It’s summer. And all my babies are home. My most favorite time of year. And there is so much I want to squeeze into the time we are all together – all fun stuff, of course. But the truth is, we just don’t get out a whole lot. For several reasons. 1) I am a homebody 2) “We” is a… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: 14 from 2013
I did it last year. The year before. And even the year before that. It’s sort of a thing, I suppose. And, since 2013 doesn’t want to be left out, here are my favorites from the last year. Not necessarily technically my favorites, from a photography standpoint. Just from a mama’s standpoint. 1. Princess Vivienne. 2. My incredibly silly pony…. Read More
Sunday Snapshot: 19
Yep. He’s turning 19. Already. Currently soldiering through his first year of college. Still trying to figure out his major. His whole future ahead of him. Gah. Makes a mother’s insides sort of wobbly – having her baby out there in this big, crazy world. But that’s what love does. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Happy Birthday,… Read More
a summer tradition
Trying to carve out special time with your biggest isn’t easy. Especially when you have 9 younger ones afoot that are usually messier and bossier. And louder. But this summer we managed a few hours every afternoon. About 4:00, we ice down the coffee. Pull out the Quiddler. And put on our thinking caps. Okay, it’s not really a very… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: my babies
It’s been a busy summer. In a good way. I’ve let a lot of “regular” things slip because I wanted to be intentional about spending time with my kids. And it has been so ridiculously fun. One of the things I put on the back burner – besides blogging regularly – was my photography. I used to pull my camera… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: the graduate
Technically, he graduated in May. The official ceremony was in June. But, to be honest, I’m just grateful July didn’t end before I actually got some pictures of him. The graduate. He graduated with a 3.4. And the last time he got into any trouble at school was in 8th grade for a food fight. Which is more than I… Read More
a grown up
Yes, I am still sad. But not sad enough to disappear for an entire week. Yikes, I haven’t gone that long in posting since I-don’t-know-when. My absence is due to an unanticipated vacation from my internet and phone service – thanks to a broken cable outside. Finally, finally, the cable guy came and repaired it last night. And I am… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {class of 2013}
He’s a senior now. Class of 2013. *wah* But as sad as I am for me – my baby boy is almost college-aged! – I am excited for him. After all, he’s a senior. And I hope you enjoy every minute of it, son. Just don’t forget, you’re still my baby boy. I took these with my Nikon D90, 24-70mm… Read More
my oldest boy
He never fails to make me smile. This is just one in a series I took the other day. Zach, Victoria and I went out and had such fun getting these… I’ll share them all on Sunday. For more Friday Favorites, visit my friend Lisa’s blog, The Long Road to China.
Sunday Snapshot: {the beach}
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
