I had the traditional Denton Mother's Day--no work for Mom, huge fruit salad in bed, shared with all the family, flowers and notes from the kids and Brad, "Brad's Specialty Breakfast-for-Dinner." And now I'm heading to bed with a clean house and a smile on my face. Thanks for such a great day, family. I love you all, and I wouldn't trade places with anyone for anything.
My Evie has been waking up EARLY every morning lately. Like 4:30-5 am. I haven't really minded too much, because I am a morning person, and it's helped me get good starts to my days. But I did balk a little when it was 5:12 and it was Saturday. Instead of bemoaning my fate, I grabbed the stroller and the camera. The light is delicious at 5:30, and I got some fun shots. So this week will be a (mostly) wordless week and pictures of AZ.
Here's a tribute to my morning buddy.
(I can't figure out how to import my edited pictures from Picasa to my blog using the new editor. Hopefully this week I'll be able to figure it out.)
I love your optimism on your recent early days; these pictures are just too precious! I.heart.natural.sunlight.pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou deserved your royal treatment today, they are all definite keepers. :)
natural light is always best. (don't get me wrong, packing your own light can be fun too, depending on how creative a photographer wants to be. but my fave is to shoot ala natural!) its authentic.
ReplyDeleteeve is lovely in these images! so much fun, you lucky lady. can't wait to see more!
She is so pretty, Jen.

She's beautiful. The second photo is exceptional. If I were you, I'd frame that.
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful that you can get up and appreciate the early hours and not be grumpy about it. What in inspiration. Those pictures are adorable.
ReplyDeleteDarling Eve! So worth getting up early for!
ReplyDeletelovely pictures of your shweetie!
ReplyDeleteYour optimism comes from the voice of experience...you know these early mornings are temporary, hunh?
I loved getting up with my little ones while the rest of the house was sleeping. That time was special to me.
Glad your day was perfect!
Once you're up...there is nothing sweeter than a morning and a baby.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how gorgeous she is. Thanks for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I always use the old editor..no spell check but hate how long it takes to upload photos with Blogger In Draft.
simply gorgeous~those eyes & then the long eyelashes to boot! wow!
ReplyDeletei know what you mean about them waking early....i too try to enjoy it while i can.
ReplyDeleteone day they will sleep until noon (or later if we let them) and we won't have these precious moments again!
she is adorable!!!
happy monday friend! I enjoyed your friday's linky too

i loved what you had to say on your friday 'linky'! i am yet to read the others- and i am a little inconsistent at times & therfore forgot to do a post on this....nice to know we are not the only ones in that boat...

Ahhhh....early riser she is. I have a few of those. But I lived in AZ for 7 years, aand the earlier the better...or at least cooler and that is better. SHe is so stinking cute....not stinking...or maybe she is, but I can't tell from the pictures. But she is cute!!
ReplyDeleteEarly mornings and a sweet baby...doesn't get much better than that! The 2nd picture is absolutely gorgeous...well, actually all of them are, but that 2nd one is above and beyond!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes on your kids - oh my goodness, they're beautiful! My favorite one is where she's peeking over the top of the pram/stroller/whatever it is. They're all beautiful, though. What a nice Mother's Day you had - good job by all!
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty. your attitude about early mornings is inspiring. i feel God nudging me lately, to join Him in the mornings a bit earlier then usual.
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you commented on my blog so i could find you, i am hooked on your transparency after reading just a few posts. so nice to meet you!
Great photos...Love the "catch lights" you captured in the pram shot!
ReplyDeleteAh the creative gene...think it comes from my Dad's side...he had two amazing aunts that were artists. I also think it comes from being frugal...making do with what is around me.
And yes...I think a give away is just around the corner. Keep watching! :)
Love these photos of Evie! She is a doll! I wish I was more of a morning person!
