Day 212

Back From Dallas!

Hey y’all!

Sorry I disappeared for a few.  I was in Dallas at a business retreat.

It’s good to be home!

While playing outside with the Littles this afternoon, this Dahlia caught my eye.  It’s half red and half pink.

Love Bug called it a Two-Face flower.  Gotta love a kid that’s obsessed with Batman! 😉

Day 203

Rainy Day

Today was one of those rainy days where you spend lots of quality time with family.

Usually the kids snuggle with the Hubs or I, but I walked in on a sweet sibling moment…

Snuggly brothers

Love Bug worked for a *month* doing extra chores to earn enough for the new Lego Batman 2 DS game.

Seriously, a month!

He just got it a couple days ago, and has been playing it as often as he can.

Now, this wasn’t one of his “approved” times to play it, *however* because he was all curled up with his little brother all I did was run for the camera!!

For those of you wondering, Itty Bitty didn’t get new glasses.  Those are the frames from a pair of 3D glasses he got months ago from the theater.

I say “got” but I should say “borrowed.”  The theater strongly encourages you to return your glasses when done, but I forgot to tell him that so instead of putting them into the recycling bin, he put them into his pocket.

They are now his Superman glasses.

Yup, he’s got a whole Superman “act” now.  Complete with ripping open a shirt and tossing the glasses to the side when he transforms.

Note to self, get out the video camera!!!

Now on to the flower pics!

Not So Little Feet!

Glamor Girl *loves* to wear my shoes.

It used to be uber cute when she was little.  I would love to watch her toddle around wearing my shoes, barely able to walk because they were so big.

It’s not so cute now that they almost fit her.

Seriously.  She’s got about an inch more and her feet are the same size as mine.  The.  Same.  Size.

Today’s pic is her sweet little tootsies {pay no attention to the crazy pedicure, she’s “experimenting”} wearing MY favorite red shoes.

You know, the ones that almost fit her.

Day 198

Oh the Light!

Oh the glorious light!  Oodles and oodles of rays of sunlight.

*sigh*

Dude, I still have spots on my eye from looking through the camera lens, but this pic was *so* worth it!!

ISO 100 ~ f/22 ~ 1/640

One of the rare times that I shoot with my aperture as closed as I can make it.  That’s how I was able to capture those glorious rays!

If my aperture would have been wide open, the rays would have blurred together into hazy sunlight.

Day 197

Journeys

There’s a logging road on our property that was in use way before our home was even a glimmer in our builder’s eye {snicker}.

It leads to our favorite neighbor’s house, but sometimes when the Littles are playing outside it turns into the yellow brick road or a path through the jungle.  It’s never just a simple path, but the start of an amazing journey.

Someday soon {before I know it} it will just be a path through the woods again.  Maybe a way to sneak over to a friends house.  My Littles are growing up quickly and I often struggle to remember that these times will be gone in a blink.  One morning I will wake up and long for the pitter patter of little feet in the hallway, the little voices laughing {or bickering}.

Someday soon my Littles won’t be so little anymore.

Today’s pic is a memory frozen.  I don’t want them to forget the adventures they had, the journeys that a simple trail through the woods took them on.

A journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step.
