Snow Play

When I woke up this morning it was snowing!!!!!

Let's play!!!

Mama and Me

Come on Mama let's take a walk!!!

Our Street & Sights Along the Way

We're home!

Can we go in and make snow ice cream now?!?

Bird feeder!

We got a new bird feeder to put in our yard and it has been so much fun to see all the birds that come to snack. Yesterday it was sunny and this cardinal came for a bite to eat. This morning it is SNOWING!!! The little guy below was hanging out in the tree above the feeder. He looks like he may have indulged a few times already, since he looks a little chubby! So cute! Joshua has been loving it. The birds are so busy and he loves to imitate their chirping.

Black and White Photography

I have been fiddling around with the whole black and white photo thing and am just really addicted to the look. I am wanting to try EVERYTHING out in black and white! That is one of the coolest features of digital photography, you can do that and then just "ctrl z" if it doesn't look that great!! Here are some of my experiments.
A real rock formation we found in Saranda, Albania, which is on the coast.

Backyard Fun

Here are some pictures of an afternoon in our backyard. The house we are in right now has a great swingset and the yard is roomy and open. We just love it!!

The planter area has all these little pebbles which are absolutely irresistible for a 3 year old boy!!

Run, run, run!!

"Pant fall down, Mama!"

Cool picture!

1, 2, 3, JUMP!!

More fun with pebbles.

Love my dump truck!!!

Father and Son Day

Joshua and Charley had a day together on Saturday. (Mama was at a Crop Til You Drop day!!) They went to Millwood lake to hike and check out the creatures around there.

The trailhead for their hike.

Mr. Cool!

Stopping for a picnic lunch half way through.

I think that Joshua is getting the hang of this "posing for pictures" thing!! HAHAHA

The beaver dam. (No beavers were spotted this time.)

Self portrait!! My cute guys!!

Huckabee Rally!!

Well, how exciting!! Charley was able to go to the rally for Huckabee, here in Texarkana, on the 4th. Here are a few pics. Cool to be there!!

SNOW!!

NOOOO it was not in Texarkana, but rather in Atlanta, GA when we went to visit friends! I just love the expression on Joshua's face!! Such wonder!!

That is our friend Nathan on the right.
