My Nana and Papa.

I just stumbled upon a new photo challenge over at Happy Monday. This week there is no specific theme. Just something that makes you happy.

These are my grandparents. They make me happy. I'm happy that at 33 I still have 3 of my 4 grandparents. I'm happy that I still get to see my Nana and Papa almost every week. I'm happy that my girls have been able to spend time with their great grandparents. I'm happy that I have the family I do.

Finger Prints

The photo challenge this week over at Paper Mama is fingerprints. I posted really cool sandy hands pictures last week but I wanted to try to find something new. Isabelle was playing with her window gels this afternoon when I got this shot from the other side of the door. It's no wonder everything in my house is covered in fingerprints!

Fall is just around the corner!

Fall is my favorite time of year. And now that the air is getting a little crisper and the days a little cooler, I thought I would pull out a few of my favorites from last fall. Please keep in mind this is well before I knew anything about my camera and was shooting in full auto! But it just goes to show that sometimes it's not about your equipement or your skills. It's just about capturing a moment.

Bounce!

I love these pictures of Isabelle bouncing on her bed. This was right after we got home from her first day at preschool last year. I can't believe how much bigger she's gotten in the last year!



Have a bouncy Monday everyone!

Sisters, Sisters...

I've been meaning for weeks to participate in Flashback Fridays over at Christopher and Tia. After all, I see all my other cool photography friends doing it and I'm all about what the cool kids are doing. But Fridays are usually a busy day around here, so I'm going to try my best to post them on Thur nights.

I took this photo almost 12 months ago. My girls were enjoying throwing every stuffed animal they had into Isabelle's bed. (I'm ashamed to admit that since I took this last October the number of stuffed animals in our house has most likely tripled. I'm fairly certain they are getting busy while we sleep!) I somehow talked the girls into getting in the bed with all their animals for a picture or two.



It was only after I put the photos on my camera that I realized I had seen this picture before. I dug through my baby book and there it was. My baby sister and I some 27 years earlier.



All I can say is that I'm glad I have my sister. And I'm glad my girls have each other.

Happy Friday!
