  • The first day of school….

    This is Abi’s first day of school – ever. She was excited, nervous, scared…and so grown up! Emma – going into 2nd grade – was cool and smooth…she had this routine down! We had a pancake breakfast, got hair and teeth brushed, new clothes ironed and one, backpacks loaded up – and [...]

  • Fun in the Sun

    Well, it got above 100F here today, so the kids headed outside for some fun in the pool(s) – Connor has a small one of his very own! Well, everyone had a really good time and got cooled down. Then it was time to relax and play around a little bit…of course, Abi [...]

  • A Drive Through the Foothills

    It’s been a while since I took the kids anywhere out of the ‘city’, and it’s been a while since I took their pictures (officially!), so today, I loaded them up and drove out Kings Canyon towards Wonder Valley….there had been a big old house made entirely of river rocks that stood by the side [...]

  • The end of a busy day

    Yesterday was a ‘normal’ day – you know the type: grocery shopping, laundry, vacuuming the carpet, mopping the kitchen, taking the garbage out. The girls played hard all day and helped out with some of the smaller chores – getting the dirty clothes to the laundry room, for instance. We had some friends [...]

  • Daybreak Today…

    I took my bike out this morning — not because I’m a good person and just love to be up at the crack of dawn, but rather because I need to lose weight and I wanted to get the kind of pictures you can only get in early morning light. So, I threw on [...]

  • Visitors and Sight Seeing!

    Had a really good time last week! My husband’s mother and her husband were in town for a visit and it was a nice, relaxing kind of week. We did a lot of just hanging out around the house, watering the flowerbeds, that sort of stuff. We did do one thing that [...]

  • Babies….

    One of my friends and my cousin both had their babies over the last couple of weeks and I got to take a few pictures of them….

    This last little guy was 6 weeks premature….and is doing fantastically!
    Edited April 2, 2010: This page is getting a ton of hits. If you landed here, could [...]

  • A “Hanging Out” Weekend!

    With not much going on this weekend, I played a bit with my camera (and knit a little on some socks!). Got a couple of sweet shots of my son and oldest daughter. I’m starting to market a bit more now for babies/children/families….which is what I really started out doing! (never intended to [...]

  • Summer Vacation!!

    Well, Morro Bay was an absolute BLAST!! We got there on Friday night (this was back in June, but I’ve been really busy!) and the first couple of days were pretty cool – jeans and sweatshirt kind of weather. We went shopping, to the local museum of natural history – which was completely [...]

  • Buddy Walk 2008

    As you know, my son, Connor, has Down syndrome. I have just received information on how to set up online donations for those of us who are walking. Please, if you have the time to click a link, support us and our efforts to educate our society on Down syndrome and the potential [...]
