Day 167

This week's assignment is VINTAGE.  Here are two versions of the same photo.  Emma is holding the PB Kids' Russian doll.

The first is obviously edited to look like an old photograph.  I like the second edit the best though.

Day 120

Last year I posted some pics of a tree we have in our backyard.  At the time I didn't know what kind it is.  Here is a link to that post.  Ironically I did that post on April 29th last year.

This year we are a little behind in the leafing and blooming process.  This tree still amazes me though.  My MIL helped me identify it as a type of magnolia tree.

Day 113

For Wednesday night...

Back at the baseball field (every night but Friday this week).

Here is B getting ready to bat.  He always does a "triple tap" on home plate before bringing the bat to his shoulder! :)

Day 106

Posting for Wednesday, April 16th...

we flew to Las Vegas today to celebrate my 40th birthday!  We checked in and headed straight for the pool for a couple of hours.

This is the view from our suite!

Not too bad!!!

Day 99

Today Emma's school had Autism Awareness Day so each student was encouraged to wear blue…

Tonight Brendan had a middle school baseball game.  He played very well and got a nice hit off of this swing…

And just because I have been so busy and not posting any pictures taken with my DSLR, here is one of my favorites of Brendan doing the Spartan race.
