when east meets south
Asher means “happy” in Hebrew. If ever a child truly embodied his name, it would be my boy. He is happy. And he makes me happy. He loves sweets. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that I craved cherry pie filling during my entire pregnancy. I must have eaten a lot of said cherry pie filling… Read More
This post isn’t so much for you as it is for me. I’ll be posting regular updates on my kids. Sunday Snapshot, I’ll call it. Maybe with a snappy name like that, I’ll remember. I’ll feature one of my kiddos, ideally with a cute picture, and what’s goin’ on in their lives. I’d say it’s for them, so they have… Read More
Sunday Snapshot was born out of a realization that I’m just not the youngster I used to be. Neither is my memory. And I realized in my blogging, I’d moved away from my original intention: to capture, in words and in pictures, our lives… the good, the bad, the pretty and the the not-so-pretty. So, in an effort to create… Read More
The leaves are changing so quickly here, and the array of colors is positively breathtaking. Chris and I are purposefully taking time to get out with the kiddos and enjoy the changing season before we freeze our butts off winter descends upon us. Last weekend as we were driving home, we ran across a beautiful state park. We decided to… Read More
Sometimes I get really tired of dragging my big, bulky camera along on family excursions. Then I remind myself, if I don’t carry along my camera, all our joyful outings might go undocumented. But the lazy side of me retorts, to haul around my (decidedly breakable) Nikon is sometimes so. not. worth. the effort. But today it absolutely, completely, was…. Read More
Last night during, you guessed it, football practice, I took a few pictures of the kiddos. Nothing too exciting… I just like to pull the ol’ Nikon out every now and then to capture a little of the same old same old. Here’s my dude. Just hanging out. Asher is always a willing participant when momma wants to snap a… Read More
Today is picture day at school. Typically, I face this day with the tiniest hint of dread… who is going to fall and have a busted lip? who is going to insist on wearing an, ahem, unflattering top? who is going to… to… forget it’s picture day? Thankfully, after a few mishaps in previous years, today I can stand up… Read More
or is it contemplating pets? Actually it’s both… contemplative and pets. (click to see full size) Here’s my ‘contemplative’ entry. We were caonoeing this summer in the mountains and as we came out of this tunnel, I snapped this of Asher as he was soaking in all the beauty around him. I love this picture, but it’s probably just cuz… Read More
Donna over at Double Happiness whipped this ‘fix-it Friday’ for my overexposed beach pix… Thanks, girlfriend!! I love it!
We spent the afternoon at a new park… it was a beautiful day and since I knew my submission for the mamarazzi group was due soon, I figured I’d better bring the D90 along. I’ve posted my favorite pictures of the day here…
