A quick cheat on the "wordless" part of the weekend...

This morning I was ambushed in my 20 year old, shorty robe and wet, uncombed hair by the three sweetest kids around. They were so proud of the bedside table they had made. Isn't it truly the best?

I am so lucky.

Happy Mother's Day to all you other lucky Mums!

This Moment.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Grab your kids and go get a special milkshake treat this weekend and don't forget to give your Mom a good hug. :)

Happy Friday all!

A Boy Oh Boy Before and After.

This family is about 100 pounds lighter due to some recent haircuts. I cut about 8 inches off my mop a few weeks ago and both boys had some nice cuts yesterday.

Sully just had his trimmed up and looks handsome as ever, of course.

And Colyer. Well, Colyer had a bit more of an extreme trim. He wanted it "super, SUPER short!" so that's what he got. I struggled in my head a bit because I LOVE his messy, moppy hair. The moppier the better I say. I was worried it wouldn't be him if he went shorter. Then I shook myself and realized that if it was what Colyer wanted for himself, then it couldn't possibly be anything other than "him".

He loves it and likes to slick it back as slick as can be.

And of course, he is as handsome as ever.

Behold!

and Mr. C,

AFTER...

How'd we make such good lookin' kids?

Your hair-do, or yard, or house gettin' spruced up for Summer too?

Forget Whereabouts, Where Have I Been?

No "Whereabouts Wednesday" today. I find myself amidst a busy week with not much to show for it. Everyday feels packed but not really feeling productive. Ah well, you know those kind of weeks don't you?

I have lots on the to-do list though. Fun stuff too! I have wedding presents to make, a little girl dress to complete and some neat fabric coming for my little origami enthusiast who desperately needs an origami portfolio. That one has been on the list for many days, weeks even. Can't wait to get started. Still stitching away at the "Making Waves" embroidery too. I will show that to ya soon. Well, at some point anyway.

I did take some more portraits on Monday, so fun! What a cute, spunky little gal.

This shot was one of the bad, noisy out-takes, but oh, don't you see what I mean? Sassy subject (with pretty green eyes!), fun shoot and as always, good practice. At least I have some pictures to prove I did SOMETHING. Hope some of the good shots will be loved.

How's your week so far?
