Thankful....

So I am in a place of thankfulness....extreme!! A mountain top experience so to speak. I didn't win the lottery or find cute shoes on sale. I can't put my finger on it. The one thing I know is still true and that's enough for me. I'm feeling really thankful for the entire life experience. The valley's help me to know that the mountains are ahead and once on top of the mountains I can look back at the valley and learn from the walk I have taken.

I am thankful for my friend and forever positive comrade Sally! I love this image of her. This is how I know Sally, peaceful and confident.

My friend and her darlings

Fellow Photog

Playing with Camera

It is bitter cold! But we took some time to play with our cameras. Learned: Don't shoot outside when it is cold.

a little teaser for my friend....

winter fun at home

I love these times in the winter when my business is slower, actually it is catch up time....but you know what I mean...I regain my original inspiration, my kids. Here is Babsy having a play date with one of her friends from school.

Sally

Sally = source of encouragement. My friend Sally of LaVie Photography stopped over last week with her little guy....of course, I couldn't resist...I have to touch!...and take pictures.

our friends from Albania

Dane and Miriam have been missionaries to Albania, Kosovo and surrounding areas for 10 or more years. Every three-ish years we get to see them. Miriam has a kindred spirit. Every time I see her it was as if she never left. I love her and her darling family. Here are her smart, kind hearted, well mannered, enthusiastic kids.

To date the kids are speaking three languages fluently!!

shaking in my BOOTS!

R is a dear friend and one of the best photographers I know. Check her out HERE. It is always daunting to take pictures of a fellow photographer. Yikes! But who could go wrong with a family that is this cute!

Hi Fidelity!

My dear friend Robin has a new toy. She let me come over and play last week. If you know me you know I am ANTI-FLASH! But this may just change my mind. Hmmmm...how many days until Christmas??
