Day 170 - new artist is born
So Emmaline is following in her mamas footsteps. Another artist is born. Yup, I'm so proud. She definately has her own "style" and did this pic free hand in no time flat.

Day 169 (24 wks) - SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!
Many of you remember how completely excited I was at finding the "Toy Car Story" cars awhile back. I even went online ISO the other "Car" parody cars (bugs life, monsters inc...etc). Well, no such luck. I DID, however find Mike and Sully online but didn't make that final step to purchase them online. Just couldn't do it.
So imagine my glee (reminicent of a 2 yr old) in seeing Mike and Sully at TARGET!! Oh yeah, baby. They're mine. ALLLLLLL mine.

Day 166 - BRACED!
Emmy began phase II orthodontic treatment today. Lucky me, I got to put her braces on. :)
I caught her while eating, hence the "chipmunk cheeks".

Day 163 - "valley faire"
This is a lithograph my mother bought at an art auction many years ago. The hills remind me of Vacaville. It hangs it my living room and reminds me t have "fun" now and again.

Day 162 - hold my hand (23 wks)
I must have a *thing* for hands...here's a recent pic of Ian holding my hand. Wow, has he grown.
Holding my hand at 4 months old
comparison pic I did waaaay back of him holding my finger at 2 days old and 2 months old. Yes, that first picture his entire hand only covered the end of my forefinger.

Day 160 - Six Flags; revisited
newborn butterfly drying its wings
yea!!! I finally got a pristine pic SOOC! (and a TON of bokeh/DOF)
I did not use any actions/ blurring on this. I think the soft focus is from the EXTREME high humidity in there. LORD we were soaking wet when we left and we were only in there about 15 minutes.
taking a breather..
see ya later alligator

Day 159 - Pretty in Pink
I looked out of my window and saw this bizarre sky. I've heard the saying "red sky in morning, sailors take warning...red sky at night, sailors delight." So.....what's pink mean?
my well loved, well worn flip-flops.

Day 156 - simply red
My mini roses in the backyard. WOW. When did THIS color happen? Keep in mind this bud measures 1.5 inches across.Defogged, burned egdes. That's it. Seriously. The color was almost TOO much for my camera all by it's natural ol' self. NO colorpop needed or used.
I KNOW I did the "ring thang" yesterday but I went out back to take pics and saw THIS floating in my pool. Since hubby works for Target I had to take the pic. You understand.Jun 10, 2007

Day 148 - Discovering Discovery Kingdom (21 wks)
Seriously I could have posted about 30 pics today. We had such fun at Six Flags (no longer Marine World) Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo.
One of two, newer, younger dolphins...boy they were having a blast. This one kept zooming in on Ian who was sitting in the window.
At first I was really bummed with how this pic turned out but once I opened it on my computer at home...I loved it!

Day 147 - Park it!
After months and months of waiting our new park opened up. Of course we had to test drive everything. It was fun! Ian loved the bulldozers and Emmy loved the spinning seat.
