Dearest Suppy

The kids wanted to play outside today.

They weren't dressed for the weather- but when are they ever?

Their faces showed signs of lunch and a lack of lipbalm. (In this house of all places!)

As I pulled out my phone to take pictures, I thought of you.

I also thought of my kids 20 years from now. We took so many beautiful pictures of them as babies. Somewhere along the way (mid-October 2010 to be exact) our photos went the way of the iPhone.

Three to four years of beauty undone by the convenience of technology. Terrible photos of wonderful moments.

So, to stop the trend, I went inside and dusted off the old Nikon.

The kids couldn't synchronize their smiles, the sun was uncooperative while the plentiful tree branches shot out from behinds their heads no matter the angle. Terrible. But I tried.

I am seriously considering promising to do better.

Until then, enjoy a few posts of real pictures that had to be edited with funky colors because the lighting was dreadful.

Backyard Sights

We have a few new fun bird in our yard this year. As long as Mr. Woodpecker keeps to the trees we will get along fine. The Red-Shouldered Hawk family is really fun to watch. They perch on the roof above my office window so I get to see them swoop down and fly all over the yard. They are beautiful!

Flashback

Spring 1999
There are no words to describe how much I love this picture.

The First Film Strip

Since I am enjoying my scanner so much this afternoon, I thought I would scan this beauty. We only have a handful left and most are starting to yellow and fade. Don't we look young?

Llandy's Birthday Bear Trip 10/09

Are we not the cutest crew you have ever seen? We took these pictures at the mall in October when we went to Build-A-Bear for Llandy Llew's second bday.

Have I Mentioned....

That I am obsessed with yoga those days. I am doing poses all over the house. Llandis attempted Virabhadrasana III (Warrior 3) at the beginning of our afternoon walk. She did it with more style than the average Yogi.... gold weave shoes, fuzzy hat, polka dot pants, and a flowery hoodie.

Saturday Afternoon Flower PIcking

Surprise!

ME:

Hey WB, we are going to drop Llandy off with Gram and have a special afternoon. How do you feel about that?

WB:

WB:
I make silly faces when I am excited.

Me:

Do you make silly faces when you eats milkshakes?

WB:

Whaaaaaat? Milkshakes! I loooove milkshakes with ice cream.

Ten Minutes

When left to play alone for a few minutes, you find the kids have done these types of things...

Piggies on a Pillow

Llandis and I love to cuddle up after naptime to watch Mickey or read books in bed. Today, Llandis did her best to look totally delicious and adorable.
