simple inspiration

another basic grey

baby sage

A mini album created for Basic Grey.

makes me wonder

Seeing this expression always make me wonder what is going through his beautiful little mind. He's constantly moving and getting into trouble. He's planning something.

Little man has some very swollen bottom gums.  He likes to try out his new teeth on everyone and everything.

Yes, they are both still in their onesies. They might be all week... sheepish giggle.

Sunday

Hoping to spend some time in study and reflection.  Something I need to remember to do everyday. If I can spend a few quiet moments studying, reflecting, writing in my journal and just listening I am different person the entire day. I'm more tolerate and patient. I have balance and peace. The most surprising is that my enormous "to do" list always seems to be accomplished.

adore these simple interchanges

Saturday

I plan on doing NOTHING today.

All of my family is home, after tennis camp and girls camp, etc. We are all home. It's so nice.  I also plan on doing NOTHING because I'm still trying to get over a bit of summertime pneumonia. Lame huh?  How does someone get pneumonia in the middle of the summer when it's 95+ degrees outside.

We watched Penelope last night... it was delightful!!! Such a great movie to watch with my girls.

can this smile be anymore forced?! 

Yesterday he asked, "Mom?  Is it fun having white skin?"
I didn't know how to answer. I told him that I'd never thought about it much. It was just skin and the only kind of skin I've ever had. 

I asked him, "Son, is it fun having brown skin?" (mostly trying to figure out where his little mind was going with this conversation).

His eyes lit up as he replied, "Yep, LOTS!" and he ran from the room wanting to join in the game that was happening around the corner.  His happy enthusiasm continues to make me smile. 

Happy Saturday.

Friday

I need to spend the day cleaning off all my desks. I have piles of stuff everywhere waiting to be filed or put away. I have to admit that I really like organizing things so it should be a very satisfying day for me.

Watching his siblings playing outside. He would love to be out there with them, but he hates the feeling of the grass. Just a minor setback.

Thursday

I'm going to make time to work on this quilt!  I don't know when, but I'm still feeling a bit sick and I'm looking for a nice slow day.

Loved his expression here.

Wednesday

How does this happen so quickly? I turn my back and it piles up! This is our main task today.

such a lovely sunset last night....

Tuesday

Today's main activity involves driving the girls up into the mountains for a girls camp.

Spent part of yesterday watching Whit overcome herself to win her match.  The more I learn about tennis the more I think it's the perfect sport.

Monday

Looked into a few digital kits this weekend and I'm loving the photo edges available. It's probably old news to everyone else, but I've always been a little slow.

I'm going to play with Sande's weekday edges this week in a simple... "what I'm doing this week". Photograph the day's main activity (aside from the children)

Starting in the studio today, finishing up a few things for CHA. Can't wait to post a few things I've been able to work on.

I want to use Sande's monthly edges and photograph our door or something each month. Wouldn't that be a fun little album.
