday party! ;-)




And of course, he's on my team, supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and helping me on my journey:





Happy Birthday, Ry!
