What a reader this boy is! It is such a cool thing to see your kids develop a love of reading... and to know where they (might have) got it from! ::wink, wink::

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Ben and Sam were all decked out in green shirts and tattoos!

(If you look closely, you can see a 'dent' in Ben's hairline above his forehead. He tried to comb his hair over to hide it, but yesterday- in class- he took scissors and cut his own hair!!! Apparently, he missed out on doing that in Kindergarten, when all the other kids do it... so he decided to make up for it in the 3rd grade! Crazy kid! Oh well, it was very obvious to us that he was quite embarrassed about it, so that (and what he looked like) were punishment enough. Lesson learned, we hope!)

A portrait of a Speech Therapy Graduate.
Today, Sam was released from Speech Therapy and we congratulated him with a card, balloon, and candy! Sam loves a celebration, and this was good reason to celebrate!

The back yard at dusk... I had noticed the pretty pink glow off the mountains this evening at dusk. (Please over look the Uhaul place across the highway!)
The picture was easy enough to capture... it was the post processing that was the most fun! I practiced a technique that enhanced that pink glow. Now, to get a good sunset picture with no Uhaul trailers... stay tuned!

Yum cupcakes! These are the treats I made for Brandy's shower: vanilla with cream cheese frosting, and chocolate with chocolate buttercream. I think I liked the chocolate ones best!

Today was the baby shower for Brandy (and Rowen!). It was a team effort: with Aunt Barbara hosting the shower at her house, and Joanna and I planning and bringing food, drinks, treats.

I was really glad to be making it a joint endeavor- it sure made it seem easy for me! And, the best part was that Brandy was surprised by the whole thing. That is truly a feat to accomplish, according to Will!

I chose this shot to show off the pretty flowers and food, AND because I love that I caught Aunt Barbara smiling in the mirror (and my elbow). I also had nice, natural lighting for this shot too.

Crafty goodness! Getting ready for Brandy's baby shower tomorrow.
