frog hunting with Jocelyn

While Miles was at day camp this week, Joss and I went out to a friend’s property to explore, hunt for frogs and snap a few photos. I’m so in love with this little girl. Join us on this warm, sunny June morning.

    She is just amazing.. brings back so many memories of my little Betsy Jo at that age. sunshine to my life.

spring is finally here!

It’s finally beautiful here in Indiana, after the most miserable tease of an early spring, but alas, I’ve been so sick with a cold and sinus infection that I haven’t been able to get out and enjoy it. I finally decided to just fill my pockets with tissues, get off the couch and get out…

    What type of dog is Bruno? I am so glad the weather is FINALLY warming up! Spring officially started at the end of March, but it hasn’t felt like spring until this past week.

    Miles and Jossy seem to be enjoying this beautiful weather!

reading nests and favorite books

When Jocelyn gets restless, I throw down some blankets and dump a basket of books out for her to pour over. I call it a reading nest. Miles has his Legos and of course his endless crafts, but even he can still be enticed by a reading nest. Today it was Jocelyn who settled in….

    We loooove books! Hands down best gift for any kid or parent. Thanks for the great suggestions! We love “Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type,” “Little Blue Truck,” “Goodnight Gorilla,” anything by Sandra Boynton, and the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. I could list books all day 🙂 I just ordered “We Belong Together,” can’t wait to get it!

    Most of Mem Fox’s books although I’m partial to her older books like Koala Lou. Good Aussie author for you 🙂

    The Hairy Maclary books are favs as well.

    A Canadian friend introduced us to Robert Munsch years ago and sent us her thrift shop finds of his books. They were much loved in this house.

    In a few years I will share with you some fab Aussie authors that write for children a little older than Miles 😉

    Betsy, my kids and I love books illustrated by Charles Fuge. I Know A Rhino has to be one of my favorites because my son loves stuffed animals. Sometimes I Curl Up in a Ball is also sweet.

    Ooooh I LOVE this! Such a clever idea and thanks for sharing the book picks! I can’t wait to start adding to Dean’s collection. He LOVES We Go Together already!

helping out

Jocelyn is such a little helper and wants to do EVERYTHING all by herself. It takes patience, time (especially when it’s the carseat she wants to do all by herself) and sometimes a mop and broom. Had to capture this precious time where she’s trying so hard to be all grown up. Here she is…

your reading is important to us, please stand by

January is traditionally a time for photographers to hibernate, let self doubt set sink in and re-group for the year ahead. This year started off like a bang for me and I’ve been shooting like crazy. (Something that really took me by surprise.) I have so many things I want to blog, but really need… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
