It actually snowed today! Quite a bit . . . like 2 inches. That's a far cry from a couple of days ago, when we were out in shorts.



I'm really looking hard for signs of Spring in amongst the crazy weather around here . . .




And did I mention that I like taking pictures of sleeping children? Particularly my own!


Ahhh . . . there's simply nothing sweeter now is there . . .

Thank heavens it's Friday! My poor little girl is just plumb tuckered out, after a hard week at school . . .



And although she's technically not my "baby" anymore . . .




I still like to take pictures of her while she's sleeping. There's no sassing, no back talking, no arguing, no fighting with little brother . . . and nothing sweeter.

The beautiful sound of silence. (*Love you punkin'!) ;)

My little guy is such a sweetie. In constant motion 24/7. It's nice to capture a still photo of him . . . even if it is only for a second.

While daddy and sis planted lettuce in the garden . . .



Eli was "plowing" with his wheelbarrow . . .




and I was goofing with the settings on my camera. I FINALLY figured out how to get a photo of the sun shining through the clouds like this, without whiting out the whole background! I think I hear the angels singing HALLELUJAH!

Most of my afternoon was spent sorting photos for my LOM class. I'm actually throwing quite a few away . . . or at least putting them in a box to pass around to family to see if they want any of them before they get pitched. Ahhhh . . . so freeing!

Feeling a little better today. Snuck in a 20 minute nap, did my L.O.A.D. layout, and did a little house cleaning in the evening.

Eli played in the window (as usual) . . .



and found himself a little lady friend.

In amongst catching up on some housework, I found some time to play with my manual settings again today. I captured several photos of Dave and Eli watching Kipper, early this morning . . .



And several more of Miss Kitty, being playful . . .




And a few more shots of my running shoes . . .




And I ended up playing with the horse bracelet that my hubby got me several years ago for my birthday. I *heart* horses.

I'm hoping to play some more with my manual settings tomorrow!

The kids spend countless hours in this little corner of the living room.



And I've found that making pudding is a great way for my little girl to learn to count to 100. (I think the box says to beat the mixture 250 times by hand . . .)




I like the way she holds out 3 fingers for 30, 4 fingers for forty, and so on and so forth. Whatever works kiddo!
