Today I am combining my weekly Give Me Your Best Shot with Cecily’s Photostory Friday. In my opinion, it’s a perfect combination. Plus, I really, really like Cecily. She’s one of my favorite computer friends. So….speaking of friends….Moms are allowed to have play dates, right? My favorite toy is my camera….and today my friend came [...]
Drip. Drip. Drip. We’re thawing. Slowly. My van is still stuck behind an ever-growing pile of snow. I think the pile is now as high as the van. I am not moving it myself, no matter how badly I want to leave the house. Now it’s your turn. What did you do this week? For [...]
This week, AJ and I picked up our friend, Butterfly, and headed to the Resource Center. The following is my favorite picture from our day there. Butterfly painted a very colorful picture of herself. ….while AJ spent the majority of his time at his favorite table (the play dough). I am glad that we got [...]
I think my 4 year old son may have met future wife. I had a vision of an older AJ and his little (girl)friend when she and her big brother, AJ’s best friend, were over at our house this week. By the way, I am just as smitten with this little girl as AJ is. [...]
Every once in a while, I look back at a week’s worth of photos and think, “Well, that was a boring week.” I had that experience today while I looked through this week’s shots on my computer. The fact is, I shared most of my interesting images throughout the week. And those weren’t exciting enough [...]

I remember one evening vividly. I was driving back from afternoon Chinese school with my best friend (who [...]
Since this is my carnival, I can make up my own rules every once in a while, right? I have been itching to share a few more of the pictures from our Christmas trip to Florida. I’ve posted a few here and there, but there were so many more that I wanted to share. And [...]
Happy New Year! I’ve been sitting here pondering deep thoughts to share with you for the new year, but I’m afraid today is not a day for deep thoughts from me. Maybe Monday. I do, however, have a favorite photo for you. This picture was taken on Christmas day, on the beach in Florida. Necco [...]
It wasn’t hard to pick my favorite shot of the week. A friend of mine came over with her 3 kids….some of the cutest kids on the planet who don’t have the same last name as me, as a matter of fact. Who can resist hair this color…and the CURLS? This particular shot caught my [...]
My Christmas present came in the mail yesterday. I am itching to test it a little more, but today was filled with Christmas shopping–my first trip out, believe it or not. What came in the mail, you ask? The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Macro lens. Amazing stuff. I happened on an incredible deal on a used [...]
