day 15, 16 and 17...

 day 15... car

I pulled an old photo out for this one. Lilly and Chloe were visiting Texas and stayed the night with me. After they left I wasn't feeling well so this photo didn't get taken. I love this one of Oliver checking out his toddler sized Lightening McQueen power wheels.

day 16... sunglasses

This shot just happened. I sat down on the couch and saw the great reflection in my sunglasses right where I had left them on the coffee table. (This is shot is SOC)



day 17... something green

We hit the rodeo again today with Kate, Matt and Amelia. It was packed and almost everyone had green on. then I remembered this adorable pie shack.  It is called Pie in the Sky and they have stores in The Heights and in Conroe. Patrick and Kate had pie I had a bite of Kate's Bumbleberry pie and it was yummo!

at the beach...

I am spending the week in Corolla NC with Kate, Matt and Matt's family. It is beautiful. The house we are staying in isn't on the road. We drive 2.5 miles past the end of the road on the beach to get here. We can see the sound from the front of the house and the ocean from the back. I am missing my husband terribly but I am loving this kind of beach experience.

 

Did I mention there are horses too! 

days 16-25...

this is going to be a long post...



day 16...experimenting with light trails.

Taken from the balcony of our hotel in Ocean City. Traffic wasn't very heavy.



day 17...street lights.

I grabbed this one before we left on vacation.




days 18... depicting emotion

Kate and Matt... he is still looking a little surprised and bewildered. When I showed them this shot Matt said ... "Did I do that?" in a great deadpanned Erkle voice.


day 19...involves landscape.

I love the little stretch of prairie between Mom's section of our neighborhood and ours.




day 20...what ever you please.

One happy little guy. He is getting so big.


day 21...sunset.

These are always easy shots here in our new neighborhood. Almost every evening Patrick and I watch a beautiful sunset while we walk the trails.


day 22...a person you love.

Patrick.


day 23... makes you think of childhood.

Sisters sharing secrets.



day 24... has a color scheme

I again forgot to replace the memory card in the camera when we went to Assateague, so the above is a cell phone photo.



day 25... what ever you please.

My nephew, Spencer, does not usually let me take his picture. While we were in Maryland he allowed me a few shots. This is my favorite, and since he let me take more than one I have another that I like...

Whew... now I am only one day behind!

a full house...

The kids spent Memorial day weekend with us in our new home. It was a lot of fun to have a full house. A five bedroom house seems a little crazy when it is just Patrick and I but when the kids are all here is is just right. We spent most of our time here in our neighborhood enjoying each others company and the community amenities. Kate plunked on Patrick's new bass. Oliver and I took a nice walk and saw the fountains, turtles, fish and water fowl while Patrick took the "big" kids to a ball game.

We spent a lot of time at the pool.

It was a joy to watch Oliver play. He loves cars and trains and when he found the matchbox cars he spent a long long time looking over each and every car and lining them up. He is getting so big.
.

He even spent a little time playing guitars with Grandpa.
