Our Cherry Tree Begins to bloom...

It's Springtime!

Last week, Elaina heard the weather forecast on the radio which predicted 60 degree weather. Upon hearing the joyous news, she shouted exuberantly: "Hey Michigan, it's time to play!!!"

A little photographer in training ;)

I just loved her facial expression there!

I was sitting on our porch and was looking through our glass door, fiddling with a camera setting and getting ready to test it out when all of a sudden, Elaina comes up behind me and plops a red cone on my head.

Re-takes

I downloaded a photo software and re-did some of my rose and candle photos. What do you think?

Bike Riding

It has been quite warm these last few days and the snow is finally melting. My littlest sister, Elaina (3 1/2) has been waiting all winter to get her bike out...and today she finally did! I'm so proud of my not-so-little girl - she can finally pedal!

Books, Book and more Books!

I know these aren't the best pictures, but I just couldn't resist!

Did I mention that I liked books?

Candles

PS - I'm longing for spring to come, so I thought I'd change my template to something a bit more "springy"...what do you think?

18th Birthday

The internet is wonderful! I can have pictures downloaded of my birthday party in no time...

My parents and I

My Grandma and Grandpa B and I

The cake I made and decorated!

Snowboarding

These are the only two images that pleased my brother and he wanted me to post them :) Being the kind and loving sister I am, I complied.

Winter Storm #2

A huge snowstorm recently blew across the Midwest and yours truly attempted to take a few photographs without freezing her hands!
