Artsy fartsy*

We finally got a chance, on the last day, to walk around ArtPrize one more time. Dev and I spent a couple of hours downtown the second day, and Scott took him down for a few hours, but the rain had really washed out our plans to make a family […]

And where is fall, may I ask?

Snapped beneath cloudy, breezy skies at Robinette’s. <pout> I’m bummed. It’s been raining for days. The sun peeks in once in a while and then burrows behind the clouds again. The leaves are just beginning to change colors, but the ones that have fallen from the trees are lying in […]

Three days away

Dev and I took a trip to Chicago last weekend. (We missed Scott, but I know he appreciated a little time to himself.) And I’m just now getting around to posting about it. We had a nice time. The weather was mostly cooperative. And even when it rained it wasn’t […]

Kick

The boys started something new a couple of weeks ago. Kickball in the street. (With shouts of “Car!” at appropriate times.) I joined in with them last night, although joining wouldn’t be all that accurate of a word since Devin basically took over the game. He would kick the ball, […]

A little walk

He had a tough day at school today. Conked out in the car on the way home and slept for an hour and a half. Bedtime? Blown out of the water. So why not grab our cameras and go for a photowalk? He started out snapping photos, then gravitated toward […]

Playing games

I’m glad that Devin likes to play games. I might go crazy if not because his other favorite options are playing cars and super heroes. Neither of which really top my list of preferred activities. He does have one board game, though, that I absolutely despise. It’s a Thomas the […]

Senior citizen

The thing about me and this site is that I feel that every single post should include a photo — whether or not that photo is relevant to the topic of discourse. So when I haven’t snapped photos for days, I feel disinclined to post. I’m slightly neurotic, I know. […]

I managed not to faint :)

My big boy started Kindergarten today. (Well, he’s Scott’s big boy too, of course.) I held back on the tears until we walked away, although I warned him Mommy might cry. He made it through. So did I. So onward and upward, right?

Twinkle toes

A week or so ago, a co-worker asked me if I’d take her daughter’s one-year photos. I was surprised. I’ve never really considered photographing other people’s kids. (Self-confidence issues, no doubt.) And the only other time someone asked me to be a pretend professional photographer was when I snapped the […]
