Sweethearts

These are my kids. They usually hide from the camera when I pull it out of the case, but since this shoot was part of a Valentine's Day craft project, they agreed to let me photograph them.

Bubble Blowing In Black And White

Tree Swing

Pointing out once again that Grandma and Grandpa's house is the best place EVER.

Fishing

The Beach

This summer I have made it a goal to take the girls to the beach at least once a week. Unlike most goals I set for myself that generally fade away within a week or two of me setting them, like keeping up with endless laundry, this beach thing has been wonderful this summer. The kids play in the water and build sandcastles with lots of new friends that are also beach regulars, while I lounge in my chair and read books and magazines supervise. It works out quite well.

Get Yourself Some Cheap Sunglasses

She has her own pair but prefers to borrow mine. These are actually my gardening sunglasses. Not that they have special gardening powers or something fun like that, but they aren't in the best of shape anymore, so I try not to wear them anywhere but around the house.

Dancing Shadows

Crash

Right after the last photo, she pulled her bike up off of the ground and yelled over to me, "I'm fine Mom!" then pedaled off down the driveway.

Puppy Love- Sunflare

Roll The Ball, Catch The Ball

One of Binny's favorite games, played in the same place we play ring hockey with stocking feet in the winter. Lots of action in this kitchen!
