the girlies:)

the woke up the other day and put on their dresses
flew out the door to ride bikes
hair unbrushed
dotties whizzing by
glorious summer morning

it was a monday and we were having a break from school

the go-carting pics are from some time last week
Blu has taken off her training wheels and
has quickly mastered her new skill
already doing tricks too!
taking after MJ
she is standing up on her pedals
putting her feet up on her bar
while gliding down hill

I shut my eyes and pray she doesn't crash
when she stops she can't really touch so she jumps off her bike
everytime

too funny

she is the 2nd earliest rider
MJ started riding without training wheels at 3 and a half
little blu is four and a bit
and just as risky

i love it!!!

My heart loves this image

she is daring and risky and has no fear
but people, including me
forgets there is a tender heart inside
and has feelings
and they do get hurt

she is strong and silent
and loves helping little ones
she loves to be included
and loves doing her own thing

this image stopped my heart

time is going too fast
I am so thankful I am home with her
I wouldn't trade a minute!

computer broken

not sure how long it will be until i return:(

Trees in the hood

just in and around my neighborhood
yesterday

I can't stop staring at the trees
texture
and shape
and patterns and symmetry

I am loving the look
of the richness around me

I should of had one of my kiddies
stand beside some of these
monsters to add perspective

they are huge!
and powerful.....

My dear friends' babette:)

ok, tell me she isn't the cutest!!!

I seriously could watch her
suck on her little toy all day!

love you my friend!

Big above the bed

she says

I love big photographs

especially big above the bed!
dreamy sigh

collages and galleries
make my heart happy

I am in awe at ladies
who can pick photos
and frame them and display them
in such inspirational ways

I just dream of doing it

it never actually happens
because I am not organized enough
or maybe I am not busy enough
because I find when I am less busy
less gets done

I can feel H.H. rolling his eyes
at me making excuses:)

A new little fav!

super delish cousins

yum yum!

too bad they live soooooooooo
far away,
we miss them so much!
