last one of the year

Well, I made it through a year of taking photos and more importantly posting them ~almost daily.  I think I've gotten better over the year, what do you think?

I know that in the beginning it was easier to post, but as the year went by it was harder to keep posting wondering if anyone would or wanted to see them, than after awhile I decided that it didn't matter, I would keep posting for the people who did want to see my photos.  Not going out with a bang or a whimper just a cool looking photo of Domo and my Nelyn Bear, two things that mean something to me.

It's been a interesting year trying to find something to photograph and next year I hope to keep my photo blog going.  Maybe not the same or as much, we'll see.  Time will tell.  Thank you all for checking out my blog.

snowmen on my mantel

I think it's kind of funny that I like to put snowmen on my mantel in Georgia when we don't get much snow and it's a fireplace.  ~Get it?  Frosty surely would melt.  LOL~  But then I guess it gives me thoughts of cold winter snowy days of my youth up in Michigan.

tree dancers again

Stopped at a stop light, look over at the dancing children sculpture and noticed bright red Santa hats on just a few.  This is the second time I used the tree dancers as a photo of the day 11 months ago.

 Reading about fussy babies and what to do to get them to less fussy.

out my back window

Looking out my back window there is still snow on the grown from Christmas day....but not for long.  Had to take a photo before it is all gone.  Ahhhh snow in Georgia just doesn't stay long.  Don't know if it's good or bad,,,it just is.

Day after Christmas

T wasn't so lucky with one of her Christmas presents, getting a cold for Christmas is no fun.  Here she is the day after still in her jammies and pillow pet that she got for Christmas, chilling out on the couch watching whatever what on TV.  Poor baby, doesn't this just make you want to pick her up and cuddle her?

White Christmas in GA

It was a white Christmas in Georgia.  It hasn't snowed on Christmas day in over 100 years!  Edd thought it was great!  She couldn't wait to get out and play in it...I've been watching neighbors' animals and I let her come with me this evening, but before we got there she had to play in the white stuff.  She couldn't believe what great fun snow was; a snow ball fight, making snow angels, catching snow flakes on her tongue...that is until she got too cold.  ;-)~   What a great Christmas present for a 5 yr old.  I hope she keeps this memory for a long time.

red apron and skirt

a last minute presents for Edd who likes red.

Long and tiring day for two little kiddos and Vito.  Long, long day.

Dec 21

Christmas party in my 3 yr old class.  playing jingle bells for us parents....oh so sweet!

Dec 21

watching the fire

sitting in front of a fire can be so relaxing, makes you forget about the hard day you've had....but than how hard of a day can a 3 yr old have?

Dec 19

 Edd drew this picture and placed on the tree, not sure why but it looked really neat so I took a photo of it and made it the picture of the day.

Dec 19

no peeking

Edd got something in the mail and I won't let her open it yet, she has to wait until Christmas morning.  I know it'll be worth the wait!

Dec 18

funky lights

I put my tree up and it looked good, but wait what that half the lights aren't working.  The top and bottom of the tree isn't lit up.  WTH! how'd that happen?  Guess I need to go out and get more Christmas lights...sigh

2 of the 7 dwarfs

In just a matter of seconds baby Henry went from sleepy to grumpy in a 0-.5 with just a flash.  Ah-oh he better get use to it.  hehehe

Dec 16

welll okay

I guess what ever was on TV was more interesting then playing with the blocks.

Dec 15

wonder why they turned it off

You think maybe it was a bit too cold out?  Going into the hospital it was on, than a couple hours later it was turned off.  Go figure.

Dec 14

how big?

Sooo big!...well maybe not that big, only 20 inches long and almost 8lb, but still a nice size baby none the less.

you could say we like coffee in this house.  Yes there are 4 different types of coffee makers. :-P

Dec 11

T went to a birthday party and has so much fun with her biggest sister and Matt.  As Matt and T were coming in the door Matt was trying to take T's sucker from her without using his hands...lots of giggling from both of them because if it.

Dec 10

My daughter Edd wanted me to take a photo of us together, again.  She had so much fun the other day when we did it that she wanted to do it again.  Why not, it doesn't hurt to get your photo taken even if you are use to being behind the camera.  You can even see T in the background looking at the camera too.

Dec 9

Another blurry one.  I tried to take a couple photos of T and Vito the one I really wanted to come out didn't and the other one he moved before I could get it into focus.  Oh well you get the picture, he's not that happy to be loved on.  LOL

Dec 8

things have been a bit odd at the house in the last week or so, that's really why I haven't been updating my blog.  Now that things have calm down a bit I think I'll be able to make sure that I update for the rest of the year.

Here is some horses as I was driving by on rt 372, I just didn't want to stop the car to take a photo of them.

new baby boy

My grandson was born 12/13/10 at 10:13am.   It was love at first sight for all around.

just me and my girls

wanted to put this on I (heart) faces for their self portrait contest and I don't know if I can make it in time.  I had so much fun shooting with my girls, but this is the one that turned out good of just me (and the cool thing is I didn't even need to crop it).  The others are just silly......  Ahhh well I didn't make it in time, but this is my newest self portrait and some of the extras of today since I was able to come back and add more.

baby it's cold out

this is the way I been feeling like for a few days.  Too cold for me without any snow to go with the cold.

Dec 6

our Christmas tree

We put up our Christmas tree to day, the girls had a great time putting ornaments on the tree...in just a couple spots.  The questions that I have is why do kid put all the ornaments at one level and in bunches?  I took a photo of them in bunch before I put them all over the tree and one after.

Dec 5

Eggplant Parmigiana

My oldest daughter is due any day now and she been trying just about everything to get the baby out.  The latest thing was eggplant parmigiana...and if I have to say so myself it was good.  She got the recipe from  Scalini's Free Italian Restaurant it's in Smyrna, GA.  They have a page called "mothers to be" that has the recipe to help make labor start 48 hours. But alas no baby yet!  It was really good anyway. 

Dec 4

painted tootsies

Painted tootsies, blue and red tootsies and a little drink to help it along or just having a 5 yr old do their own can make it a bit messy.

Dec 3

Nash Rambler on Rt 372

For sale! It's a cute little car and I would love to own it, but I don't think I could afford it.  It's a Nash Rambler, you might have heard the song beep beep by The Playmates done in 1956, if not it's worth a little to it's a cute little song.

Dec 2

it's being to look like christmas

You know, when I take my camera with me where ever I go I see things that are  really cool and the great thing is I can take photos of it.  This is on the way to Jasper, up on a hill at a place to buy antiques and "stuff,"  too cute and since I was at a long red light I was able to roll down the window and snap a few photos.

Dec 1

tree in a parking lot

Was on the way to school this morning when I look to my left and WOW! look at that tree in the parking lot.  I've seen it before, but since it was really foggy out it make it look even bigger, cooler and a bit more eerier.

ETI

Not sure what it really means but aren't they cool looking?  My dear Hubby made them for work for some project that they've been working on.

red room

Red, red, red!!!  If you haven't figured it out yet by all the red Edd wears....Edd likes red.  So I decided to paint their room red...and white.  Here it is half way through.  If I do say so myself it turned out great.

Nov 28

baby it's cold out!

The day before it was in the mid 70's and this day it got down in the mid 30's.   Got to give these ladies some kudos for being outside with their sons and grandsons while they played.  The funny thing is the boys didn't have coats on. I guess if you're not a 5-6 yr old boy you don't need a coat to stay warm outside.

Nov 27

stuff on the table

My son and daughter-in-law forgot to pack up the baby rattle in the diaper bag.  I don't know what the scissors and baby fork doing on the table but hey it made a good picture.

Nov 26

after Thanksgiving dinner

What's a better way to end a day of eating a big dinner, but then a glass of wine with good company?

Nov 25

Domo again

Saw him just hanging out by my computer and wanted to take a shot of him.....hmmmmm where to shot him.  here?  here?  here?  NO HERE!  I guess since I didn't take the other photos you can't see the other places where I thought to shot my little friend.  On my fireplace mantel with a little cow, a picture of some trees and a couple of candles.

Is that a bag on a dog's head?

So it seems that dogs like popcorn, or at least Vito does.  Some how he found the bag that the microwave popcorn was in and wanted to get to the bottom of the bag....unfortunately he got his head stuck.  I don't think he really cared too much until he licked out all the butter up.  It was too funny to see him standing there with the bag on his head for a good 5 minutes.  Next time we'll have to remember to make sure the bag gets in the trash after eating all the popcorn.  LOL
