The J’s and Renton Mom’s Group

Well, I don’t usually do volunteer work.  It’s not that I don’t enjoy it or think that’s a waste of time (quite the contrary).  It’s just that we are beginning to get out of the beautiful wash of children that we’ve been given in the last couple of years.  I’m hoping when they are out of diapers I can give more regularly (and focus on my business more).  But, this Easter,  Renton Mom’s Group on meetup.com had their 2nd annual Easter bash and as a fundraiser the members were asked to donate something if they could.  I donated a free session, including the pics a couple of prints and a wallet sized book that includes 10 pics for mommy’s purse.

I felt like I’ve been such a deadbeat with this group the last year because we were trying to keep our home peaceful and this was an easy way for me to help.  I was also happy to hear one of my good friends M won the raffle for the prize.  So, in typical Leya style I processed too many pics because I loved her family.

I was warned the kids might not cooperate (they are just 13 months apart and these ARE difficult ages), but also in my style we didn’t pose much and just kinda let the kids loose.  I had a blast and I think they did too.

I sent M a slideshow last night, but she is in Venezuela now so I hope you guys aren’t seeing the pictures before she does.

Enjoy (you can always click on each pic to see it BIG):

RMG is a closed group right now, but maybe in the future it’ll open up again.  I feel like I have REALLY benefited from such a tight knit, giving, loving, and non-judgemental group of mommy’s.
