Alrighty!


So, I've taken a bit of a break from photography and blogging while I transition from working part time as an administrative assistant back into full time teaching. Thankfully I am assisting on a wonderful team in an amazing school with a very supportive administrator and board.   I work in the kindergarten classroom and now I'm pretty much in bed sleeping when I'm not teaching (or driving my own kids around)!  And, while I have certainly been taking photos in our classroom, those are for a different purpose and not for sharing here.  I have missed working with pictures on my blog though and I did find time for some recently.  I'll continue as time allows, so here goes.  I like this one because the tomatoes are green - like I am in my new job!  I know, clever as ever.

Found it funny this morning on my way to the coffee pot to see the cushions we used last night on the deck to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower.

Happy Birthday, Baby Boy

My forever baby boy would be 12 years old today.  We celebrated at Blue Shutters Beach in Rhode Island. After 12 years, I've come to welcome this day and the certainty it provides -- that it will be spent with loved ones, in a beautiful place, having fun.

Beach bedroom 9

Hey, sorry for all the boring bedroom photos, but this was a major accomplishment this summer and well, it's my blog.

We switched to a bedspread because our bedroom is off the dining room now and when you look down the hall you can see under our bed before.  Not that there's much down there after a summer of decluttering, but a bedspread looks neater.  I love this bad boy and its sandy, calming neutrals.  However, the threads pull up very easily and so I have to keep yelling an everyone to get off the bed or be very careful employed a pet and children retraining program to try and keep it nice for as long as possible.

Beach bedroom 8

There was a fold down desk in the old kitchen of our house when we moved in.  It was painted bright red and had seen better days aged nicely.  Because I'm weird cool and spent the summer not getting paid  trying to stay in budget, it seemed a logical choice for wall decor in the new beachy bedroom.  So, I researched nautical signal flags and Paul and I decided on this one which stands for the letter H (house/home/haven, in our application) and Pilot on Board.  Paul agreed to the whole "painting the old desk and hanging it on the wall" plan as long as he gets to be the pilot.  Done deal! (Except for the fact that the red is bleeding through and right now it is more pink and red than white and red, sigh).

Armed for the garden

Annie was recently asked to pick some veggies from the garden for dinner.  I caught sight of her as I was grilling.  She suited up with my rain boots, a colander helmet, and the canoe oar so she could fight off our rooster as she headed into the garden.  Priceless!

Look at Karma (the dog) trying to make sense of it!  Or are they discussing battle plans?

Guest photographer

Paul was trying for some perspective by putting Emma in front of a huge pile of wood -- she turned it into a country photo shoot.  And, Paul swears this does no justice in showing how huge the pile of wood actually is.
