As we prepare to leave the great state of Texas for who knows how long, I’m pondering what a BIG deal it really is to me. I’ve lived somewhere in Texas since I was a wee 16th month old. All the big things that have happened in my life have happened within in these borders….
i heart faces – Sepia Toned
Theme: Sepia Toned – Kids This is my nephew, Daniel. I just love his eyes and I personally think he’s extremely photogenic. Wouldn’t you agree? I took this one during our visit to Austin last week while the kids were out in my brother and SIL’s backyard playing and well, just being kids. He even…
Lost Reservation but Great Vacation!
We had a great time at Sea World in San Antonio and (no, they are not paying me to say that – Darnit!) and after day one we decided to spend all three days there. They currently have a deal where you pay for a day and then can come back all year and because…

You Capture – Family
This week’s You Capture subject is FAMILY. Here are a few pictures that I took of the boys with my parents when they were here for Little G’s birthday celebration a couple of week’s ago. Grandparents certainly mean Family to me… These aren’t the “best” quality photos but I love them because they are pictures…
Life at Full Speed
Life seems to be going at warp speed right now. And as I type this, crazy wonderful things are on the horizon, coming in the near future. But also daunting things. Things that I have never experienced before but knew I probably would someday. Yes, I’m still being somewhat cryptic but I have to be….
Fond Memories for a Friday
To get there we drove across a rickety wooden bridge that I was sure would one day break underneath the weight of our car. But we made it across every time. Once we reached the gate one of us had to get out to open it and wait for the car to pull through and…
Some Rambling with a side of …. blah, blah, blah
I have a lot going on in my head right now. Some of it I will spill right here, right now and some of it I’m not quite ready to divulge yet. This post is going to be a little “rambly” but right now I feel I need to type some of it out here,…
Who’s That Girl?
We had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little child, Rosemary, yesterday. Isn’t she just a full plate of precious-ness? She’s the daughter of Tim’s cousin Fred and his wife Amy. I only got a few minutes to nuzzle her (she was quite happy playing on the floor with her toys) and it did give…
Easter, in an Eggshell
We had a lovely Easter weekend that included wonderful home-cooked meals, family, chocolate, cupcakes, egg hunting, churchin’ and well, rain. When I woke up around 5 a.m. to hear the torrentual down-pour on my windows I just knew there would be nary an outdoor egg hunt for us Sunday. But I was wrong. The sun…
