Week 8

You may recall me mentioning a few weeks back that I wanted to paint some rooms in the house. I made like Nike and just did it a few weeks ago! Amazingly, Owen behaved really well and let me work on it most of the afternoon. I/we painted our dining room and the office and I'm so happy with the outcome! Since the paint job I've been wanting to take some photos of O with the new wall in the background. Yesterday I flung open the blinds and got to it. Initally--these are not what I had in mind. Its funny though because the outcome is always as it should be. I love them and plan to use them in his alphabet book for the letter C. He wouldn't put his camera down. So as I was taking pictures of him, he was doing the same of me. This weeks are my little budding photog in training....some of him, and then one from his little camera to show you what he was taking pics of.






I downloaded all the pictures off his camera yesterday and it is quite comical seeing his view of the world. There's lots of heads chopped off and nose picking caught on camera...of the entire extended family. Pretty funny. ;)

Week 7

My mom and granny came down for a visit the weekend before/of week 7. Its always so nice to visit with them. I hate living nearly 3 hours away. On Saturday I had a photo shoot of my friends kiddos. Here are some of my personal favorite from that session...which I need to finish up editing! The twins are 1. Time sure flies. It seems like yesterday they were born.




And some more personal shots from week 7. For Valentine's Day, hubby came home with roses for me.


The weather has been spectacular the past week. Oh spring, please come and stay! Its been so nice getting outside and letting O romp. We both need it!



And lastly, a sweet little birds nest we found in one of our bushes out back. Its amazing how they make these tiny/delicate things. In case you didn't know...I love to photograph birds. Our bird feeder has been getting a lot of action! Its getting to be good bird picture weather. Man I feel old saying that. ;)

Week 6

I got a new lens, the Canon 85mm 1.8, in week 6 and was trying it out heavily!
This photo is one that I entered into a clickinmoms photo challenge themed "red"...I got one of the runner-ups, which thrilled me!


I also was playing around with the new lens for this super silly collage of my sweet boy. He was hamming it up with his 3D movie glasses on. I love these of him. He makes the funniest faces.


Chris also took Owen to his first live basketball game in week 6...Vanderbilt vs. Alabama. Owen came home saying, "The Vanderbilts winning makes me sad." He was for "The Reds." Here are some shots of the two of them before their big night out...which I could really get used to. I went with a girlfriend and got a mani and pedi that night, picked up takeout, and watched my shows without interruption. It was devine.


I can see some season tickets to something in their future. ;)

Week 5

Oh dear. I'm so behind. I'm doing worse with my Project 52 than I did with my Project 365!

Much has happened since my last post. In week 5 my hubby's sweet grandfather passed away. Edwin lived to the age of 95, was married to his sweet bride for 70.5 years, and was a wonderful man. During week 5 we traveled east to go be with family and attend the funeral. It was a wonderful tribute to a great man. He will be missed.

Please excuse my crappy photo from week 5. Looking back I didn't take many pics that week. This photo is the only kind of football I like...its a brownie bite football shaped dessert that we had at our house for Super Bowl. I'm so glad to see football gone for a while...it is my least favorite sport!
