Hurry up Baby!

I really need to cuddle and squeeze you and kiss you and hear your sweet little baby giggles..  Hurry up will ya?!  Get out of that belly!!

"The" flu?

Who knows? All I know is that it's meant lots of time off lately for both me and the kids.  Plus lots of movie watching and fort building.  Hopefully we've seen the worst of it. 

A casualty of the flu has been my 365 day project. It's tough to pull out the camera when the kids are feverish and cranky....not to mention their mom. I''ve vowed to start it up again tomorrow...

Halloween

The kids had such a blast last night wandering the neighbourhood as the vampire twins.  Here's some of the highlights from our Halloween festivities...

Some Exciting News!

I mentioned earlier this week that two of my photos were selected as finalists for Pioneer Women's photography challenge...Well I was so excited and shocked and amazed and honoured this morning to discover that one of my photos actually won!!!!  Wow... little ole me?  really?  I never win anything.. Wow.  And if that wasn't enough, my screaming fans (literally...they were screaming when I got home..) greeted me at the door tonight with a beautiful surprise...  Actually it was my loving other half who brought them home to me.. he was my biggest fan even before I became famous. Fame, flowers and the love of adoring fans....Life is pretty good today....

Rain boots, chickens and pumpkins...oh my!

It's that time of year again.  Fall always brings at least one trip to the farm.  Every year one of the kids, if not both, gets the chance to visit Oldfield Orchards to learn about local farming, see the chickens, pick some apples and pumpkins and taste some local treats.  I think I've been on this trip at least 6 or 7 times with the kids but it's always fun. This past week I joined C's kindy class for the morning.  I think I might have mentioned once or twice on here how much I love fall.  There's something about kids in gum boots and rosy cheeks running through the pumpkin patch.. it's just so awesome to see the excitement as they choose the perfect pumkin.  I never get tired of getting out to the "country" at this time of year.  It was a perfect morning. 

Here are some of the highlights

OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!!

Pioneer Woman is one of my favourite bloggers of all time.  She's a blogger icon in the world of photography.  Recently she started a photography group on flickr where she chooses a weekly assignment and members post their photos to the group and then she features her favs on her blog.  Well I just about fell out of my chair tonight when I discovered she had selected not one but TWO of my pictures for her blog!  OMG!  I've been following her blog for years and to actually be featured on it is a dream come true especially when I look at the other photos she chose. Wow. I'm so honoured that she thought I was worthy to be in the same league with some of those other photogs.  The first photo she selected was taken just last week as part of my 365 day project.  I snapped the other pic last spring in Beacon Hill park.  Check out her blog and see for yourself!  And since they're on her blog I'd better post them on mine too!

Day 8

Project 365 is proving to be more difficult that I thought.  Especially since it is getting dark so much earlier these days and my D80 has not so great performance in low light...so here is day 8.  Some fall foliage.  Have I mentioned I love fall?
