"Everybody wants to be a cat!"

Last night I had the pleasure of painting faces for the long awaited theatrical presentation of Aristocats at my daughter's school. What an amazing show it was! So much talent! The entire school took part. It was a joy to watch...and what a huge feat for those dedicated teachers that made it happen. A memory my daughter will have forever. Here's a little inside peek...

Speaking of spring...

Every morning on our way to school, we pass the most beautiful spot. It's just a patch of grass along a winding road flanked by oak trees on both sides but in the spring it's covered in daffodils and wild flowers. I've been meaning to stop there and get some pictures of the kids so a few saturdays ago we grabbed our bikes, I grabbed my camera and we rode a few block over to it. My daugther, as always, was keen to have her picture taken but my son was having none of it ... oh well, there's always next year.

Sunday afternoon at the beach

Today was a beautiful spring day... the kind we've all been waiting for. Grandpa popped in for a visit along with the rest of the clan so we gathered all the kids up and hit the beach. Every time we come here I am reminded of how lucky we are to live so close to paradise. The kids had such a great time with their cousins...kicking off their shoes and running barefoot in the surf. Summer is just around the corner...

My first post on my first blog!

Okay. here I go...doing what I said I never would...jumping into the world of blogging! I have spent countless hours pouring over so many amazing photoblogs and after some gentle coaxing from the girls, thought I would take the plunge and start one up myself. This blog will be for personal photos of my two perfect kids, the love of my life and our family. I love to capture real moments through my lens and now I will have a way to share a piece of my life with the one or two people who stumble upon this. LOL.
