I had a great time the other night going out for my first Senior Session of the season! I absolutely LOVE seniors! This handsome guy is my neighbor and so great in front of the camera! He’s just a few days from graduation and I wish him all the best!
Here’s a pic of my little man practicing writing his name! I don’t know how soothing it is for him, but he doesn’t seem to mind the repetition. He is doing such a great job in Kindergarten this year. I’m so proud!
Week 4 – “Soothing Repetition”
This week’s challenge was harder than I thought it would be. I ended up not really coming up with a “Shades of Gray” picture idea. I did however come up with a picture from this week.
My oldest was in her very first ever Spelling Bee this week. She has been studying for weeks and was doing really well. I have to say though…picture yourself as a fourth grader in a room full of fellow students and nervous parents, not to mention the 5 judges over to one side, and try to spell a word. It was crazy! She manage to get through 2 rounds and then got stumped on the third round with the word, “recommend”. She thought it was two “c’s”. She was terribly upset at herself and was crying, but I was super proud of her! It takes a lot of guts to get up there and try something like that. I was sweating just watching the whole thing go down. So, here is a picture of her doing her thang!
I realize the “shades of gray” thing doesn’t really go, but whatever…it’s going to have to work for this week.
Week 3 – “Shades of Gray”
How cute is he? Andy man was super helpful to me this week for my newest challenge.
My week 2 image from my project 52 challenge had to be inspired by a song. I chose “Splish Splash” by Bobby Darin.
Week 2 – Inspired by a Song
A challenge. Everyone needs one, right?
I’ve finally decided to try out this Project 52 thing. I’m taking it on with MCP Actions since they will be giving me the theme for each week. Here’s hoping I can keep up with this challenge. Wish me luck!
Here is Week 1: Something around the house
We had a great Christmas this year! My family came into town and we had a great time playing games, talking, going to the movies and just enjoying each other’s company. The kids woke up to tons of goodies under the tree. Our oldest got a guitar and has been spending a lot of her down time learning as much about it as possible. It’s nice to have an in-home guitar teacher. My middle daughter racked up 4 or 5 of these “learn to sew” projects and has turned out to be really good at it. My son, well…..he spends most of his time playing his new DSi or coming in 1st place on his new Mario Cart game.
Me? I got lots of great things this year but the most memorable has to be my new 20-70mm lens…..mug? Yeah, that’s right. My hubby thought it would be funny to surprise me with what looks just like a new lens, but instead is a mug. What? Where he finds these things is beyond me. It made for a good laugh on Christmas morning.
It’s now New Year’s Eve. I need to sit down and write out a list of my new year goals and aspirations. In the meantime, I’m just enjoying my blessings. I hope you all have a great New Year filled with many blessings!
