Party Girls

Sophia had her birthday party with her BFF’s this past Saturday. She opted to have a craft party at Michael’s where she and her friends decorated purses. They used paint, glue and lots of bling to make their bags look quite spectacular. They also enjoyed snacks and cupcakes and the girls sang “Happy Birthday” to Sophia over the store intercom. Her party on Saturday was the third of four birthday celebrations. She celebrated her birthday with classmates at school on June 2 and with daycare friends on June 10. Tomorrow is the highlight of her celebrations with a day of hanging out with Dad, opening presents, going out for pizza and ice cream cake for dessert from DQ. Needless to say, she is VERY excited.

MCP Project 52 ~ Week 23

Week 23 Theme ~ Enchanted

I took this photo of these beautiful flowers on a crab apple tree in our backyard. When we moved to our house nearly 12 years ago, this tree didn’t look as though it would make it another year. Woodpeckers had made holes in the trunk. There were several dead branches. As the years passed by, I kept thinking the tree had bloomed for the last time. But once again this year, the buds opened to display these pretty blooms. I took this photo last week just a couple of days before we had strong winds that made the pedals cascade down like rain making our backyard look enchanted.

Week 21 Theme ~ A Need For Speed

Our very old swing set is still a favorite place for the kids to spend time after school. Sophia and Sebastian both swing so high that they brush the tree branches behind them.

I also had the opportunity to photograph the Hon. James L. Oberstar as it was being towed in place behind the DECC for its christening during the “need for speed” theme week. Mike would not have enjoyed the location for taking the photographs – on top of the DECC Arena roof. It was a little freaky to be that high up, but I stayed several feet from the edge. There was not much “speed” in this photo, but slow and steady helped to get the ship in its very tight port behind the DECC.

Week 22 Theme ~ Reflection

With all of the craziness of this past week, including my birthday, baseball games, practices, volleyball, grad parties, etc., I didn’t have time to take a “reflection” photo. Instead, here is a favorite reflection from last year at Hartley pond on Father’s Day.
