Silhouettes

Just when you're in awe that someone

can build a business in her "spare" time while on

duty in Afghanistan, 

she comes back and starts

creating these beauties as well on her Etsy site for only $12.

splish, splash

family fun

what a great time we have every Easter.

when my Maw Maw Naomi was alive,

she made a coconut cake with a chocolate chicken

on top.  

(I actually remember a rooster.  Perhaps the chickens were sold out?)

My mom continues the tradition.

the boys wait (im)patiently for their gifts

too cool

 There is always fun and games involved including an egg toss.  

I *LOVE* the adult expressions.

baby love

oh, sweet baby!

how beautiful this child is.

and if you can't live without the sweet blanket,

you can find it here.

neighbors

I wanted to get these two together so that when, 

14 years from now, 

they are prepping for proms,

we can pull this out and "remember when"

Here's to hoping they are more cooperative in future years.

springtime fun!

I stepped out of my box and let the kids

make a complete mess.

(not that they don't normally make a mess.  it is just that I'm normally unaware at the moment.)

not that I'm a neat freak, clearly.

I just hate cleaning.

indoor mess, no. outdoor mess, yes!

and yes. the car is still dirty.

oh well.

a celebration

Friday I photographed a

celebration of 30 years in business.

The event was held at the Baton Rouge Country Club.
