Spring, A Lot Late

I was looking around on my computer this morning and found a video that I started this spring that I never posted, or at least I don't think I did.  There's such a contrast between it and  THIS one.

That's why I love the seasons...there's beauty in each one. I'm starting to see and smell signs of fall around here, which is good, because I'm pretty much over summer.

Spring Treasures...

We visited my mom and dad's farm over the weekend.  The beauty of spring surrounded us.  From birds to broccoli it all looked gorgeous.  I'm amazed every single year when it all comes back to life. Surreal...

Winter at the Farm

I got to go to my mom and dad's for a little while this weekend.  I took Happy Feet there so she could spend some time with her Nana and Papa.  She was super excited about it.  I'm kind of excited about it too.  Don't get me wrong, I will miss her like crazy...but there's so many things I'm hoping to get done.  Working on photo albums, cleaning out closets...the the things she can make a little lot harder...in her two year old, curious way. 

She got to go to the Children's Museum with her cousins, aunt and uncle and Nana and Papa today. I called tonight and mom said she had a great time.  The only thing I'm concerned about is her (and therefore my mom & dad) not sleeping well.  She's a bit of a night roamer. 

This morning I went outside and snapped some pictures of my mom and dad's farm.  I've never taken too many winter pictures.  It's never been my favorite season, yet it felt so good to be outside capturing the beauty of my childhood home.  Here's a little video of what I got. 


I'm signed up to take a photography class. I'm pretty excited about it.  I love learning new things, and boy do I have a lot to learn.  For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm able to start exploring some interests again...it's really nice.

Have a great week!

A Perfect Autumn Afternoon for Pictures

Over the weekend my husband got me a new camera. It's my Christmas present.  Maybe I'll actually have it figured out by then.  I'm so excited about learning how to use it and pursuing a new hobby.  He's so sweet...I'm a lucky girl.

Today was a beautiful day.  The kids didn't think naps seemed like a good idea, and I agreed.  For today only though.  I packed them up and took them to the park.  I wanted to experiment with my new camera anyway.  I grabbed the Bumbo seat out of the attic for Swoosh.  He's finding that interesting.  I think he's still hard to photograph in a group setting though.   Here's some pictures from the afternoon.

The Family Visits the Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend the entire family visited the pumpkin patch.  You know how when you get those brochures for a vacation and it looks so serene and lovely...then you get there and you are with like 100,000 other people?  That's what this was like.  Good concept, just way too many people.  We promised the kids a tractor ride, but when we got there and actually saw the line to buy tickets we had to renig.  We took in the animals and looked at some of the pumpkins though.
