Grocery Cart Craziness

My three year old is crazy. She is fearless and always into mischief. Her favorite t.v. show right now is Lazytown, with Sporticus being her HERO. She loves to flip and jump and be completely athletic and physical in everything that she does. And here’s the catch, she loves wearing lipstick while doing it!

Today we went shopping. She scouted out this particular grocery cart for some strange reason. And then, we watched in utter dismay as she began doing all sorts of acrobatic maneuvers on the handle. I always carry a camera with me and thought I’d share a little bit of what we as her parents go through….enjoy.

My House

Who are the people in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-hoooood? Starting a series this week of people in my neighborhood. The challenge will be to get people to do it. HA HA! And have them not become self conscious. Hmmm….

Yesterday, while my daughter was working on her rollerblading skills, it seemed to spark a frenzy of attention with the kids who live on my street. Suddenly there were rollerblades and bicycles and ripsticks all up and down the sidewalk in front of my house. And I love being the house the kids come to. When kids are free to be, anything can happen!

Hunter

I’m off to Lincoln, Nebraska this morning to do some corporate staff headshots. When I get back I will catch up on all the 365 days I’ve missed. I may even have a brand new tattoo to show off. Who knows what Cindy will do in the bustling metropolis of Lincoln. Never been there, I heard it’s cold. Does anyone need headshots in Florida by chance? No? Hmmmm…..

Playing around in our backyard..before the snow came (it’s gone now!). Boys are funny, especially at the ages of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, ….. but I managed to get Hunter to look straight into the camera for me without giggling or being shy. Oh, the stories I could tell you about our next door neighbor Hunter. BUT, I know his mom reads this blog so I won’t incriminate him. Wink, wink.

His mom would agree with me though that Hunter is a red-head through and through.

This child of mine is a total hellion. I’m not joking. She can tear my house apart in 10 minutes flat. I popped popcorn for the girls, who were supposed to be watching a movie. I then found my darling smashing popcorn into tiny bits and throwing it like confetti. She thinks she’s so cute.

Grand Prize

Cindy — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:14:43 +0000

We got in at nearly 1 am this morning after what was supposed to be a 10.5 hour drive. It turned out to be a 14 hour drive due to snow and ice. Yuck. I am knee deep in laundry and helping my children unpack and put their new Christmas gifts in an appropriate place, which is not the middle of my living room or kitchen floors. Pictures and writing all coming soon…needless to say, after six months of waiting for this gift, V is ecstatic. Waiting is good for the soul.

Official Christmas Card

Cindy — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:43:22 +0000

The other night we were decorating our tree. My three year old, as three year olds do, has a penchant for being naked. Immediately upon entering our home from being outside, she will begin to tear away at her clothing and march around the house “free” as we like to call it. As we were emptying our boxes of decorations she reached into one and pulled out a Santa hat, promptly put it on and continued with the task of decorating. Once the tree was complete, she jumped up with a sudden urge to go into the garage. We stood waiting, wondering what she was doing. When she appeared she was carrying an item that last year had brought her great joy at this time. The ornament buster. She seemed to have gone into a trance as she stood solid before our newly decorated Christmas tree…pondering her first move. And quietly, I snapped this picture…but just so you know, she was denied the cheerful exclamation “I WIN” she so exuberantly announced last year after busting several of our ornaments. And her little heart was devastated. But the moment will live on…

A Taste of Thai

Cindy — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:03:26 +0000

A friend of mine is part Thai and went to Thailand last January for the first time. She brought back these cute little dresses and umbrellas for her niece and two daughters. She asked if I would take some pictures to send to her mother. The fall colors were still barely hanging on and so I made good use of what was left.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a spread of my daughter. I’ve been wanting to do one, but time and life keeps getting in the way. She is growing up so fast. Some of my fondest memories as a child were at the age of nine. The age she is now. I’m trying to remember what I needed most at that age, so I can provide for her now. So much to think about right now as she heads into the tween years. I guess I’m not being very eloquent in my speech here. But I love her. She is my world.

The Remnants of Autumn

A photographer friend of mine was coming up from Cincinnati to visit some relatives and asked me if I would be willing to photograph her sister’s children. I was totally flattered and a bit apprehensive with the challenge. It’s not easy photographing for another photographer but I think together we pulled this one off. There is a mingling here of my photographer friends nieces and nephew and her own children. We had a lot of fun and everyone was pretty laid back. All of these children are under the age of seven!!

My Little P

Cindy — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:51:51 +0000

It’s been so beautiful this week. My eldest daughter has been sick with some kind of bug and I’m really not gonna say the H1N1 word…oops, I just said it. I’m pretty sure that’s not what we were dealing with here but who knows, it’s going around like crazy. With the recent news of a meteor shower due to remnants of Haley’s Comet, I thought I’d get up and check it out this morning. When I awoke at 4am, I noticed my three year old sleeping beside me, was very very warm. Hot, in fact. A temperature check and we are now into the passing of the baton from her older sister. Fever, 101 and that was taken by way of her reluctant armpit. I’m guessing it was a bit higher. Yuck. I hate when my children are sick. Yesterday though, we were outside admiring the warmth of an Indian summer….So I snapped a few. I think I can already see in her eyes, that she was starting to not feel good.
