3 day weekend

Four years ago this weekend, I was getting married. It was a VERY busy weekened. This weekend we have nothing big planned. Yesterday we went to the eye doctor and I got the Night & Day contacts. I'm going to love them.

Other than that, I've been playing with my new toy and getting stuff done around the house. I also created a picture for our website. The picture that was on there was from before we were married!

Here's the new picture (some pictures taken by Kristen of K Holly Studios):




Maya faces (just a select few I took so far this weekend)

Sweet Potatoes!





Maya had sweet potatoes for the first time tonight. I baked it and she had it fresh out of the oven/blender.







She did pretty well at first. She made some cute sour faces and then threw it all up :( We'll try again Thursday.

Summer days

I haven't gotten my new camera yet but I figure I can still post some pictures that I took yesterday with my handy canon powershot. My husband was out working in the yard and I took Maya next door to look at the neighbor's pond. Right when I looked down at the water I saw I frog so I had to run back to the house to grab the camera. I put Maya on the grass near her dad and when I got back I saw the two of them sitting in the grass together....


I cropped and did some minor editing... (I'm still VERY new to editing and photography)


And the real reason I got the camera. The first picture is cropped and the second one is the original.



I couldn't not take pictures of my beautiful baby girl...


First blog post

More coming soon!!! I'm real excited about my new camera purchase. I should receive it later this week.
