So I spent part of today resting and part of today having some fun (and experiencing a little frustration at the same time) setting up the beginnings of my new blog. So from today forward you can visit my new blog for personal, professional, educational, creative, and definitely photography related updates. The changes were made […]

Just last week it finally dawned on me – there’s only about a month left until Baby Kern will arrive. Where has the time gone? Needless to say we’ve reached the point of this pregnancy where we are beginning to get a bit nervous, anxious, and excited. With about 4 1/2 weeks remaining, we found […]

My nephew is beautiful! His big sister looks like a pro already. I love you guys and I wish I were there this very minute. I like the name because it is like he is named after Jason but he still has his own name. Love you all!

With only 81 days remaining we’re glad to finally be in the home stretch of this pregnancy – but we’re even more excited to share our some of the amazing images and videos from the 4D ultrasound we got to experience today. Just prior to the ultrasound I got to endure one of the most […]

July 30, 2007 - 10:27 pm
Wow! Those are some great pictures, I’ve never seen 4D that is amazing
July 31, 2007 - 8:24 am
I have hear a lot about this 4-d thing… it is crazy!!!! That is too cool. Can’t wait to meet him
July 31, 2007 - 8:32 am
Wow, it’s so cool the way technology has progressed. Though I am surprised we haven’t already gotten to the point of full color, wide-screen HD videos in the womb! Or maybe live web cams? … Okay, that’s probably just weird.
He looks so cute! =) I’m so excited for you!
July 31, 2007 - 9:28 am
That IS amazing stuff. I remember when we were happy to have a little thermal paper printed photo. ;o)
July 31, 2007 - 10:25 am
Awwww look at little “caramel pop”, he’s so cute. The 4D thing is pretty neat too. Talk to you soon. Love ya much! give Hope Big BIG BIG Tayler and Shanna Hugs!
July 31, 2007 - 10:31 am
I was just thinking about you and the baby yesterday so I was super-excited to get to see the 4D photos today. The baby looks so beautiful! Enjoy this last stretch of your pregnancy (despite the fatigue and getting up at ungodly hours of the night). There’s a certain sacredness, connectedness, sexiness to being pregnant. Sending good vibes your way! ~Erica =0)
July 31, 2007 - 1:42 pm
Wow…..what great news and a creative way to share!!
July 31, 2007 - 1:55 pm
Wow! Like I said before, your pregnancy has been a learning experience for me. I knew nothin’ about babies, and I still can’t imagine what it takes to be a mother. But I do admire your strength and wish the best for you, your family, and the new baby kern.
Take much care!
We will be expecting more good news!

This weekend I finally received the best news I’ve had in a while, I’ve been accepted into Savannah College of Art & Design. As most of you know, I currently have three associates degrees from Valencia, and though I could tell you all over again, “Why I chose a two year college” versus just pursuing […]

Splendid news, my friend, what degree are you going to be pursuing?
July 2, 2007 - 5:43 pm
Visual Communication – with a concentration in Interactive Design.
July 2, 2007 - 6:19 pm
I’m so happy you decided to look for a place that would appreciate how qualified and awesome you are!

July 2, 2007 - 7:54 pm
thats good amanda! congratulations! i didnt have any doubts that you would be accepted. you’re an amazing teacher. When your post said you were going to savannah, I was freiking out, I was LIKE WHATTTTT? I thought you were like leaving to savannah georgia or something. Because you just cant leave us, we need you.
July 2, 2007 - 9:03 pm
You have to be the single most productive person I have ever encountered in my life. I am in absolute awe of your accomplishments and goals. How long do you think it will take you to be President? No, ruler of the world? Four, five, maybe six semesters? lol. You don’t know how to take a break do you, but if you did you wouldn’t be Amanda. Okay, jokes aside now (but still thinking of them).
Congratulations. I’m glad that you are still constantly setting the example for Valencia students and alumni. You are, definitely, one of the greatest things to ever happen to our program. Thank you Amanda.
July 2, 2007 - 10:00 pm
Ditto. Congrats on your acceptance! Woo hoo!
July 2, 2007 - 11:23 pm
Best wishes in your pursuit of learning, and for being accepted to Savannah! Amazing feat for a Mommy of almost two!

Yay! I’m so excited for you!
And I agree with everything John said. You are truly amazing and I just don’t know how you keep up with yourself!
July 3, 2007 - 12:08 pm

July 4, 2007 - 10:16 am

Congrats Amanda! that’s awesome news!
July 7, 2007 - 3:54 am
That is sooo cool… you are a great example to all of us. Never give up and pursue our dreams!!!
Congratulations!!!
July 7, 2007 - 12:42 pm
Congratulations!! That’s so great news! It also proves that you CAN have it all! Very inspiring to me! And I’m glad you’ll still be at Valencia because I certainly want to take all my Interactive Design classes with you.
July 30, 2007 - 9:40 pm
I totally thought I congratulated you on this.. sorry, I’ve been so busy.. mega-congrats!!

For those of you wondering how the baby’s been doing – great is an understatement. Despite getting more sick and being pretty fatigued the last month, I must keep reminding myself that being sick and tired is a “good” sign. I went in today for a routine visit – all I could do was proudly […]

ha! “Jimmy Crack Kern” thats crazzzzzyyy! I’ll try to think of some names. I will get my daughter to think of some, she is creative when it comes to that.
July 3, 2007 - 12:19 pm
I like Benjamin, Brad, Brandon for a BOY.
July 4, 2007 - 9:00 am
I like the name Theo. It means “divine gift” Miss you guys. HI HOPE!
July 7, 2007 - 3:59 am
Hehehehe Pop Kern 
I really like Elijah,Ethan, Lucas, Gabriel,Ethan and Alexander.
July 7, 2007 - 4:05 am
I like Sebastian, David, Alex, Jonathan, Ryan, Brad, Ben, Jason, Kevin….
July 7, 2007 - 12:39 pm
Nicolas – that’s my absolute favorite name for a boy. That’s what I’ll be naming mine one day. Only problem: people will end up calling him Nick and I don’t like that one so much. In general: pick a name that can’t be made into a common nickname (Nick name?)! Alexei is great, too. I love Russian names…
August 27, 2007 - 9:48 am
I like the names Aaron and Hayden and Jacob for a middle name because that was Grandpa Kern’s middle name.
