Funny Face...

Oh...this one makes me laugh.  She is such a character!

Hear the wind blow...

So often the younger child doesn't have as many photos as the older one.  I'm sensitive to that, being the baby of the family myself.  lol.  But it's difficult to get good photos of Abigail when the girls are together and Abigail is never awake unless Hannah is awake too.  So.....on the spur of the moment yesterday we asked G-Pa to play with Hannah for a few minutes and took Abigail outside for a little "mini-session".  At this age, that pretty much always means sitting on the bench, because it's the only place she will be remotely still.  Ha ha.  She was VERY happy out there, even tho' it was almost time for her nap.  There was a little breeze and she was enjoying watching the plants "dance".  So sweet...

In the garden's glow...

Shot for week 31 of the 52 week project.  Theme was "muted".  I really wasn't sure what I would shoot for this challenge, but Hannah agreed to come outside and play with this flower for a few minutes.  As soon as I saw it, I knew this was my shot...but with very different processing than I usually do.  It just seemed to beg for something soft and muted. 

Fearfully and wonderfully...

L's mom asked me to put together a collage of little body parts and this was the result.  This is a first for me and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out.  Definitely hope to do more of this in the future.  So sweet.  And does this girl have the most beautiful mouth, or what?  Sleep peacefully, little one.  This is the end of your photo session.  :)

Love is...

Precious...

From Russia with love...

My second experiment with adding a sky overlay.  Actually, this one was much easier once we figured out the directions.  Kara is in the process of having canvas prints from her travels made for her apartment.  So far, she has prints from New Zealand, Greece, and the Redwood Forest.  We just ordered this print from Russia.  The overlay is subtle, but I like how it made the sky a bit more interesting. Can't wait to see how all these prints will look when we hang them in a grouping. 

She's a two fisted kind of girl...

Shot for week 30 of the 52 weeks project. Theme was "new".  Coloring was definitely a new experience for Abigail, but she surprised us with how long it held her attention.  I love her technique.  Classic Abigail.  From the time she could sit up, she has kept a toy in each hand, crawling with both hands full, 2 leaves if she's outdoors...so, of course, she colored with a crayon in each hand.  I think my favorite is the upper right one where she's trying to hold 3 crayons.  Lol.  I love our silly girl!
