A New Month for Photos!

I have here the first week of photos for February. This week has been a busy one with very little time or energy to be get creative but I managed to get a photo every day.

February 1

Sara playing in her favorite spot, in front of the french doors. She has dozens of toys to play with but today she preferred the big plastic spoon and a cake pan...what noisy fun she had!

Be still my heart, this boy is so gorgeous! Andrew is pretending to play me a song, he is my Guitar Hero.

This past week I spent my evenings with lots of grandkids. Their daddy is in Western Kentucky somewhere with the National Guard, mommy is at work. At bathtime I saw that Tyler still has his Froggy towel, a little worn but he still loves it...he has had it for years! When he was 3 or so I took some photos of him with the froggy hood on his head after a bath one time when I was visiting. Anyway, it also reminded me of this little poly-plastic statuette I have and the name on the bottom is actually "Tyler the Frog". I thought I would photograph it, just so that this little story is in my scrapbook for the kids to read someday.

By Wednesday I was starting to feel the exhaustion setting in. The kids are so good and fun, but working full time during the day and then being gone all evening was wearing on me. But it's just a temporary thing, and as tired as I was I still looked forward to seeing them every day. I had Sara with me most of the time too, baby girl makes 5! Dealing with the bitter cold made it so difficult, and a major task to get food, diapers, etc. packed and anything else I might need for the evening, then get Sara and her car seat installed in the back seat of my 2 door car with piles of ice still on each side of the parking places in our apartment complex. Then I had to unload it all once we got to Tammy's house, and do it all in reverse when it was time to go home. Whew! Ok, after all that here is my next photo. I saw the sun breaking through some clouds just as I was getting Sara out of the car at Tammy's house and it was so pretty. I had only a few seconds to get Sara indoors, open my camera bag and run back outside to snap a photo. Already the scene had changed but that's ok, I needed this one. Sweet, sweet sunshine! even if it was just for a moment!

Sometimes I get to spoil myself with little treats that make me smile. Awhile back I ordered this gorgeous set of salt and pepper grinders from Pampered Chef...love them!


February 6
This is my favorite coffee/tea mug...lovingly made by Chris, Tyler, Andrew, and Meikina...with their mother's help. They gave this to me on my 50th birthday and I just love it so much! You can even see Meikina's little handprint on one side of it. I took two different photos but still failed to get Tyler's signature on there. Here is my mug shot.


February 7
Past due for a new photo of myself...ugh. I need a haircut. I hate doing this but it was time, so here is one more "mug" shot. Thank goodness for photoshop! LOL!
