Sister Shoot

It's been a week since I had the chance to take my sister out for a quick little photo shoot.  I can't explain how humid it was the morning of this shoot. I just know that I felt completely yucky when we were done. I love my family for putting up with me on this little adventure.  We all made the trek to the train cars in our flip flops. Not the best shoes to wear with all the stones on the tracks.  There weren't any trains running that day for those of you concerned for our safety and when they do run I can probably outrun them. Now, that's really saying a lot, trust me.   I'm finally getting around to posting those pics.  I really don't know how everyone processes their images so fast.  I guess I'll eventually get the hang of it. 

And I decided to go a little artsy on this last one by applying an artistic blur.  I hope it doesn't make my sister's eyes hurt. LOL.

My Smiley

I love her smiley face. She has the same little squinty eye when she smiles that I do, but she makes it really cute.

Little Sis!

I have to first wish you a belated Memorial Day!  Unfortunately, I spent it at work. Boo!  BUT, my sister was off and has been visiting with us for a few days. Yay!

I had a chance to drag her out for a photo shoot on a nice and very humid morning.  What a trooper.  She complained only very little.  ;-)

Let Summer Begin

Little J Bird is out of school for the summer.  It's such a bummer that I have to be working during this time.  She is so excited and full of energy. Today, hubby stayed with her all day long.  By lunch time he was swearing she has ADD.  Ummm, ok, Dad!  It's funny the teachers that have been with her all year long never mentioned it.  LOL.  She does seem to think she's going to play, play, play all summer long.  Ha...do we have her fooled.

This weekend we bought a small blowup pool to get help keep us cooled off this summer.  Of course, J Bird couldn't wait to get in and so we all took the plunge. Really, I just dressed the part, because the moment I felt the cold water and the cool breeze I was done.  Little J Bird toughed it out and had a good time, though.

Waiting

This shot reminded me that not every photo needs to be perfect and that sometimes I need to capture unexpected, unplanned moments like this one. I know it's not great technically, but in others ways I think it's perfect. Last Saturday, Grandma & Grandpa came over to pick J Bird up for the evening. My hubby and I had the rare opportunity to actually go out and see a movie during this time.  In this shot, she had pulled out her desk chair and set up station by the front door waiting for them to arrive. It was really so cute.  Now, if we could only get Grandma & Grandpa to do this more often.  ;-)

I keep going back to these photos and I always end up finding another photo I want to edit.  Here are the last ones from this trip...at least for a while.
