Day 47

Oh, what you don't see is Thing 2's much tattered and loved blanket sliding between his fingers.
THAT face is a dead give away.
Enjoy it, baby boy! Mommy loves you.

Day 46

Since when does snow, mud and sledding make for a great time?
Since today!

Day 45

I'm currently working on processing this photo, but for now here is a new favorite of Thing 1-
no wonder the girls all stop to look now. 
Remember this girls, he'll always be my first baby!

Frustrated

I don't want to look back, so tell me-was my last blog about slowing down in 2010? Oh my! It's been one thing after another since my mother in law's funeral in October. Since then time has raced by with my parent's 50th surprise celebration, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and now look, Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Maybe this should be about my Sweetheart, but that's going to have to wait until tomorrow.
My new drive in life has been trying to conquer the hurdle of learning how to use the other side of the camera's dial: manual. Should I admit that I've even googled and read on, "professional photographers who shoot in auto?" Blush. It's been that frustrating. I'm not used to photography being a thorn in my flesh but rather a blooming rose. I can only hope that as I work at it, the rose will bloom even more beautiful. With that, I'm off to study some more.

Day 44


One of my favorites of Thing 2 at the park.

Day 43

Thing 1 likes to play, too. 
The first day above freezing in awhile and we took full advantage.

Day 42

Snow pretty, but the grilled burgers will have to wait a little longer.
This season we're ahead of our snowfall average by almost a foot already.

Day 41

A couple of rings, a couple of hearts in love, a couple decades passed by...
A couple richly blessed by the Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

Day 40

No editing here, but I love the smell of a new box of Crayola crayons.
It's a great way to pass a cold winter day.

Day 39

Got to ride into work with Mr. T
We're thankful for his job and God's provisions for us.

Super Homemade pizza for the big game (that wasn't so big this year).

Just this week I awoke to the songs of happy birds. Hope they were snowbirds!

Day 34

Snowy creek.

Day 33

Thing 3? 
Labradoodles need about 7 hours for a haircut at home.
He's so cute and we love him!

The day after a foot of snow fell on our house.
