Someone

Hello again-
Not gonna lie, summer has appeared and it has given us all a reason to smile.
Here are some happy things:

Someone got a new lens (actually two new lenses, 85mm f/1.8 and 17-55 mm f/2.8!)

Someone has her first real job!
Working at a local gym as an after care camp counselor.
So far, she loves it!

Someone is thrilled that school is out!
Guess who?

Someone loves being a guinea pig for her mother's new lens photo obsession:

Someone is celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary today,
so they recreated the moment!

Someone skinny tried on her mother's wedding dress
because someone's mother is not a size 5 anymore :(

                                           

Someone is very proud of the fact that 10 weeks ago,
she went on a no carb, no sugar diet,
self-diagnosed a gluten allergy and has lost a total of 24 lbs!
I feel incredible!

Someone has to go and celebrate the fact that it has been 25 years of joys, tears, hugs, kisses, babies, toddlers, little girls, tweens, teens, laughter, hope, dreams, prayers, gratefulness, craziness, peace, worryand bliss but mostly love, a whole lot of love.

Thanks for stopping by!

Father's Day 2012

I always have loved this holiday because it reminds me
how blessed I have been to have such a loving man
as the father of my children and also to have been raised
by such a wonderful father myself.

The other day, Erin wanted to go fishing,
so she and my husband dug up some worms (blech!)
and off they went to the pond down the road from our house.
I love this photo I got of them heading out.

Alas, not a fish was to be caught, but they always have fun together :)

Erin is a budding artist, she really is quite a good animator.
Here is the sweet card she made for her daddy:

One gift I gave my husband was a new photo of our girls.
I cannot believe that they are almost the same height!

No scrapping of late, but I am hoping to resolve that this week.
I hope to"see" you again soon!
Jody

Happy Birthday to my #2!
