Happy Independence Day!

We're heading to the 'Burgh today to spend the day with my mom and sister.  Hoping we don't get rained out for the fireworks tonight!

Hope you have a great Independence Day filled with love, family, freedom, and fireworks!

Week 46 in Photos

Another week down!  I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to this being my last year for taking a photo a day.  Some days are just hard!  Especially after three years of doing this.  I'm all out of ideas.  But I do enjoy documenting our lives and plan to continue to do so next year.  Just not with the pressure of taking a photo a day.

We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving break the kids get from school.  Hopefully that will give Keira enough time to shake this illness that has been plaguing her for the past week and a half.  She's on her fourth day of missing school and I don't see her going back this week.  Poor thing.  She had to miss the Washington DC field trip this past weekend.  :(

Nick is looking forward to going deer hunting with Doug on Monday, which should be interesting.  They've gone hunting for squirrels a couple times and Doug said Nick did a pretty good job of keeping his mouth quiet, but he walks with heavy feet.  Nick blames that on his boots.  :)

Alex is looking forward to the "feast" at school on Wednesday.  The first graders and the kindergarteners get together to celebrate Thanksgiving with soup, cheese, and crackers.  That should be fun!

Nick and I went to the Veteran's Day parade.  Keira and Alex were sick and stayed home, much to Alex's dismay.  Plus, if I recall correctly, Alex punched Nick in the nose that morning, soooo ...

Alex stayed home from school today.  He wanted to watch a movie and sat Woody down to decide which one.  (And, as you can see, I hadn't swept the floor yet.)  :)

Keira managed to go to school today and brought home this keychain she made in Shop class.  She said she needs photos of all the things she's made for a display board assignment.

Our snowball bush is one of the last trees/bushes to still have leaves on it.

{Friday}

I was asked to go take photos at a masquerade dinner at our church for a group of teenage girls.  The hostess made a bunch of different masks for the girls to take home.  The food was great and the message was uplifting and inspirational.  I'm honored to have been a part.

Between Thursday night and Friday, we threw together a family photo shoot for this lovely lady and her family.  She was referred to me by a friend.  The weather was chilly but nice.  The shoot was challenging, mainly getting the little ones to cooperate (and keeping my assistant, Nick, in check).  I hope the mom is pleased with what I was able to get for her.
