February 22, 2007


Madison stayed home from school today and found things to keep her occupied. Here is a self-portrait.

February 21, 2007

In my never-ending quest to make my family healthier, I try to buy foods that look fun to them so they want to eat it.

February 20, 2007

My new adornment. Maybe a direct result from girls' night?? Haha.

I'm trying to be clever here. OK, so I didn't really know what else to shoot haha.

February 18, 2007

Our local library. They are building a new one so this is the temporary location.

February 17, 2007


Girls only! We had a great night out. The girl in the headband is a long time friend of mine and I am shooting her wedding in June. She invited me out w/her girlfriends to hang out in Tremont and we all hit it off right away. What a great group! This was taken around 3am so we don't look all that great lol. We got to bed 2 hours later. :-)

February 16, 2007


We had fun opening up a pomegranate today. It was the first time Madison tried one and she loved it!

February 15, 2007


This is Madison's Valentine's Day party. They had ice cream sundaes and enjoyed being able to make them up. I took her home after this because her throat hurt. I think she was missing me, but she had been sick the night before so I took her home.

February 14, 2007


We got slammed with a lot of snow this week. The kids were off of school for 2 days. I am standing in my driveway here and took pics of all the piles of snow.

February 13, 2007

This was taken on the square in Medina. I love this little spot for some reason. I was driving as I took it because the weather was really bad. You can see the snow on the windshield.

February 12, 2007


Madison's hands get so dry in the winter so we put Vaseline on them with gloves while she sleeps.

February 11, 2007


Madison tries snowboarding. She actually did a pretty good job! Oh, and we're not really into matching our snow gear - they just put on whatever fits haha.

February 10, 2007


I love this photo...these girls are not afraid to be silly and have fun. We were at the mall here enjoying some shopping and lunch. S is on the left.

February 9, 2007


I keep losing images because I allow myself to get too far behind. This is the red paint from my kitchen - it looks great!

February 8, 2007


Katie came over to play today and put makeup on Shelby for fun. She looked crazy!

February 7, 2007


I love bananas! I have one nearly everyday with natural peanut butter and vanilla soy milk.

February 6, 2007


I know this photo is pretty gross, but it was kind of cool to watch the butcher carry it through the Westside Market in Cleveland. It's a great place to buy meat, cheese and produce.

February 5, 2007


Snowday! The girls enjoyed a movie with our visitor.

February 4, 2007


I took this picture in Lakewood of a street sign. I thought Madison would get a kick out of it!

February 3, 2007


Sometimes I get pretty behind on my blog and forget which images I planned on using...this is one of those days LOL. This is the mantle on my fireplace. The one wall isn't finished being painted yet.

You might see some strange images as I play with my new lens haha. This is a bit dark, but I really didn't get anything else today. This is part of my mantle above my fireplace.

February 1, 2007


Yay, Heather came to visit! It's always fun when Heather comes to play. We get to see her more often now that she moved closer.

January 31, 2007

I finally bought the lens I've been wanting! A friend of mine was selling his so I bought it from him - even if he did make fun of me for having a blog lol.

January 30, 2007


My iPod...kind of a silly photo, but I just love this thing. I've been uploading lots of different music onto it lately and listen as I fall asleep. It's usually in a case, but I took it out for it's photo shoot haha.

January 29, 2007


Madison loves horses these days. She received 2 of these big horses for Christmas and plays with them all the time.

January 28, 2007

My niece came today for portraits with her family and her boyfriend. Madison reminds me of Chelsee so I took a photo of the two of them together. She has grown up to be such a sweet and gorgeous girl!

January 27, 2007


Today we celebrated Shelby's birthday. She wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, but wanted me to pick the design and surprise her. She was happy with her cake.

January 26, 2007


This is the inside of Shelby's locker. She shares it with a friend so some of the things aren't hers.

January 25, 2007

Happy Birthday, Shelby! Today Shelby turned 11 and we went out to dinner w/my parents, sister and some friends. This is the iPod I gave her for her birthday.

January 24, 2007


Shelby playing the trumpet during her band concert. I love how her dimples show when she plays.

January 23, 2007



I am painting my back room this color. It looks a bit darker on the walls. I ran out of paint so I need to buy more and finish the last wall.

January 22, 2007


This is my favorite turkey wrap from the health food store. I get one each time I go to Mustard Seed...along with some vegan chocolate chip cookies. I'm getting hungry now!

January 21, 2007


Here is part of my kitchen I just painted mustard yellow. I just love how the yellow looks against the black.

January 20, 2007

I never seem to be able to get any cute shots of Clay so here he is! He is holding a Carolina Panthers paperweight that looks like a huge ring.

January 19, 2007


I have been spending time when I can looking at paint samples.

January 18, 2007



Tonight was Roman Night at Clay's school. This is the project he and his partner worked on for the program.

January 17, 2007


My friend, Jim, died a year ago this month and today was his birthday. I miss him so much. Madison wanted to send some balloons up to him so the four of us wrote messages to him and sent them up to heaven. It was so cold outside so I did get some camera shake because I couldn't stop shivering.



January 16, 2007


Shelby and her friend were having fun jumping in the studio...they couldn't stop laughing!

January 15, 2007


It's always fun when Katie comes to visit! My kids think she is fun and so cool.

January 14, 2007


We had the train set out for a little friend and Clay decided it looked fun to him. I miss the train stage!

January 13, 2007


These chickens were in my mom and dad's front yard! His friend didn't want them anymore so my dad took them...I won't tell you what they had in mind for these.
