First time the little stinker actually listened to me when I told her to sit still and smile.

Thanks for hosting!

Some Pretty Bokeh

I've been getting a little bored with my photography lately, I really want to see all those beautiful leaves and flowers that everyone else seems to have but that is just not happening right now.  So I decided to pull out and dust off my good ol' 55-200 mm lens and give it a good workout.  

Wow, I really like the photos I took yesterday, look at all the delicious bokeh.

My husband smokes, which I'm not very fond of.  But he has to deal with my faults such as my procrastination, laziness, messiness, crabbiness, pessimism (I like to call it realism)....the list goes on.  We're both not perfect, and that's okay.

The neighbor's cat downstairs, she (or he, not sure) was being very nosy while we were outside the other day, and Lucy thought the cat was being very funny, she likes cats a lot.  As for me, I like them, but don't think I could deal with the fur shedding, my hair shedding drives me crazy enough.

I Heart Faces: "A Slice of Life"

DSC_1049

This is my "slice of life".  This is what I do every single day, watch my daughter as she watches the world.  She opens my eyes again and inspires me.

Momma in Focus

So I didn't follow the "sweets theme" for Friday's Momma in Focus (trying to avoid sweets right now anyway), but I still wanted to share these because I like the idea of mommy being in the pics with her kiddies too.

This is probably the most spring-like thing around here, little buds starting to form on only some of the trees.
