Project 52 ~ Weeks 43 & 44

So apparently I forgot to do a post last week.  That's part of the problem with being a bit overwhelmed with stuff to do - I forget things.  Oops!  :)  So I'm combining two weeks into one.  But don't worry, I won't overload you with photos.  Just a couple from each week.

{week 43}

According to Josh's parents, this is how they seem him often.  I was glad to be able to capture his personality during his senior session.  His mom said he went from dreading his session to really enjoying it and looking forward to seeing his photos.  That is a wonderful compliment!

Kourtney also had senior photos done during this week.  I had given her the choice between October 12 and 26 and she chose the 26th.  But when it came time to have her session, it was freezing!  So different from the weather we had on the 12th, when it was shorts and t-shirt weather.  We still enjoyed ourselves though.  We went from the top of a cliff down into a valley with this beautiful waterfall and then into a pitch black train tunnel (you can see a photo of that here).  It was great to explore areas that I hadn't been to before.

{week 44}

I'm still working my way through those senior sessions (and one more!) partly because of this sweet little girl.  She spent a couple days with us while her mom and dad went away.  She reminded me how much work it is to have a toddler in the house!  We had a good time though.  The kids, especially Nick, loved having her here.  He had someone to entertain.  :)  Which is actually what he was doing that you can't see. He was outside the window playing peek-a-boo with her.

Last, the boys carved pumpkins the day after Halloween this year.  Better late than never, right?

Week 20 in Pictures

Another week gone!  I can't believe Memorial Day is in a week!  And that the kids will be done with school soon!  This past week kept me pretty busy.  I helped with our church's Ladies' Luncheon, which was Saturday.  It went pretty well considering we decided to throw it together just about a month ago.  :)  We will get started planning earlier next year.  


I also had my first official photo shoot with a sweet almost two-year-old.  It was fun following him around, seeing the world through his eyes.  I still have to finish up editing the photos, but the few I showed his mom made her very happy.

Anyway, let's see what the week looked like in pictures ...

{Sunday}

The kids each made me something special for Mother's Day.  Alex gave me this hand print he made at school.  Nick made a flower vase.  And Keira made me a couple bead necklaces.  And Doug bought me two new tires for my van.  He's so romantic.  :)  Actually we went out for lunch to my favorite restaurant on Thursday since he unexpectedly had the day off.  Then we shopped for flowers for my flower bed.  And I got a hanging pot of Petunias.

{Monday}

While at church on Sunday our Pastor told those lingering around afterward that we could take some flowers from the funeral arrangements.  His father-in-law's funeral was Saturday and there were several arrangements left there.  Keira was glad to pick through them and give me a bouquet for Mother's Day.  :)  This beautiful lily was among those she picked.

{Tuesday}

Woke up to thick fog that lifted pretty quickly once the sun came out.

{Wednesday}

Alex and I went to our church to get the flower beds ready for planting.  While there he wanted to walk over to the neighbor's and see the horses.

{Thursday}

I had a photo shoot with a sweet almost-two-year-old boy.  More photos coming soon.

{Friday}

Capturing some sun flare through my purple Lupine flowers.

{Saturday}

Our Ladies' Luncheon was today.  Everything went very well and now I can relax.  After the luncheon my mother-in-law, Sue, and Keira wanted their photo taken in front of the stone part of our church.  I love how they chose to look at each other instead of at me.  And I also love that Keira is almost as tall as my MIL, who is about 5' 9".  Okay, maybe I don't really love that so much since that means my girl is growing up.  But it is cool that they are almost eye to eye.
