Let's Do 52 - week 3

week 3: abandoned Greyson was playing with his truck and I guess just got worn out. I thought this fit perfectly with this weeks theme "abandoned". All my pictures so far have been of Baby G. I really tried to get one of Avery this week, but she is always go, go, go!!! No time to stop and have her picture taken! ;)

I couldn't resist snapping this one too...

poor little guy!

experienced your first snow

and

visited TWO states

Avery LOVES movies!!!

She is WAY too good at using Daddy's iPad.

She also really likes looking at books & putting together puzzles & coloring (especially color wonder)

Avery never stops moving & she loves to DANCE!

She is full of all kinds of stalling tactics when it is time for bed...

I need a drink of water

I need all my kitties

I need to go potty

I'm hungry

Will you lay with me for just a little bit a while

Avery is 100% potty trained...yay!!!!!!

Avery is still in her crib, with NO interest in going to her big girl bed

She likes to use BIG words like fantastic, huge, amazing & special

She is silly & funny

Avery is a GREAT big sister!

She is always bringing Grey toys, and hugging & kissing him

Sweet Avery, Mommy & Daddy LOVE you...

bunches & bunches!!!

Let's Do 52 - week 2

Week 2: metal

Greyson was playing with this metal baby spoon (which I think belonged to his Gumpy!). This wasn't the shot I had envisioned in my head, but I think it turned out really cute...I love how the spoon is upside down & that all I caught of his face was his mouth!

It's not too late to join in!

First Snow!

Greyson experienced his first snow on Sunday!

Flashback to March 2008...

Avery's first snow

It's crazy...

I don't think of TX as a place that gets snow,

but we have had snowfall every year since Avery was born!

2011 Challenge

This year I really want to try to improve my photography skills.

Last year I tried a photography class, but the structure of it was not for me...I didn't understand the terminology & by the time I figured out what we were talking about we had moved on to something else. I'm not usually a quitter, but I only went to half the classes before I got completely frustrated with it.

This year I am challenging myself...

That's a themed photo a week for the entire year with challenges along the way.

Week 1: New Beginnings
