indie
she is hard to describe, she is hard to reason with, she is hard to rationalize with…. this is one child who was born to be a hippy. happiest without clothing on, happiest without shoes, and most definitely happiest when a mess. she sure is cute and sure is perfectly content wearing a white dress...
special time of year
our family loves when it is blackberry season. each year we venture out to our favorite picking spot in the whole city. it might seem like a strange location to anyone else, but to our family it is special. we head to the cemetery in royal oak. the kids grandma valerie is there. she died...
sleeping sam
nothing better then coming home and finding your friend visiting with a brand new 8 week old puppy. chocolate lab puppies are just so darn cute, he loved biting lola’s fur on her paws and tail and chasing her around the yard and then of course a long nap after all that play. so very...
summer vacation
wow, longest road trip ever. we did so much, went so many places and had so much fun. we spent time with very good friends, went to what might be the best family reunion ever, visited dinosaurs and dug for fossils, hung out with sisters and cousins and shopped. we drove through beautiful mountain passes,...

friendship
i had this vision, of many girls, all friends at the lake just playing and enjoying life. i am pretty sure it was more a vision of a jcrew ad, or gap ad. all adorable, perfectly styled summer clothing, all matching. so my daughter invited enough friends, to fill every seat in our 8 passenger...
new camera
my new camera came yesterday. my D800. i am not sure what to say about it yet. i am not blown away, but really i just needed a replacement for my old, in need of repair and maintenance, D700. It seemed silly to just get the same camera again, so i upgraded. it is huge....
sticks and stones
