Just living life...
The weather has been just gorgeous lately... PERFECT autumn!! My kind of weather.
We went to the American Girl doll store on Saturday with my SIL & nieces... I LOVE it there. I got Madalynn's Christmas present, and I don't know if I'll be able to wait the 3 months until Christmas to give it to her... I just love their dolls.
Yesterday was Sunday which means football, and I must say my Patriots have me nervous. I'm keeping the faith though that their defense will find it's groove, and Tom Brady will get back into his zone. In Bill we trust!!
Madalynn was all decked out for the day, and learned the sign for touchdown (although she didn't need it as the Patriots never saw the end zone).
More playing with my camera, and a daughter who will NOT cooperate.
LOOOOK at the Buddah belly!!!!
She's getting so expressive, and I don't know how many times a day I hear 'Whatch you doin Mummy?'. Last night I was getting her ready for bed, and realized I'd forgotten to buy bigger onesies earlier that day at Target, and I said
"Oh, Mommy forget to get you onesies today at Target"
To which she responded by cocking her head, and saying "Its OK Mummy", and giving me a hug. I hope she's always so forgiving of my mistakes.
Then another night after getting her jammies on, she stood up on the changing table, took both my hands with hers, and said 'Nice a meach you', and then we both got belly laughing. Her goofy spirit makes me laugh everyday.
She is also VERY good at being 2, and has an uncanny ability NOT to listen. Which does try my patience at times in ways I didn't expect, but it's all part of parenting which is 100% on the job training. Thank goodness for 'Supernanny', and her tips!! I pray I can balance her boundaries without crushing her spirit. Lord give me wisdom.
We will never forget.... thank you to all who ran toward danger that day, and all who continue to do so today... freedom isn't free.
(I'd post a pic of my ACTUAL camera, but I don't have one & don't have the energy right now to go take one, and upload it & post, so this stock photo will have to do). Anyway... I've enjoyed photography since elementary school. It was one hobby my grandfather & I shared. I'll never forget him teaching me about composition... lessons I've carried with me my whole life. I have some of his old cameras too that are treasures to me. So I've always loved photography, but the last year and half my photos have been all about Madalynn, and they will continue to be, but often times at events I've been so distracted with her that I haven't had time to take pictures like I used to. Let alone take some of my still life, architecture, landscapes, etc. For whatever reason the last few weeks my passion has come back, and I'm LOVING it.
