day 63

I found this really great website the other day. Sometimes we print pictures off the internet to colour, the little man usually picks dinosaurs. I was excited when I found the website http://www.patternsforcolouring.com/ . I printed one off for myself and now the boy loves colouring these patterns too. Perfect for this cold, and now rainy day.

Concentration.

Calm before the storm.

day 60

How lovely the little river is, with its dark changing wavelets! It seems to me like a living companion while I wander along the bank, and listen to its low, placid voice . . . George Eliot

I was pleasantly surprised with how these turned out post-edit.  I took them a while ago, but never did anything with them because I thought they were too 'blah'.  Having said that, I loved the colour of the boats, so I saved them.  I'm glad I did.   

day 59

This was my husband's choice for dessert tonight for his birthday.  I'm not complaining - yum! 

Before I started this blog, I told myself that there were going to be days where I wouldn't know what to take pictures of and that they wouldn't all be 'beautiful'.  I told myself that, I needed to take pictures of  what I want to remember from today.  Now that I am at day 59 - I find I am setting expectations for myself rather high.  Sometimes, pictures don't turn out how you want them too, or there isn't enough time in the day to take one while the lighting is good.  And that's okay.  That's life.  I found myself at 8:00 taking picture of my melting ice cream and then my battery died.   I guess my photo subject was settled for me.  And, I'm okay with that because tonight, I'd rather be spending time with my husband.

day 58

Snow ball fight!  We don't usually get snow this time of the year here - but surprise, here it is!  I love watching my boy and his daddy play together.  My husband works so hard to provide for us during the week - it's good to see him play.  The boy loves, loves, loves playing with his daddy - so all is good. 

Accidental ice sculpture.

day 57

Today we celebrated my husband's 33rd birthday with some of our family - although the big day isn't until Monday.  I love this shot - it is very candid - and he didn't mind that I posted it!  What a great man I married.
