Avery exposed

To continue practicing my photography, we got Avery out running along the sidewalk. She was happy to do so (if you have been following my latest facebook info). I've been practicing the rule of 3rds quite a bit, trying for new angles. It does get harder during the recent mobile phase, as others have warned me. Okay, we are getting ready to go on our first trip away sans Avery. Nervous but excited!! Ofcourse this whole week has been Avery focused - today it's the library and pool. And ofcourse I am taking her to the beach for a whole week later in August. So she'll be in heaven since she LOVES the beach. Stay tuned for some pics of baby Owen, pics of our trip and more stuff!

Just because I love the close up so much I did a different post processing! Love it!

Thankful Thursday

Heidi's Hat

This gorgeous hat was made by Heidi, a very talented seemstress in my mom's group. I picked out the fabric and she designed it. Oh and with my leftover fabric ~ she designed a dress ~ how cool is that? I'll keep you posted when her business is fully up & running!

Sitting Pretty

I won't lie, it's been a difficult week for everyone. Transitional time for the whole family with me going back to work, emotional struggle for my friend {previous post}, myself, and my mom group, and the weather is just making it difficult to get anything done. Here are some shots I took this week. The first one is done w/ an urban action from coffeeshop's color pop found Here. The second 2 have Mindy's Lights action applied. With Avery's new found skill in sitting up this is ALL she wants to do lately; that and eat paper - the obsession continues! So we play with blocks, stack them so she can knock them down. And we read books - alot. It's one of her favorite past times since she likes to turn the pages. I know Mouse Cookie by heart :) And she's gotten lots of extra hugs & kisses this week; it's been well deserved and needed. She'll be back to posting soon; she's just too busy sitting up to be bothered.
