Oh my. Be forewarned, there are a ton of pictures below. It was our singular “vacation” of the year, if you want to call it a vacation. What it was was one wondrous day at the beach. And so, I took a lot of pictures. It was also Poppy’s first time to the beach. She wasn’t so sure how she… Read More
a gift
Several weeks back, on Isabelle’s birthday, she received an incredibly sweet gift. It was from our neighbors, specifically our neighbors’ granddaughters – ages 7 and 8 – who spend the summers here. And they gifted Isabelle with a ‘lesson’ from them on their super cute Welsh pony, Elliott. And yesterday was the big day. When the call came to see… Read More
Isabelle’s big day
I spent much of yesterday trying to upload and organize my photos. Good times. Goooood tiiiimes. I have several memory cards and – being non-organizationally minded – this only compounded my issues. But anyway. I found these pictures, that I had evidently forgotten to upload. So glad I double checked. Umbrella here. Roller skates here. Strawberry cake here. P.S. Those… Read More
Sunday Snapshot :: {turning 8}
Okay, I admit it. I’m a bit behind. My Isabelle turned 8 almost two weeks ago. And she got everything on her birthday wish list. An umbrella. New earrings. And roller skates. But then the heat hit. And I just couldn’t manage to find a chance to get some pictures of my brand new 8 year old. And her birthday… Read More
Isabelle: end-of-the-year update
I took Isabelle out the other night. For a drive. The sun was setting and it was a beautiful night. I also wanted to get a few pictures of her, for fun. I’m still working on figuring out that back lighting thing and Isabelle is always game to be my guinea pig model. And we did have fun. But the… Read More
hello, summer.
I didn’t get it done. The weather simply has refused to cooperate with my plans to get a Sunday Snapshot of the birthday boy. But I’m not giving up. For now, since the weather still doesn’t look like it’s going to cooperate, I must move on. School is out. And as I’ve done in years past, I’m doing a quick… Read More
choo. choo.
It’s not too often I find all of my youngest in a candid moment that I actually want to capture on film. But yesterday, I did. They had been given the “wrap it up” nod from in the house and were busily cleaning up. Or so I thought. Turned out they were cleaning up… but with a bit of a… Read More
my girlie
Y’all. She’s reading. For our very special girl, this is huge. She has worked so hard. And now is filled with such a sense of accomplishment. Reading is still a struggle for her. And she remains well behind her peers. But she’s reading. And she’s happy about it. Seriously, I could just pop. Today, when she got home from school,… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {girls’ weekend}
On Friday, the girls and I headed down to A-town to visit Victoria. And to celebrate, once again, her recent college graduation. Can one celebrate such an achievement too much? I think not. We hunkered down at my mom’s house and spent the afternoon shopping and cooking. And then eating. All Victoria’s favorites. Girly food, of course. But there was… Read More

Today is the start of Chinese New Year. And, around these parts, that means bringing out the Chinese silks. And celebrating our kids’ Chinese heritage. I had every intention of trying to get everyone in their silks today. And pictures taken. But the sun just did not want to cooperate. Eventually, I just quit waiting and took the girls out… Read More
