Photo Shoot!

Now I know you all have guessed that I like to take pictures (3 blogs worth)! :) But did you know there is a budding photographer in the house with me!? Riley LOVES to take pictures and asks OFTEN for a camera of his own, to which (much to his dismay) he hears, "then save up your money"! :) But today the sun coming in was so pretty that I wanted to get a few pictures, so I let Riley loose with my camera and became his subject (those of you who follow this blog know I am not usually in front of the camera, so enjoy Mom & Dan! :) ).Mom offered a few suggestions...


he said this was of the baby :)...

Then he started giving direction!

And just so you all don't think I get to sit around by myself, this is the norm! But it is nice to get a nice picture of my babe and I!

So there you have it, Riley's hands, a few suggestions from mom, direction from Riley, and a little cropping from mom (who really wanted to see the air conditioner behind me)!

And do you see I am just about finished with Riley's blue Valentine's Day scarf!!!

Hope you had a little sunshine in your day! :)

Favorite Things!

Well I have been trying to get this post up for a couple days but Photoshop has been freaking out! :) And I promise to get Riley's birthday pictures up ASAP! :)

But in the mean time...If you are looking for me after lunch this is where I am. On my bed basking in the sun. It is the only room in our house to get good winter sunshine! So I am ether just sitting there doing something or yep you guessed it, napping! :) This pink yarn is now a Valentines scarf for Fern, I have Riley's blue one still left to finish!
Guess where Jake found me with the camera on this day!?! Jake took this picture because the yarn on my belly looked like a bunny to him! :) His green scarf is all finished and will go in his valentines bag tonight! :)

One of my most favorite times of the year is when Trader Joe's gets in their tulips and daffodils! These are my Valentines flowers from Dan, and do you see the miracle? That window is OPEN!! It was 60 degrees F. yesterday!! I know it was a fluke but boy I wish it would stick around!!

And my daffodils! I love these because a bunch of them are only a couple bucks and I usually have enough to have two small vases of them! I LOVE daffodils! :)

And yesterday I bought a little something for the babe wiggling all over in my tummy! Target is now stocking these, I wanted some for Jake when he was a babe and then for Fern and finally I just bought some! They make cloth diapering a little easier and they are too cute! :)

So there you are some of my favorite things to go along with a few new songs! :)

Celebrating!

I am sure everyone knows that the Steelers won the Super Bowl last Sunday and that my hubby can conservatively be called a "Steeler's Fan", :) So we of course had a little celebrating to do! And of course it involved Eat n Park Steeler Smiley Face Cookies! All the way from Pittsburgh (although thankfully the shipping was much more reasonable to CT. vs. 4 years ago to CA.)!!
Jake my bottomless pit was the only one to wait for the camera...

Fern dug in...

Riley nibbled away...

and Dan, well you can see the proof! :)

They are very yummy!
