happy weekend to you! i've been busy, and last night i found myself washing harp's hair with one hand and eating a slice of pizza with the other ... i noticed it, and quickly disregarded it. the days fly, is it really almost august?! and i keep thinking it's still spring ... and i have weeds galore ... oh, well. at least i have this to look at -- we sure do have nice sunsets here :)
i hope that when my kids grow up they know how much they're loved. how each time i look at them i want to document it, so they always remember it. i hope they don't just think i'm a crazy psycho mom who works all the time and is always in their face with a camera ... i hope they realize it's because of my obsession not only with my camera, but also with them ... such sweeties i have and so do all of you. it's such an honor to photograph your babes. i promise to update my blog this weekend with some crazy cute kids! we've been playing and running and eating Popsicles, lots of fun stuff.
sometimes don't we all just need a little time-out? sometimes it just takes someone else telling us to just sit a bit .... jae was mother hen to me last night. i'm a little under the weather and she tucked, tucked, tucked ... *made* me put on my pj's and promise to go straight to bed, no work! i listened to her. and then i woke to sweet harp gently squeezing my cheeks and giving me a kiss on my cheek (because we've both got the same bug.) my kids make me melt.
i also had to temporarily put work on time-out this week. my hard drive was FULL. i was forced to purge some files, which was a task that i've been avoiding for quite some time. i was ... oh ... around 2 years behind on making personal prints. yes, two years!! i still don't have harp's 18 mos pix in my hands yet! i guess that when you're going thru a divorce with an almost one year old and almost 4 year old, that's what happens. things got crazy. work takes over .... work/kids/work/kids .... and that's it. but i was happy to see that i *took* alot of photos in the past two+ years. a LOT of pix. and i finally sent them into the lab and should be able to sort thru them next week. it will be fun!!
so, as i weeded thru pix, i came across these (more recent) pix that i had been ignoring ...
miss A in time-out at her great gramma's house. i wanted to take so many more pix of her in this room, but she was in time-out, and i didn't want to mess that up ...
blowing bubbles ...
giving loves ...
yep, we've been hanging a lot with miss A. alisha and i used to say that they *had* to be best friends, to keep the trend going. she and i have been friends forever, and her mom and my mom are best friends, and have been since they were kids! i think these two will keep the trend going, no problem :)
this? i nearly peed my pants when i unloaded these photos. this is just to much. harp has his arm around miss B and look at her sweet face. even cuter, look at his face!!
more pix from our visit to the IMA
HAPPY 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have a safe and happy weekend!!!
