So we played outside! For those of you that live here and am wondering where this post is coming from since we woke up this morning to snow... this was last week! Yeah, I'm a slacker, I know.

We played on the swingset and Jeremiah rode his tractor... good times! Then he found the incredibly old box of chalk (look how awful that is!) and drew all over the driveway. I grabbed my camera and mentioned to Jane what he was doing and her artsy side couldn't stand it. She grabbed her jacket and contributed to the art show. I didn't take many pics, mostly just enjoyed the fresh air and having some fun but here are a couple snaps I took of the two artists at work...


This one is not even very clear but I still love it...


Thanks for visiting!

Mommy Moment: I was snuggling with Jeremiah and hugging him tight and said "You make me so happy!" He replied sweetly with "Yeah, me too." lol

Jane's back! Yipee! We are so glad she is back safe and sound - we sure missed her! Jeremiah was so excited to see her again and has been bugging her non-stop to play with him (she's not fighting the idea!).

Here she is with her new look, beautiful as ever!


I decided to pump a bottle of milk to see if Joshua might take it from a bottle now and then and Jeremiah watched in fascination as he slurped away. I asked if Jeremiah wanted to feed the baby and he said, "Sure!" So I told him to sit in the rocker and he grabbed the Boppy pillow and thought he was big stuff (even though he looked so small!). The batteries in my flash decided to die on me and I wasn't going to miss this shot by scrounging up more batteries so you get these snapshot-looking ones (I was even in too big of a hurry to check my settings!). That is okay with me, I'm just proud of my big boy for taking interest in caring for his little brother!


And I ran across this image I forgot about that I love even more than the other one of Grandma's & Joshua's hands together. *sigh* I just love it!!!


Thanks for all the comments on our little family photo! You all are so sweet! And Heather, it is only silly if you plan on doing something creepy with it! lol I'll e-mail you a copy if you really want one.

This is what she said to me as we drove home from taking prom pics of her friends. So with the extra room left on the memory card we decided to play around on our street (where it's not as busy!).

Here she is, frolicking...Jumping for Joy...
Dancing to the music in her heart (LOL)... Then we tried some a little more artsy...
She said she didn't like her face showing (?) so we did one of her looking away...
Then some serious for fun...
One with a texture play (Love LCH's textures!)...
Thanks for visiting!

This girl is so sweet and obviously gorgeous! She's one of my fave models too! I'm so lucky to have her close and willing anytime I need to get some practice in. =) Our photography group shot some images of her and two other young girls for some fun and practice tonight. HHCC is welcomed!

I was so frustrated this day! My camera was returned home from repairs the day before and when we got to the park and started shooting I noticed the problem with my metering sensor was NOT fixed. Oh I was so mad! But life happens, right? I haven't finished proofing the pics but wanted something to post so here are some from J's shoot this past weekend.

As you can see in the first few shots, my camera was overexposing all my pics and it steadily got worse and then I had to switch to full manual. I'm not that great with full manual yet so my settings were hit or miss. I am not really pleased with these so I'm happy that the purpose was for practice and fun. She is a sweet girl and we did have fun and I did get lots of practice shooting manual! So I suppose it wasn't a wasted trip. Thanks for visiting!





Shipped out my camera body, AGAIN, today. Hope to have it back within a couple weeks. And I hope it really is fixed this time! Grrr....
