I wanted to have a photo shoot with our friend Baby Riley today---- my thoughts were to put her in an adorable pink tutu up against the blue wall in Angel's kitchen (by the window with lots of light). I thought the blue wall would compliment the blue in Riley's eyes... well, nothing really went as planned. I have so much to learn!!! Riley HATED the tutu!!!! I was able to get a couple of pictures that were pretty cute, though. Here is one.

A day at the park! It's always fun to go to the park. We left the house with bright blue skies and by the time we got down the road the dark clouds started to roll in. Addie was afraid we'd get "caught in a rainstorm," but it didn't rain after all.
We had fun.

Friday!

Well, wish I could say the work week was over, but that doesn't happen being a mom!
Fall is in the air - still have lots of flowers blooming in the yard so I thought I'd snap a picture of this beautiful cosmo that I grew from seed.

Don't you wish you could dress like a toddler?

Addie may become a famous fashion designer one day - or I guess it's just normal for toddlers to wear WHATEVER they can get their hands on???? Anyway... she found her princess
costume from last Halloween and HAD to go outside with it.!







Here's a pic of Jack and Ruby hanging out on our bed. Can't quite figure out what each one is thinking!

New Haircut and first day of nursery school

I did it! I got my hair cut to a recognizable shorter length today. I was cracking up with my stylist about how I'm never going to have the hair I did when I was 16 years old --- long, lush, flowy... that's just not life anymore! My hair dresser and I were able to sort out the difference between "hip, young mother" and "old bag" hair styles, though.. and it was a great laugh! I will try to take self-portrait soon and post for all to see! I know you're waiting by your computers.

Addie started her first day of nursery school today. Here is a shot of Dada with Addie and her braided pigtails!

Japanese Anemone in bloom

Fun with Japanese Anemones today. They are beautiful flowers! Speaking of beautiful, today was gorgeous - 70 degrees, big blue sky with puffy white clouds. Fall is in the air!

Jack loves to talk on the phone... here he is talking to Nini in Ohio.

My first post!

I thought it would be fun to start a blog for my latest obsession - photography!
Favorite photo from today...
