Showers

not the rain variety, but the baby variety – I love them!
What’s not to love?! There’s cake, presents, friends, and lots of laughter.
Julie‘s baby shower was yesterday afternoon.
Boats

I’ve got the non-pregnancy-related nesting syndrome. When I’m home, not on the computer (and not playing tic tac toe with my youngest) I’m sorting through paper files, boxes, and closets. I’m clearing, re-arranging, and discarding.
While in the midst of a recent nesting “episode” I came across a few photos that I love. They were taken at least 10 years ago at one of my very favorite harbors. As I’ve mentioned before, my husband loves boats and harbor-exploring is a favorite activity of his (mine, too, if I have a camera with me!).
It was a beautiful summer day and we were with friends. My husband and his friend studied the boats, dreaming about their next ones, while my friend and I took photographs.
One reason I love photographing boats is their often brilliant gel coat colors. I also love the many details and patterns found on boats; so I often focus on smaller aspects of the bigger picture. This day was a little different as my eyes were constantly drawn to the boat reflections in the water. Often harbor water is not the cleanest (I should know because I once found myself swimming in harbor water, but that’s a whole other story…you can ask my husband about it). But this day, the harbor water was a brilliant and beautiful blue.
A change of pace and a few more favorites

There was no school yesterday. There is no school today, and there will be no school tomorrow.
Yes, there is a smile on my face! I think we stayed in our pjs yesterday until 3:00 in the afternoon – nice!
I am making progress on Leah’s photos; here are a few of my favorites so far.
Leah likes jewelry (so does her mom).
Leah’s mom says that Leah loves to raid her bedside jewelry box.
Friends “pie”

Over the weekend, we did a bit of baking together, my boys and I.
My youngest was helping me bake cookies when my eldest said he was going to write a recipe for “friends pie.” He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began to write. As he was writing, he told us about a book called Enemy Pie that his teacher read out-loud in class on Friday.
He said he was going to use two of his favorite ingredients in his recipe – bananas and oreos.
Too much computer time?

These past two weeks have been busy…daily life plus fabulous photos sessions and lots of computer time.
What tells me I’ve been at the computer too long?
Definitely difficult to ignore.

Warning – longer post ahead! I could have done a slide-show format, but I wanted a little commentary.

Here are a few more photos…you’ll notice that his monkey pjs and friend are absent, but those cute expressions are still there!
