• ~sunny afternoon~

  The weather has been so unpredictable here. One minuet it is stormy with wind and rain, and the next minuet it is sunny and blue skies. It feels very much like spring. And today was the first day it has been warm in over 6 months. So I am hoping warmer days are just around the corner. 

  I think one of the things that I miss the most in the winter here is taking pictures. I take a few inside, but those really fun pictures of life on the outside of the house are far more exciting and fun to look at. The lighting is so much better and there are so many more opportunities available. 

  So, with the sun darting back and forth amongst the clouds, I grabbed my camera and headed outside. The girls and I had fun doing a little staged photo shoot. It started with me wanting to get pictures of Julia for her 8 months. Which I am about 3 weeks behind.  Soon Laura and Maryann were picking put some outfits and props. The boys played all around us as we took pictures, helping out whenever we needed them.
