Prayer’s for Aiden

Last summer I did a session for a wonderful and precious little one year old boy. I knew that Aiden had been hospitalized at 4 months of age for an  illness that had caused him to have trouble with his kidneys.  At the time of his session the cause of his illness was unknown.  Since then Aiden has been diagnosed with a rare disorder called Atypical HUS (AHUS) which causes great damage to the kidneys and blood cells.  Very little is known about this disorder, but there is no cure and the treatments are “trial and error”.   I hope you will all remember to keep this sweet baby boy in your prayes.  Click here  to visit Aiden’s website.

Friends of the Cross Family have set up a non-profit (tax-free) account set up at the Citizens Bank in Kilgore to help with the bills and travel fees that they have incured with Aiden’s illness. 
Donations to the Aiden Cross Fund can be sent to:

Facebook!

Ok, it seems like I’m going to be much more likely to update my facebook than this blog so if you have an account I’d love to have you as a friend on my facebook!  I’ll try to post any specials etc when I get the opportunity here AND there.   I never thought I’d be one to get addicted to anything like facebook/ myspace, but just the simple fact that I can keep up with clients, friends, and family at the same time is great.  Of course many of my best friends ARE clients and family so I can keep up with everything at once!  Anywhooo….I am on facebook as Amber Anschutz Bowins.  Of course I had to throw in that maiden name for those old classmates  who won’t remember me by my current last name.  Oh and on that subject….As of this summer I have been officially graduated from high school and MARRIED for 15 years!!!  I’d love to hear any advice as to how to celebrate this milestone.  I’m sortof a romantic by heart, but I work so much that I’ve drawn a blank the past few years.  I simply cannot let my 15th go by without doing something really romantic so please send your ideas!!!  What can I possibly surprise him with this year??? LOL, keep it clean, cause my kids read this stuff too!!!  Keep in mind that my husband is a bit strange in the fact that he doesn’t hunt or fish or watch sports so a weekend in the woods or at a stadium will just make us both hot and cranky!  Best idea will get a free session and 8×10!    Also I am having baby withdrawals.  I love newborn babies soooooo much that I am willing to give free sessions to the next 3 inquiries that call to book for newborn (2 weeks or younger) sessions that mention my blog!  Also I am dying to photograph twin babies, so the first person to contact me to photograph newborn twins, or 6-9 month old twins and mention my blog will also get a free session!  Send all inquiries to a_bowins@yahoo.com
