Classic

On any given day my middle child will range from a sweet little girl full of smiles, hugs, and kisses to a tantrum throwing devil child. Unfortunately for us, her mood can change in the blink of an eye. Don't get me wrong, she is a wonderful child and we love her to pieces. But, this picture is truly a "classic" -- that is exactly how my dh described the picture when he saw it.....

The journaling on the photo reads, "Hannah, you're just too funny! I love you for all of your sweetness and your "lemons"!!"
I lifted the idea for this layout from a Lisa Bearnson book, but it in the end, other than the title, it became my own creation. It is primarily Prima's Dude Collection.

Calling All Phillies Fans

We went to the Phillies game on Saturday afternoon, all 5 of us. But, beforehand, my husband took our son to a special photo/autograph session with the Phillies players. They had to go to the stadium two hours early but were able to go down onto the field and get up close and personal with the players. Most of the fans just go to smack hands with the players but my son managed to get his picture taken with just about the entire team -- guess he was just the cutest fan there so all of the players stopped for him. :) Here are a couple of the pictures...I still have to crop the rest.

Eye of the Storm

I had planned to take my two oldest children down to the shore today. I checked the weather forcast late last night and we were still a go as far as the weather was concerned. When I woke at 7:30am, the sky looked dreadful so I went back to bed figuring the trip was off. Well at 8:30 it was sunny and beautiful so I gathered the kids and we were off to the beach. It was a little chilly and the ocean was FREEZING but we got there and were able to spend about an hour making sand patties and jumping waves. After that the skies let loose!!! It rained cats and dogs and proceeded to hail for about 15 minutes. The kids thought it was cool watching ice fall from the sky while we sat in our bathing suits eating pizza. It did manage to clear up a bit but we decided just to hit the arcade and then head on home....but not before I had some nice woman take our picture....
