a better day

4.12.2011

I'm doing a lot better after yesterdays happenings. Thank you for your sweet comments & encouragement. I surprise myself sometimes, for I don't usually post so frequently. Infact, I don't think I've ever posted two days in a row. Gasp! But taking and sharing photos gives me such a great feeling.

I'm seriously considering putting a book together of all of the kids' quotes. They say the funniest, craziest, most intelligent things ever. While trying to catch a butterfly this afternoon...
"Arrr! It won't hold still! I can't catch it!" -E
"Lets just pull his wings off." -S

The stream behind our house is gurgling over from all the April showers that keep falling. This happens to be the challenge theme over at Allie's blog.

Oh. And I found these. Lets just say that breakfast mixed with art makes me happy. I've been looking around on this blog for a while now, and there are some really neat DIY's that I've been wanting to try. I'm hoping to get something like this up soon- so I can put up some photos in my polariod frames I made a while back.

    Your pictures stun me. My favorites are the water, and the ones where you can see the reflection in their eyes.
    And I'm totally with you on the things kids say. I'm the oldest with four siblings, and I don't go a day without laughing ;)
    Glad you're recovering from the bad case of bad blogger blues. You're an amazing blogger, and probably my favorite photographer.

    I am a new follower, and when I saw your blog, I was so happy! :) My family and I are also adopting from Ethiopia, and I traveled there with my dad last November. Your siblings (and the photos you take of them!) are beautiful. It makes me even more excited for the day when we get our children!
