You Are My Sunshine

My only sunshine.   

Spring

I'm a day late but not necessarily a dollar short.  Yesterday was Theme Thursday at Stacy's and the theme was Spring.  Spring in South Texas is usually great but short.  We get coolish weather to prepare us for the horrendous heat that follows.  While most of the country is still wearing coats and still shoveling snow, we are playing outside and getting our swim suits out.  We are adjusting the a/c and putting sunblock on.  We are watching the sun rise on the porch with a cool breeze and lugging our jackets on our hips by afternoon.  Gotta love Spring, gotta love Spring in Texas. 

Imperfection

This is my sweet V.  She's not perfect.  She whines too much (but is getting better), she runs when I say walk, she changes her clothes 12 times a day and leaves the clothes all over the floor (yesterday she wanted to wear her swim suit after school), she has two scrapes on the backs of her legs.   But it's all of the imperfections that make my Hip Chicks all the more perfect.  I'm grateful that she has energy to run, that she sees beauty in herself, that she has the courage to get back up again.  How do you view perfection?

 I'm thinking about entering this.  I love this photographer and would love to learn from her.  She's asking for umbrella photos.  So I got out the nicest umbrella we have and got Vienne a modeling (I just wanna pinch her cheeks).  I don't know yet if I will use this photo.  There may be more umbrella photos coming.

Texture

The theme today at Stacy's is "Texture".  I took it literally and added some here.  This is sweet, adorable, cutiepie Avery.  Her eyes are that stunning all the time. 

And, in case you didn't catch it yesterday, I was featured as the Photo of the Day at Pink Ink Studios with this picture.  I couldn't believe it because they feature some really fantastic photos from really fantastic photogs and well, it's just little ol' me over here having some fun.  Pink Ink picks a photo of day M-F and then we vote on a winner on Fridays.  Check them out on Friday to give me some love.  And Pink Ink has some really cool stuff, so while you are there, check out their textures, and borders, and cards, and all kinds of fun.

Love Day

 

Pure love is real love.  Happy Love Day.
