From earlier this week...

It looks like I'm not going to be able to snap anything today..Been a bit tired today and need to head out of the house for a little bit. We're ALL going shopping this evening..Going to head out the the local Super Walmart. The boys have some money in their pockets and they are begging to spend a little of it.. and I need some groceries...I'm craving Frozen Grapes (thanks Aunt Sharon for introducing them to me)..

So, you'll have to see images from earlier week...

This first one is out of focus, but OH WELL...he's mine, he's smiling cute and I'm printing it..


This one was during our wonderfully warm weather earlier this week..No, MOM, we weren't outside log with him not wearing a shirt..


And, yesterday...B and L..


And Baby J, refusing his mother eye contact..oh well, I love the happiness he's expressing so it's definitely a keeper...



And, my B...he's always willing to let me capture those eyes...

Thanks for looking..

Inspired by Wednesday Night Bible Study...

Okay..so on Wednesday nights we have a Bible study at our Church. And our wonderful music director (enter winking smiley, here) plays these awesome DVD's.. and the images to go along with the songs are just great. I love how they capture the innocence of life, the joy of our youth and the longing and desiring for the Lord.. I always think I should be capturing those moments....Today, I got one..(of many to come)..




ENJOY your day... Be GLAD in the Lord and rejoice...

Another Cutie..they are being nice to me...

I've had some decent lighting coming into my living room these past few days..Of course my ISO has still been at or above 800, and shooting pretty wide open...But still love the light here..

L has been a great little model for me... This first one is my favorite..



And here's my little goofy boy from yesterday..


And, so you can see him in color (though I am pulling more and more to b/w photography)...here is the first one in color

Me..

Total Cutie..

Yeah, I'm his mother and yeah I think he is CUTE!!!





I still have some to go through from our few minutes together..But I had to share his cuteness...

Will post today's picture/s of the day later..

Have a great one..

Mis

They both sat, they both looked and they both smiled, BUT....

It's too bad their mommy photographer forget to get both of them in focus by closing down the ap a little...DUH...


But, at my defense is: Previous to putting them both together (at Baby J's request to have his picture taken too) I was taking pictures of L....




We're enjoying the nice weather today..It's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL January day here in NE Ohio... Have a great day, everyone..

Melissa

Brothers....

When 'L' was a baby, the older 2 adored him. They made goofy faces to make him laugh, they played and played with him. They really were his entertainers. I said L was 'their' baby. There's still a bit of that baby love left for L from his brothers, even with the addition of J (who is the family baby).




And, of course, since we still have Zippy Roo, he had to get in front of the camera today..



Have a great one, everyone...

Me

My mail box...

My sweet little 'L' is 5 years old. He loves making cards, sending letters to people and helping people have a nice day. He is my little mailman. Nearly daily he 'delivers' an envelope to my mail box. I hadn't documented it yet, and thought today was the perfect day to do so..






Have a great day....and tell someone you love them today, it might brighten their day..

Melissa

'D'...

If D isn't playing the PS3, he's doing this:



He reads and reads and then reads some more..

I did get him to let me take him out in the back for some pictures..





Have a great day...

Mis

B and Zippy...

Zippy love B, he finds B's lap whenever it's empty. And if I open the boys bedroom at night, Zippy will zip right in there and jump on B's bed...So, last night I found Zippy snuggled in under the covers of B's bed...






And, one from yesterday...


Enjoy your day...

Mis

Snow fun...

B and L LOVE the snow...D can play on the PS3 all day (if we would let him, his dream would come true).. Just some of my favs..







And how can you not love a good belly laugh...



Have a GREAT day..

Mis

Zippy Roo....

The boys have a song we sing about Zippy the Puppy...

Zippy, Zippy the wonder dog
I'm so glad you're not a frog
Or a flea
on me...

Yeah we're poets..

Heres a couple of Zippy Roo (fear the Roo, as in the Akron Zips mascot...)..In case you didn't know Zippy the University of Akron mascot won Mascot of the Year!! GO ZIPS, and FEAR THE ROO!!




Isn't he cute????
