my 2yr old son keeps asking me to go fly on an airplane to visit my parents…. they’ll be here to visit us and the new baby sometime soon…

Enough Said!

I love google reader.  I have a tons of blogs listed in my reader, and I love that I can just go to one page and read all of my fav blogs in one place.   I dislike that it doesn’t show comments, but I suppose that’s a good thing, because I really lose track of time when I read through comments…

i’ve been interested in different ways to photograph my cards in new and interesting ways… I just love the way these golden raspberries were photographed.

Number 8 [the second in a series - ALT invert version], 11. Visiting Number 8?, 12. Día 74 - Number 8 Number 8 Number 8 Number 8 Number 8…, 13. Property number 8, 14. number 8. the family, 15. Bingo Number 8, 16. The Power of 8

I’ve had the number 8 on my mind a lot lately.   I have 8 weeks until this baby is due.  I have to keep him in at least 5 more weeks, at which point he’ll be considered “at term”.   This pregnancy has been a little difficult, and I have my dr threatening me with bedrest if I don’t take it easy.  Right now I’m on “decreased activity”, which is just as bad as bed rest in my book.  I can’t really do anything, but sit and rest with my feet up.  It’s been hard on me, my 2yr son and my husband… and we still have a few more weeks to go!  I’m not the kind of person to just sit around with my feet up… I just don’t know what to do with myself.  Today, I’m off to the library to find some good books, to help pass the time. It’s been ages since I’ve picked up a good book.  any recommendations?

Happy Memorial Day!! We are spending our day with family playing at the beach. Enjoy your holiday!

With this pregnancy, I’ve really been craving all kinds of fruits. I love this photo of nice juicy, plump red grapes. yum!

Today’s flickr photo theme is construction vehicles.  I chose this theme because my little guy loves construction vehicles. He is currently obsessed with construction trucks, diggers, loaders, excavators, backhoe loaders….. There is a lot of construction work going on, on the highway outside of our little neighborhood. He loves going for a drive to see all of the men working and using these big machines.

I just love the post processing of these photos… it makes them look so much more impressive.
