Easter Pictures

Today, I received, by e mail, the easter pictures I took of the girls. Below, you will see them. I have edited them to reflect my personal taste. I am also including a small caption below each of them as is my favorite thing to do. This first photo is of my lil Madison. She had a blast finding eggs that were hidden. They found eggs in bushes, on garden hangers, in trees, under bushes, on the fence, under the hot tub steps... you name it... that's where they were hidden! The had a blast and I was able to just barely capture the moment of Madison finding her first egg. So priceless!
But, before we went out to find eggs, I had the girls pose up for some modeling. Honestly, Maddie wasn't into it, but Mackenzie was. She is such a ham! Here she is laying on the couch in the front room at my mother in law's house. I have applied some spot light to this photo and walah!
Here, I took that same picture of Kenzie and turned it black and white while adding a black vignette to it. I love the way it turned out!!!Madison thought it would be funny to run away from me, but I caught her just in time for a photo! I love it! She is such a cutie! Here I added a white vignette that I have faded around the edges to show a little foggy effect if you will...
And again, Maddie doing what she does best..... See, I have found with her it is best to capture moments while she is in motion. She loves picking flowers, so this was just perfect for a photo!
And lastly, because they recieved a beach ball sprinkler, we put their bathing suits on them and let them play in it. After they were done and wet, I was able to get a picture of them laying in the grass with their shades on! As you can see they both were getting tired of the Mamaratzi by now.

And that's all I have to share with you for now. More to come as I can, but until I get my camera it will be few and far between. I know I will have pics of Maddie's birthday party at the beach, but I don't know what else I'll be able to capture til I get that camera. I did look at 2 different cameras today. They were both digital slr's and I have to say, I love that I can manually zoom in on my target. No, I did not buy one. I am not ready to I am just looking and trying to decide which camera is best for me for now. I'll be sure to share with you all when I do buy one.

Lastly, thank you carol for letting me take the pics on your camera. Thank you Amanda for e mailing them to me. Thank you Stephanie for your input on how to do a few things with these photos.

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
