Day 193: Tim & Laura's Cake

We went to a wedding of some friends in Toronto - Tim and Laura.

I was able to try out one of the lenses the photographer was using (the 70-200 2.8) during the reception, and grabbed this shot. A fun day!

Day 192 {Eight Months}

Laura's latests:

Pulling herself up to standing onto everything

Growling back at the aunts and uncles

Enjoying all manner of fruits,veggies, and some meat

Kind of sings

Has stood alone a couple times for a few quick seconds

Loves to cuddle (flop) all over mommy before bed

Loves to eat paper and kleenx...

Yes, this shot looks like me when I was little.

 And doing what she loves to do right now: poke people's noses.

Good thing that puppy is stuffed, as James had a decent nosebleed while she was playing with daddy a few days ago.

Day 191 {Tractor & a Ball}

With his two loves - tractors (on his shirt) and his new blue ball.

Life could not get any sweeter. :)

Day 190 {Pool Fun}

Finally put out the kiddie pool, as it has been soo hot these past few days.

They've been loving it. 

Katy, done in after splashing, and cutting her foot.

Day 188 {Sisters}

Katie playing with Laura 

Bird's eye view.

Day 187 {Carriage Ride}

Micah and Rachel in the carriage on Dad Heikoop's birthday celebration.

Poor dears - I made them pose. :)

Day 186 {Multi-tasking Dad}

Sunday afternoon - James prepping his short devotional for that evening while cuddling with a sickish little chubby thing. :)

Day 185 {Stiches from the Past}

Went through a huge de-cluttering from our storage, and this was one of the many items given away. I made it when I was probably 18ish - nothing spectacular, but it was one of the many hand sewing projects I worked on  in my younger years. :)

Day 184 {Breakfast in Bed}

Dear Katy thought of bringing me breakfast in bed all by herself a few mornings ago. :)

I saw the door open, she reached down, picked up the tray and brought it to me.

Pretty sweet, even if the bread was wet from the water on the plate. :)

Day 183 {Cuteness}

Yummy - that's what she is. :)

 

Day 181 {Bedtime Snack}

James shared his orange with me one night, and since I had forgotten to take any shots all day, it was my subject before dashing into bed.

Day 180 {It's Me}

Day 179 {Watchful Eyes}

Listening to some of the uncles on our Sunday night get together.

Day 178 {Little Light}

Burning my last homemade beeswax candle from the good old days. :)

Day 177 {Just a 'Lil Practice}

Putting a bumbo in front of the piano and letting them play to their heart's content is just awesome. :) They love it.

And so do I.

Day 176 {What I'm Reading}

Day 175 {Melodic Gift}

Anne-Marie gave me "Anne's Theme" from PEI which I am so thrilled to have. :) I always had played from her copy. :)

Day 174 {Exploring}

She can get herself into many new places.

Day 173 {Textures}

My curtains late at night.

Day 172 {Fireworks}

My first attempt at firework photography.... :) yup - needs some work. :)
