For Today

For Today - December 31, 2010


Outside my window: dark and quiet. I am sure that will change in a few hours


I am thinking: that I wish it were 9:00 and Matt were on his way home


I am thankful for: my family and our health


From the kitchen: 3 new Rachel Ray recipes for dinner this week


I am wearing: jeans and a black shirt


I am creating: nothing at the moment- made Reece a potty chart a couple of days a go


I am going: to try and get some great shots of Reece with a sparkler when Matt gets home


I am reading: anything I can find online about photography


I am hoping: for a wonderful 2011 filled with happiness and adventures


I am hearing: Little Einsteins and the dishwasher


Around the house: toys and Christmas decorations that need to be put away


One of my favorite things: planning our next vacation --- a Disney cruise in September


A few plans for the week ahead: getting back to work--- the real world with an alarm clock


A picture to share: New Year's Eve last year at Bud and Teri's wedding

Merry Christmas

We had a great day yesterday. Matt bought me the camera I had been begging for since May. I took almost 100 pictures yesterday!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Santa Claus

We took Reece to the mall today to see Santa and it could not have gone better. She loved him and told him everything she wants for Christmas. I love this picture. I think it is priceless. We got one of them both looking at the camera but this was my favorite, her talking to him.



After Santa she picked out a Precious Moment Santa ornament to put on her tree in her room.

My Favorite Family Picture

This picture has always been one of my favorite pictures. It is on my desk at work and I love it. I have always loved to glance over at it when I am having "one of those" days and remind myself that everything will be ok once I get home and get to spend time with my family.

Now that we have lost Bella, this picture means more to me than ever before. It is an old picture and we have taken many since then---- this one has just always been special to me.
