i heart faces : family

This week at i♥faces is all about families. This weekend my best friend Keri and her family came for a visit. I asked if I could practice on them a little bit and she was sweet enough to oblige. 

It was a pretty cloudy day but I was able to capture a couple of sweet shots of her, her husband Joe and precious girl Lily. I love this photo.

Worldly

GG found Alabama!

When we first moved to Helena I joined, what I called, a "stay at home mom's" group. But really it wasn't just stay at home moms. It was dads and nannies and grandmas. Anyone who had children and wanted to meet others with children for play dates. It was a great way for me to meet other adults and for the kids to play. So when we moved to Dothan, I joined one here as well. Today was our first meet up with them. At a local art museum. It was cool because there was no cost to get in and the children's area is shut off so the kids can't escape.

Admiring a statue

It was fun. i met some very nice mom's and GG and Shep ran and colored and admired statues and other art. And really had a good time.

GG and her Barbies

GG very much takes after her mommy and her sister. She loves her Barbies. They are all she wants to play with right now. Even pitching big fits to go get new Barbies. Every morning she wakes up and asked if Santa came to bring her new Barbies.

This is how she makes them talk. All in each others personal space.

I love that she's such a girly girl.

i heart faces : best face

It's been a while since I joined in the fun over at i heart faces. This weeks theme is "Best Face". And the picture has to be recent. Taken from December or January. I took this photo of Sophie on January 3rd. It is my favorite of her right now. I just love her eyes and her sweet smile.

It's also their birthday week. Head over there and check out the great giveaways they are having. And enjoy other "best faces".

An outing

It's been ccccold here. Well, for southern Alabama it's cold. So it's been challenging to try and find things to do for the littles. Sophie is back in school and not here to entertain them. So yesterday we ventured out and hit up the local Barnes and Noble for story time. I was three minutes late and missed the story. But we did a craft/coloring project and had a cookie. Then I sat on the floor and read as many books as they brought to me. Another little girl who was three started bringing me books to read as well. Her mom had been on her cell phone the whole time and not paying much attention to her. Finally she walked up to me and said, "I'm sorry, she never wants me to read to her." Ok. After she paced back and forth for a while she asked me if it would be ok if she went to get a drink of water. Sure, no problem. She was gone forever. I thought, maybe she had to go to the bathroom too. Then I thought maybe she left??? Eventually she came back with Starbucks in hand. Wow, she had a little mommy time to herself. Fun. Maybe I'll try that one day. NOT!

Anyway, here's a little glimpse of our outing.

After story time we went to the mall to ride the carousel. Again. That has become our go to activity. But they love it so it works.

A Picture A Day

I have made a decision. One of several for this new year. In the hopes of distracting myself from the enormous laundry pile looking at me   practicing my photography every day this year, I am attempting to do "A Picture A Day " blog. I've seen other blogs like this so it's not something that I came up with. I just want to really work on my photography. It's something that I love and want to continue to grow in.

So please feel free to head over there and take a look. I've already missed January 4th. Oh well. I'll do the best I can. I am a mother of three busy, busy angel babies you know.
