Project 52 {week twenty three} -the little guy and a rusty wagon
The little guy had been sick, so he got to stay home, even though he felt better...*but* he was in the mood for a little bribery induced photo shoot. A rare occasion these days, so I took full advantage of it!
Excuse the image heavy post, but I just couldn't narrow it down. I love them all! And, besides, he might not pose for me for awhile.

Project 52 {week twenty two} - Just in time for summer?
The littlest berry pie has been a bit under the weather, so to cheer her up, I finished her new blanket. Yes...I know it's summer, but hey...it's always a good time to get a handmade blanket from mommy.
Anyways, it turned out GREAT! And, as an added bonus, I think this post gets me caught up to the right week! LOL

Project 52 {week twenty one} - NOLA
I went to ASM for work last week in New Orleans. The weather was oppressive...SO hot and SO humid. Needless to day, lugging around my camera was not at the top of my priority list, but I did take a few snaps. =)
It was great to see old friends again...to catch-up and hang out. I absolutely LOVED seeing Diana again and we spent half the time bitching about the joys of 4 year old boys...but we also had a GREAT time! =) Diana - I miss you and Mark and the kids so much and I can't wait to see you all again soon! Here is a snap of us from her camera at the cemetery.
Of course, no trip to NOLA is complete without breakfast at Cafe' Du Monde, to which I went with JC and Andrea. We then walked around a bit and I made the love-birds pose for a photo for me (which I'll post on my pro blog)...*still* working on getting them to book a family session ;) *hint* *hint*
A few snaps from the French Quarter and the Garden District....again, I was too hot and lazy to take many pics and now I'm being even more lazy to even upload most of them...but here are a couple of fun ones.

Project 52 {week twenty} - The snake story
I know I posted Nicholas' finding on FB, but I've been asked a lot about the details, so I thought I'd also post here.
We were getting ready for our day...I had a photo shoot and then planned to take the kids to a birthday party for Lois. Nicholas usually makes a cute little birthday card, so we went downstairs to get some scrapbooking supplies and to be honest, my crafty space is a bit of a disaster area. There are a lot of bags of yarn and other supplies from various projects that I haven't bothered to put away. Ok...getting side tracked. Anyways, the point is that to say that it's a bit messy is an understatement. So, we're downstairs getting some paper and some punches and stuff and Nicholas said "Why is there a snake?"
I said "It's not a snake, it's probably just some yarn"
Nicholas was uber calm and said "No, mommy, it's a snake and it's moving"
Thankfully, he was calm, so I stayed calm and just told him to go upstairs and get daddy and then I proceeded to start moving things to make it easier to get him out. As I was clearing the area, I could hear Nicholas yelling to Mike to come down and get the snake. Then I heard Mike say it isn't a real snake and Nicholas assure him that it was, in fact a REAL snake. To which Mike replied "Nicholas, if there were a real snake down there, then mommy would also be up here screaming". HA...what little faith he has, LOL...but he's probably to my reacting to spiders, so he just assumed snakes would also freak me out. Nope...it's a leg thing...I don't like creatures with more legs than I have...snakes have NO legs, therefore...totally not scary. =) Getting sidetracked again....So...Mike came down, excised the uber strong snake from my mesh target cube storage racks and put him in a mesh trash can. Then, like the proper photographer and geek that I am, I grabbed my camera and went to work on Wikipedia for an identification. Our little visitor turned out to be a bull snake...not venomous and actually keeps the mouse popuulation down, so we let him loose in field behind the house. I took the kids and went to the birthday party and a bit later, the visitor decided to make himself comfortable in the middle of the yard...ok...I'm completely good with him hunting mice in the field, but, I kinda don't want him in the yard since the kids were very interested in him and Claire is tiny enough that he could swallow her whole....so Mike picked him up again and took him a bit closer to the reservoir.
So....now, the pics....Don't scroll down if you don't want to see them. Consider this your fair warning and I've certainly included plenty of text to prevent the shock of close up pics of the snake...so again...if you don't like snakes...DON'T look =)

Project 52 {week nineteen} - getting ready for summer!
I've been so busy with work and photography that I've sadly neglected my Project 52, so in an attempt to catch up, I'll start with some cute ones of the berry pie and a relatively new prop...my uber cute vintage tricycle.
