Game Off!!

We'll so much for that! Football season is over for us in Indy. I think more than anything we beat ourselves. So here's one last Colts photo for the time being. I think I will now convert into a Green Bay fan. Go Packers! Where's the cheese?

Sneak Peeks

Here's a couple of sneak peeks for my friends Dacia and Heather. Hopefully I'll get all of the edits done soon. Brady and Cooper did great for the photos. They even put up with a backdrop change. However by the clothing change I think their patience was running out. Hayden also did a great job. He's a boy on the go, but in between running to Rachel's room to play with the kitchen he would sit in the chair for me and ham it up for a minute or two. My biggest challenge with him was keeping Rachel out of the picture. She wanted a picture with her buddy. :)

New Backdrop

The new backdrop that I had ordered came today. It's a little darker than I thought it would be, but it will be a good addition to my stash. Next on the wish list: a new bag and a new lens. One thing at a time.

At least the sun was back out today. Our activity of choice today was "shopping" with the cart. I would set up all of Rachel's toy food on the piano bench and she would put it all in her shopping cart. Then we would take it to her room and cook something with the play kitchen. This would have went on all day long had not nap time cut it off.

Blah....

It has rained all day long. Here's the lovely view from the back patio. So much for taking a walk today. It's been warm enough, I was hoping to fit one in. However, I did get my New Year's photos scrapbooked. I'm trying to get back in the groove on the scrapbooking. I can't say that I really enjoyed it today. It's just not as fun as it used to be. I like focusing more on taking the photos than messing with them later. Perhaps if I keep caught up it won't be so bad.

January 7th ????

Here's some photographic proof of the crazy weather around here. It just should not be in the mid 60's in January. There was one day last week when my furnace ran all day long, and now this. Of course, it's probaby warm where you are too. It seems like the sleds will remain unused for a while. However, this is Indiana, it may be 10 degrees tomorrow. :)

Our activity of choice today: Playdough.

Staying in...

It's cold today! Rachel and I have stayed in all day. I made up my grocery list and she caught up on a little cooking. :) I'll have to venture out later to the store.

I think our dog is getting senile. We brought her in last night and put her in the garage because it was so cold. She had water, a bed & blankets and still barked to go outside where it was 5 degrees. Finally I gave her a little pill to take the edge off so we could both sleep. Thankfully it's supposed to get warmer soon. The dog is 13 years old and is getting quirkier every day.

Happy New Year

We had a great time ringing in the new year with family and friends. Daniel, Becky, David, and Madelyn joined us as well as our friends the Bohrers and Schmidts. Everyone made it to midnight except for baby Allison. She caught a couple hours of sleep before her midnight family photo. The house is trashed, but it was fun!
