thursday's sunshine moments...


~another sunny day...laid out on the deck...
hot sun against my face...bokeh in my eyelashes

~13 making a video for her dad...

~giggling with 13 at a phone call between
her grandmother and i regarding her new
boyfriend status...


~wearing a jean skirt and bare legs...taking
pictures in the park...

~a cold "snack and a half" ice cream sandwich
in the freezer...just waiting for the kids to go
to bed...

~finding out that a photo of mine
made it to front page flickr
{that's a first time for me!!}

wednesday sunshine moments...


~pictures taken...one family session at the beach
and one for an author who may use them for a
cd cover...pretty exciting night!!

~sunshine, sunshine, sunshine!

~toast thick with butter and jam for breakfast, dinner
and supper

~happy aching muscles after last night's workout

~an ice cold glass of pepsi shared on the couch with
the sweetest guy ever...

tuesday sunshine moments...

little things bringing me happiness today...

~planning to go to a uber-hard exercise class
tonight with my sister in law...and sweat
out some of this frustration.

~opening my email to find this
featured from maggie may i? designs
when i woke up this morning...
so sweet {and great blog, also...
love finding new to me blogs!!}

~editing pictures from a recent day
spent at the beach with family....
so much sandy fun and giggles....
i especially love these pics of my dad...

~the appearance of the sun today!!

monday sunshine moments...

little things that made me happy today:

~my husband has been sick all weekend...
{which did not make me happy}
we spent a couple of hours in the emergency
ward tonight to make sure he didn't have
meningitis....and he didn't.
this is a good thing.
~the sun broke through the clouds
for at least an hour...maybe two....

~listening to nine's constant chatter
to himself as he plays on the computer
behind me...
~fresh strawberries dipped in
the sugar dish eaten while standing
in the light of the refridgerator...
oh, how i love the textures and the feelings...
every photo draws me in like a story...

sunday sunshine moments...


things that made me happy today...

~pancakes made by S. this morning
with fresh strawberries and salty bacon

~a late afternoon nap by an open window
and then spending an hour reading more
of this book

~kisses on the back of my neck while
doing the dishes

~a little bit of late afternoon sun
unexpected but so appreciated...

~this poem by this cutie...which
makes me think of summer and
sticky sweet sunshine which is what
i wanted today...
