One day on the River

At The Beach

Here are the pictures from an afternoon spent at the beach...
I played around with the "panoramic" option on the camera, which resulted in the first three photos.

Hanging Around the House

We had a wonderful long weekend in Carmel Valley, filled with family, thanks-giving, and much-needed down time for all of us. Here's the first batch of pictures, showing the girls dressing up in Nana's jewelry and clothes, Clara cooking with nana, Zach hanging out, Pa and the girls discussing chess, hanging around the (dark) thanksgiving table, a bee enjoying a feast, the girls having a tea party with GGPa, and my mother's wonderful note reminding us to take a moment and be thankful for what we have and people who came before us.

Note: unfortunately I forgot my "nice" camera on this trip, but luckily we just "upgraded" my phone to Zach's old phone, so the pictures from this trip are all from my "new" phone, which focuses significantly better than my last phone. Enjoy!

Scenes From Today

It was a beautiful fall day - one of those days when everyone remarks on how perfect the weather is. Here are some scenes from waiting on the front porch for everyone to be ready for school, and from walking home after school with Molly showing off the earrings she made in hr wire art class (and looking distinctly rock-star-esque).

School Pictures 2012

I have a soft spot in my heart for the school pictures, and it's so fun to get them both at the same time this year. Enjoy!
