Summer of Color How wonderful it is to be in a community of artists. I am so grateful for this experience, and have created new pieces I would have never created! I am excited to spend some time looking at all your collections this week, and hope to catch up on those I missed. Loving this journey!
Sitting pretty on my piano, until I know what to do with them! ...here are a couple pics of my daughters colorful works too!
Click here for my slideshow!
I just love colorful play everywhere. My house is filled with it. And although I may go crazy each and everyday, I would not trade my colorful life, just as it is, for anything! It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to!
Despite the intense heat, Maddy is back to school this week, and Kelsey about to follow. It has been a crazy summer trying to keep these girls busy. But don't worry, we have had plenty of movie and Xbox too! I have been in do mode, but not really accomplishing anything. I suppose that is the glory of summer! My DSLR took a bad crash this summer, and I have been mostly taking pics with my phone. My little backup has turned out to be great fun for me. Here are a few pics of my gaggle this summer.
We have spent lots of time running around in grass, swimming, and...
napping!
I really fell in love with my new shelter girl Bella!
and I let baby makes lots of messes, cuz that's how I roll!
and Paiger turned two and I set up a little photo shoot on my deck.
Kelsey tolerates my picture taking...
while Maddy poses and poses!
Baby plays with her babies all day, and loves pictures!
And we all have fun at museums, especially is wacky mirrors!
and once in a while, the olders make me dinner. They throw beach towels on the table and cook pasta...and give me a diet coke, even though I had already had my quota! And they serve me on Power Puff girls plates!
All in all, it was a pretty nice summer. I am eager for Fall, the smell, the colors, the coolness. I am eager to have the olders in school so I can to to the gym. I am looking forward to getting a new lens, and taking new fotos, and maybe developing more of my style in photography. ...lens baby anyone? I am eager to work on my writing, and get my projects into my mentor on time. So here's to fall...I hope it comes soon! Happy happy end of summer days to you all, and don't drink too much diet coke, let's have an iced coffee, shall we?
Oooh, I love this post! First of all, your babies are beautiful and I love the smiles in all the pictures! The one with your baby in paint and a smile is the very best - you can see the joy in your family - it comes out in your art, writing and pictures! AND I love seeing all of your "wares" on the piano - now get them out to Somerset ;) & Okay, Iced coffee it is . . . xoxo

ReplyDeletelovely to see your pieces again and all hangin together on the computer - interesting to see the different sizes.
ReplyDeleteLove the tummy painting - sounds like a lot of fun
I feel the same way. I would never do the pieces I did if it wasn't for the challenge. :) Your girls are adorable. Have fun!

OH, that photo with the balloons is wonderful!! What sweet kids you've got- each with their own personality!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, I hadn't even realized my book wasn't up on the blog anymore. When I got it redesigned, that icon must have gotten lost in the shuffle! I'll have to see if I can figure out how to get it back up there!
