some new favorite pictures....

Picture blogs are my favorite.  I love to take pictures.  I love to edit pictures.  I love it that I live in a time when cameras and photo editing software are so readily available.  Here are some of my recent favorite pictures :)

Matty....being Matty.

Sledding with as many people as possible on the sled.  My BIL, my hubby, my little ones and my sister's youngest.

My boho girl Anna.

Drew, on the day he turned 18.  Such a hard day for this mama and an exciting day for him.

a few more winter pictures....

My poor children.  I get a bug to take pictures and they are my subjects.  Luckily, Anna loves to get her picture taken.  Matthew is so/so about it.  And Drew rarely joins us.  We went over to the woods by our house and did a few shots.  It was only 24 degrees, so it wasn't the best experience.  But I did get a few that I love.

blizzard of 2014

So 2014 started off with a bang.  Of course, I was on Winter Break with the kids.  Being a lunch lady means when they are home, so am I.  We had celebrated Christmas, had a very quiet and fun New Years Eve and were ready to head back to school on the following Tuesday.  Mother Nature had a different idea all together.  Fishers, Indiana got 12" of snow on Sunday night and the kids still have not gone back to school yet.  Can't beat a 3 week Winter Break with my kiddos :)

One of the perks of taking all of my children's pictures is that if something awesome is happening with Mother Nature, we can do pictures.  I am so proud and excited about our snow pictures.  So much fun!

I did knit both of their hats...they are both the Holly Hat pattern, Anna's with a flower duplicate stitch pattern and Matty's with a Boba Fett duplicate stitch pattern.  My legwarmers are knit with MadTosh Vintage yarn with the Everlong pattern.
