March's Self Portrait

Whew! I barely made this month's self challenge!

Me and my little lady.

Right after waking from her nap.



Love, love, love her!

Pothead

Well . . .

maybe not exactly what you were thinking . . . .



but fun, none-the-less.

Have a wonderful week!

Home

Even though the sunset from our hotel room was spectacular



and I got to eat bread (and all other forms of carbohydrates as well - yum)



and the transportation system was so foreign and different that it was fun



and the architecture was simply beautiful



and the view from Central Park just can't be beat . . . .



It was beyond words nice to come HOME to this . . .




A little bit of pretend sleeping that these little guys just had to join.

By the way, this started because my boy wanted to take a picture of me while I was "sleeping" ("You close your eyes, Momma"). Dirck helped him hold the camera, and he pushed the button. My little lady joined in, and then my boy couldn't stand it any longer and decided he wanted to play. . . all the while telling his daddy to "take another picture."

It really is good to be home!

I Heart Faces: "Focusing on Angles" Challenge

Shot from down on the ground so I could get that wonderful sunshine . . . .

and that wonderful little lady too.



To see more photos with different or unique angles, head on over to iheartfaces.

Birthday

Exactly one year ago today, I started this little blog-o-mine. I started it as a way to chronicle my families' lives and to force myself to document all the small things that I love about them and being a mother in general.

So far . . . so good.

Happy 1 year Birthday, little blog-o-mine!

Also, it's my birthday today . . . . AND the husband and I are in NYC having an amazingly wonderful time eating anything we want and walking the city streets.

There is a LONG story to go with this image, but I'm just gonna say that it's a lovely birthday greeting from our hotel to yours truly.

Seriously, the weather here is killer! I'm going to try to go out today to take some pictures of the city.

Enjoy your weekend!

Bed Heads

Messy bed hair is the best on a little one.



Don't you think?

Have a great day!
