a day at the park

this was for an assignment - had to create an 8 photo storytelling collage inspired by verses from Oh, The Places You'll Go.

wait, it's November already?  Now how the heck did that happen?

remember this one?

but now i've added a little silver/smoky action to it thanks to Kristy Lane's actions.  crazy busy here keeping up with lacrosse, soccer, flag cheer, dance, dance and did i mention dance?? 

 

 

what she typed out on my iTouch

while I was helping jake with his egyptian myth story:

Josie loves you so much
And you know I do.

technology is a wonderful thing

have a remarkable day

it's starting with number 2

she's starting to "hang out" with her friends more...my homebody...the one that likes to putter around the house and didn't hound me for playdates 24/7. so my solution, photo shoot time...

perhaps a business card?

blooming

my first assignment for Bloom...both were taken inside using natural light...you can she was clearly done with helping me with my homework in the second photo...

 

a josie post

 

pulled this out of my archives - she's seven here but she looks so much younger to me compared to what she looks like now.  she tried out for a swim team this week - jake, kayla and i thought we could watch aand cheer her on but they whisked her away to a pool with paper over the windows!  they kept the kids for 1 1/2 hours...they had to dive and swim a length of the pool for each stroke...she can swim backstroke the best and a little bit of freestyle. so i was a little worried but told her to have fun with it...she came out bouncy & happy saying, "mom, i really need to work on my butterfly!"  so they'll mail us the results and it's either swim team or swim lessons in our near future.

some of her favorite things:  smarties, the lake, riding her bike, not homework, iCarly, croutons, cotton candy ice cream (esp from Brusters), cousins, apples, converse, family movie nights, card games, playing with Jake & Kayla, not scary movies, changing outfits 5xs a day.

i feel like i'm on a roll with these posts!

another day at the beach

 peace...quiet...they're back in school...but i miss them being home...even when they were bickering (shhh, don't tell!)

taking this time to learn some new things - converted the photo of kayla myself instead of using an action and added a vignette to the one of jake & tim.

another day at the lake

labor day weekend...the official closing of lake season but I think we may sneak up here for a few more ski sessions.
