52 Portraits - Week 6

Love this slice of life shot. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I hold on to motherhood with white knuckles. There will come a day too soon, that my babies will be in school all day every day during the week. And as much as that sounds "glorious" at times, it's also a mark of stepping into that next phase of parenting, and youth for them. A step I'm not always ready to take.

Until that day, Wednesdays and Fridays will be my days to observe, play, pretend, imagine, create, discipline, teach, learn, grow and hug and kiss the hours away with two of my most favorite people on Earth.

Last week, it was yucky outside so we set up the tent and filled it with pillows and blankets and anything else they might need to feel comfy inside. They promptly zipped it down and giggled, ate goldfish, read stories, and "played toys" and generally made one glorious mess in there. Their laughter inside was sound I loved overhearing. Wish I could just bottle it up.

52 Portraits - Weeks 3-4-5

While not obvious here online... I have been keeping up with my commitment to photograph FOR ME each week... Recently, I had a chance to clean off my CF card and have a look at some of the snaps I took.

Here are a few standouts....

My sweet boy... getting too big too fast for mommy.

Concentrating.

Donuts at Mimi's.

Love this one of the little booger reading aloud. It's important to note that she had no audience whatsoever. And it was amusing that she just kept saying over and over for every page... "This guy says... This is GOOD!" She is just the cutest dang two year old ever. I wish everyday that she wouldn't get any older.

I need to do a collection of bizzarre shots of Macho... He was watching cartoons on Saturday morning like this a week or so ago. Ski goggles and binoculars. And Spiderman underoos, of course. Intellesting.

Have a great weekend!

A Personal Valentine....

Happy Valentine's Day!

And.... if it's your birthday today... Happy Birthday too. :)

A good reason to be MIA

A few posts ago... when I returned from my long holiday hiatus... I said there was a reason for my long absence.

Well - this is it.

Clark and I have known since mid-October and couldn't be more excited! Life is about to get full throttle crazy! Gotta love it!

We wanted to do it in person, so we waited to tell our families unti Christmas. The first trimester was a doozy. I was just sick as a dogfish - and I was totally swamped with work. I was part zombie and really just had to cut out anything not entirely necessary from my day. Unfortunately - the blog was but just one of many things I had to put on hold for awhile.

We will be welcoming nugget #3 at the end of July.

I'm bumpin out and feeling much better now, thank you very much!

We will also be finding out the sex at the end of this month... so stay tuned for that little update.

And thanks for cutting me a break and sticking around... y'all are the best.

And.... as it turns out - we will be saying a warm welcome back to Mr. Crib. Yahoo!
