when east meets south
I took these late the other night. It was one of those nights, you know the kind… when you stay up way too late, playing way too many rounds of Apples to Apples, and eating way too much leftover chocolate pie. And you get really silly. Hmmm, you don’t? Well, you should try it some time. Good stuff. The boys… Read More
You knew it was coming. Since he’s only here a few months out of the year, and hasn’t been home since Christmas, this Sunday Snapshot is all about Zach. My biggest boy. He’s taller than me now. On the verge of having his driver’s license. *gulp* On the inside, he’s much the same, though. Goofy. Funny. Opinionated. He loves music…. Read More
Oh my. Is it Saturday already? My kids were on spring break this week, so it’s been a little… ahem, busy around my house. Insane might be a better word. Plungers were used. Dog vomit was extracted. Band-aids were applied. Pretty much what you’d expect with a house this full. And some uncooperative weather. This year we opted not to… Read More
Y’all might have guessed what my subject matter would be this week. One of my biggest babies. And this Sunday Snapshot? It’s all Zach. On the verge of turning 16, he’s now taller than I am. And looking ridiculously grown up, if you ask me. So much of him is still just a kid, though. He loves to play practical… Read More
And, because I took a whole slew of pictures of my biggest babies yesterday, and I can think of little else – besides chocolate of course – I am sharing a few here today. Probably more for me than for you, but I hope you’ll bear with me. More pictures posted on my sorely neglected photography blog. Because they look… Read More
they’re gone. The time went way, way too fast. If anyone needs me, I’ll be curled up on the couch. Sucking my thumb. This mama does not do well on days like this.
Oh my. Where to begin. Christmas 2010 was crazy. In a really, really good way. All the wrapping and shopping for nine kiddos? Oh, so worth it in the end. For moments like these. The Pillow Pets – “It’s a pillow, it’s a pet… it’s a Pillow Pet!” has been an all too familiar chorus around here for months –… Read More
These are the last beach pictures of the season, I promise. I think. Really. Honestly, I did intend to post these a while ago. But I forgot. And, because they’re my kids and I love ’em, I don’t want to just leave these pictures to get all dusty in ‘draft’ status. Plus, seeing these pictures makes me smile. And makes… Read More
Summer is over. School is starting. Which means it is time for Zach to leave, and go back to his dad’s house. Far, far away. Having Zach here for the entire summer was fantastic. So many laughs. So many memories made. Sometimes being a mom really hurts. To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…… Read More
Y’all probably know by now that I love color. Lots and lots of color. So the vast majority of my pictures stay that way: colorful. But Tori was playing around in Lightroom with these pictures from the other day. And she found the perfect preset: Licorice. Not perfect just because of the way it changed the images, but because it… Read More
