Day 147

baby blues and binks.
having a little too much fun trying to get this kid to move with a little bait...
the determination is coming! (don't be mad at our little game "Mama".  it was all in good fun.)

Day 146

24/7.  Pretty confident there is nothing she enjoys more.

Day 145

a colorful, rabbity sorta lunch.

Day 144

 stripped socks....
 bowleggies....
and rolls of chub, make my boy irresistible!

Day 143

brrrrr baby it's cold outside

Day 142

this spot of the little stream looked particularly blue as the sky was reflecting into the water.  I just wish it was shot on the ocean.  That would mean I would be somewhere warm with sand in my toes!

Day 141

i like the bland colors of this photo, feels soft.

Day 140

looking so innocent and sweet.  keyword- looking :)

139

i'm usually not one for added textures, but i played around with this lion head a bit and just added a touch.

138

Early one morning this weekend, it was so beautiful outside! Inversion MIA we needed a walk in the sunshine.  We ended up downtown and it was the perfect spot to let the kids run wild- mud free.

Day 137

i love any sorta stone path.  especially, when it is sided by moss.

Day 136

this coulda, woulda, shoulda, maybe had the potential to be cool, but it just isn't.  trying a long exposure although it was just too bright and couldn't leave open long enough.  oh well, that is my picture for the day!

135

5:50 am
7:05 am
7:25 am

sometimes there is more than one benefit to waking up early

134

Although I know it ain't goin' last, there is something refreshing about seeing green grass....even if it is covered in frost! 

133

cooking dinner and look over to find these two just hanging out arms around each other-one nakie, one movie star.  that is when i dropped my spatula and went for the camera.  i took a few, but for some reason Ava directing Slade caught me because being the older sibling it is her role 'to a T'.

132

one of those things that usually is the ugliest thing in the world, but with the light hitting the dirty snow just right, it seemed beautiful.  thus showing us that, in its own right, everything is beautiful.

Lucy {round 2}

Better late than never, right? Little Lucy hit her 1 month mark the day of these photos, but I think is over 2 months now!  For some reason this picture above caught my eye and has been a favorite.  I love that little bubble on her tongue and those big eyes.
she was bright eyed nearly the whole time
 she finally gets sleepy...
 gotta yank that binky....
 stretchy, stretchy, stretchy
but stays out like a light.  Noelle, thanks again!


Day 131

my #1 assistant is hot and puts up with me making her pose :):):)

Day 130

although i like the feel of this photo, go away muck!

Day 129

distracted daze

128

morn'.
couldn't decide color or bw.  everyday as i take Ava to school, i'm smitten with the hazy, bright sun shining sky.

127

hunkering down = headless birds

125

afternoon light.
one of my favorite times of the day.  golden, soft, warm touches on the world. And...the hubby's close to comin' home!

124

who cares what you look like doing it, its the end result, right?
and the look she gave after I asked her about a boy at school.  death.

123

 my second favorite position he sits in.
see what naughtiness he was up to when I quickly ran downstairs.  Oh boy, climbing has gone risen to new measures :(
