Day 255

9.14.09 - Pic of the day is MIA/ still trying to hunt it down. :-(

Day 254

9.13.09 - One of my favorite family photos to date. This was a great session and we captured a lot of great shots!

Day 253

9.12.09 - Auntie is in town!! She is going to be here all week. How fun!!

Day 252

9.11.09 - I thought about putting a photo up of a flag or a photo of the twin towers in NY or some other symbol that is often related to 9/11 but when I saw this photo of my friends daughter I took while at her house I knew it would be my picture of the day. The look of wonder in her eyes and innocence is so precious. I do pray for all of those people who lost family and friends on this day 8 years ago but see this photo as one of the reasons everyone moves forward. For our children.

Day 251

9.10.09 - Andrew's teachers sent this little note home with him today. That's my boy! :-) He really does have great manners and it's so nice to hear others say that about him. It's so important for our kids to treat others with respect and to be kind.

Day 250

9.09.09 - Bummer!!! We've been watching this watermelon grow bigger each day just waiting for it to get big enough to pick and eat it. We are having a cold front move in a few days so I though we better go ahead and pick it. When I sliced it open Andrew said "BUMMER!" No kidding kid.

I loved having a cooler summer this year but our garden did not like it so much. :-(

Day 249

9.8.09 - Andrew's first day of Junior Kindergarten. Wow, he was so excited and just couldn't wait to get to school. He thinks he is so big with his backpack. He's killing me! Thank goodness we have one more year until Kindergarten.

Day 248

9.7.09- Tomorrow is Andrew's first day of Jr. K and I wanted him to take something nice to his teachers. I haven't created anything in so long. It was fun to get out the paper, glue, stamps, scissors and sewing machine again!

Day 247

9.6.09 - Andrew had a very fun playdate today. He played with two of his favorite girls Lily and Rhegan. They are so cute together. There were so many great photos of the day (Andrew in his tutu, the kids playing with roly poly's) but I love this photo because the look of determination on Rhegan's face is priceless. To get them to turn around we told them the icecream man was outside. :-)

Day 246

9.05.09 - Andrew loves taking his baths. He likes to hold his breath and just listen to the sounds under the water. I remember doing that as a kid.

Day 245

9.4.09- This picture pretty much sums up today. I spent the afternoon in a fog and slept for 14hours. LOL (I blacked out some info because I don't want too much info on the internet.)

Day 244

9.3.09 - Today Andrew had his meet and greet for his new preschool. His new teachers are Miss Marilyn and Miss Amy. He had a nice time meeting his new teachers and some new friends as well. There are 14 kids in his class and 12 are boys!! LOL He just can't wait to start on Tuesday.

Day 243

9.2.09 - We had our weekly playgroup at the spray grounds this afternoon. The kids had a blast running in the water and just running basically. Such a great group of kids.

Day 242

9.1.09 - Andrew desperately needed a hair cut. This boy's hair is so thick and just gets bushy when it's long. I love him with a fresh hair cut. He's so handsome. (Besides the chest of hair Daddy thought would be funny to give him.)

Day 241

8.31.09 - Nana bought Andrew a slinky today. Target has a ton of retro toys and this was one of them. Who doesn't remember having a slinky when they were a kid? A must have toy.

Day 240

8.30.09 - Blake hooked the Wii back up and Andrew can't stop playing it. He loves playing mario cart. I love how serious he gets when he plays. He takes these big breaths when he's in the middle of the game. Too funny!

Day 239

8.29.09 - We spent some time in the backyard this evening. I know these warm summer nights will soon be ending and we'll be bundled up playing outside. No more shorts, bare feet or green grass. Fall will be here soon.

Day 238

8.28.09 - Today I had the honor of phtographing a military promotion. A friend of mines husband was promoted to Major. It was a great day and I captured some nice moments.

Day 237

8.27.09 - The phrase of the day was... "I can not believe Andrew did that!" We took a drive up to Vail with Nana and Papa and went to the top of the mountain on the gondola. Soon Andrew spotted the trampoline bungee ride and wanted to go on it. Andrew is not one to go on these rides, he is very reserved. We thought he'd change his mind when it was his turn but just like a big boy he got on it, got strapped in and went for it. He absolutely loved it. In fact, when he got off he wanted to get right back on. So, he went again and this time did two flips. Atta boy!!

Day 236

8.26.09 - Today Nana & Papa came for a visit and surprised Andrew big time! We drove out to the airport telling him we were going to watch planes land and then we drove over to the terminal to get "a closer look" and low and behold there were Nana & Papa!!
