Yesterday, in spite of allergies from the deep, dark and beyond, I spent the day birthday party hopping. The first was for Little K. A few months ago her sister celebrated her third birthday with Cinderella and those other Disney princess lot. Little K would just as soon eat the wheels off of Cinderella’s carriage than be bothered with all that fluff. Give her an Oreo and a handful of cheese puffs and she’s good to go.

Yesterday I hung out with a Three Year Old and her 11month old sister. In the first photo V has decided she doesn’t like me very well. She wants her daddy, thank you very much. In the second photo she had just finished dressing up her giant baby doll. Don’t let the tutus fool you. The child is more Roman Centurion than Russian Ballerina. If you’d caught a glimpse of her doing pull ups in the kitchen (there was carrot cake on the counter) you’d believe it.

On Friday and Saturday we hung out with the three Ts. Whenever we visit Miss D and her family she’s always the first at the breakfast table. Here she sits just before the morning meal. She dined on muffins and fruit after declaring the porridge I cooked “Tastes like paper, at the end.”

It’s 2:30a.m. and I’ve been up all night processing pics from the weekend. I’m terribly addicted to this sort of thing. I once spent three hours on one image and then gave it away. If you’re looking for the latest wedding images, go to the proofs page (top right) and enter the password. Every bride and groom has one. Don’t ask me. Ask them.
If you’re just here to have a nose around, then meet ‘Karly’. She’s four and I photographed her very first recital this weekend. I’m not sure how she felt about having a camera stuck in her face. I think it may have chased her out of the ‘zone’ - for her second performance, she channeled Mae West. But I was determined to fill up the new Lexar Professional cards I bought. I’ll tell you about those later. For now,’Karly’.

Hewlitt Packard would like to fuel your creative side with their online activity center. Hundreds of free print projects for the aspiring Martha in all of us. For mother’s day, try a twill and basil framed image.
Choose between a subtle antique beige twill or a basil leaf green photo frame. Then, add extra decorative accents and a personalized caption, such as a favorite quote. In minutes, you’ll have a beautiful keepsake ready for a 5″ x 7″ frame. It’s perfect for your home or as a thoughtful gift.
All you need is some glossy photo paper, Adobe Reader software (free download here), and your images. HP will do the rest.
I’ll be trying something similar with these two photos.

Not saying she didn’t appreciate the flowers. Just saying she didn’t quite know how to deal with all the attention. Looks like this little lady is in no danger of becoming a diva anytime soon. Grain of salt darling. That’s how she takes her celebrity.

Ridiculously busy the last few weeks. I’ve moved houses, injured myself in a way I refuse to talk about, and had my identity stolen. That’s just a few of the high lights.
Last night my sister writes me to tell me her six year old has taken on an English accent and is getting quite good at impersonating my husband. I asked if she could imitate that face he makes too - but she had to hang up before she answered. Her youngest was being attacked by dinosaurs.
The photos of the day were taken at a family get together a few months back. A terribly handsome young lad (Not the one being eaten by dinosaurs) I like to call ‘G’. His likes are Timberland Boots, his daddy, and Beyonce. In no particular order.
