As promised, I am here to post some pictures.
Except I am not posting a ton of pictures of our house tonight, nope, instead, I am posting pictures a ton of pictures I took outside. I LOVE taking pictures of nature, it makes me feel good, it’s good for my soul, I love having the shots show up on my screensaver. Between you and me? When taking pictures, I think of James and Jake with every shot, I’m not sure why, I just do.
Like I said, it’s good for my soul. (by the way, Carrie was wondering what kind of camera I have, Carrie, I have the Nikon D40X. It’s fantastic.)
It’s been awhile since I have taken any fun outdoor pictures, but today the kids and I went for a walk in a park about six minutes from my new house. My dream is to have some of my favorite photos printed (high quality, not at Walgreens) and professionally framed and then place them on my walls. That would make me happy. (anyone know of any photo printing service that’s inexpensive? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?)
So, here are a few of the pictures I took. And at the end I added a picture of my kitchen that I took tonight, all unpacked and moved in. You can also see that Servpro is still at our house, YES, you read that right, they are still treating the flood that occurred last Wednesday. Now all that’s left is a smaller fan and a big de-humidifier, which is nothing compared to the two massive industrial fans that were there up until yesterday. Hopefully what’s left in there now will be gone by tomorrow. (with any luck, which I seem to have none.)
On to the outdoor shots. It was roughly 187 degrees outside with 100% humidity, which does not bother me, but the kids, well, they did not appreciate the heat, so time was limited, but the subjects were not.
And this one reminds of James and Jake. I saw this tree and it was very symbolic and beautiful to me.
Here’s a shot I took last week of a storm system that was heading in our direction. I took this on my porch. This storm barely even produced rain.
And here’s my kitchen tonight, can you spot the machinery in the kitchen?
And here is what is supposed to be a dining room that we changed into an office. I am loving the way this room is turning out. It’s part of Ruby & Roja Headquarters! Now if I could just stop storing everything on the desk, maybe I could get some work done. This was taken at sunset.
Are you bored to tears, yet? or do you want more house pictures?
More pictures please!
I absolutely love that picture of Ariel and Racecar on the bridge…
And the picture of your office makes me miss my rug.

I want to buy some of your pics, they are beautiful, get out more often so I can enjoy! And I think we have the exact same kitchen. I too turned my dining room into the office, just didn’t fit where it was at. Maybe we have the same house… spooky.

oh wow…what beautiful shots…and you have such a lovely home.
i know what you mean about taking photos…i just started this year and it’s been a fun little journey…i think i’ve learned to really look at everything with different eyes and to really appreciate the little things. it’s also so nice to just go outside and take a bunch of photos and “relax” in that sense…it’s hard to turn off all the things runnning through my brain but when you’re taking pictures you just kinda get lost in it all…you know?

okay..so here’s a little peek. i didn’t know if you would like it (i was sitting there trying to pick colors and the right thing to say…wanting to make it a little better, not wanting to make it worst but wanting to also honor james and jake) it’s two tiles but i think i’m going to change the color scheme (you know how things always look better in your head?) and it’s put in a wooden frame and i was going to have the other tile have a picture decal of the j and j necklace or the picture of brian holding your hand.
anyway…i got sidetracked. i wasn’t going to show you because i wasn’t even sure if you would like it but i saw the “live” and “laugh” in the photo and it reminded me of it.
let me know if you still want it and i’ll make it or if you want anything else on it.
i’m glad you had a good day.
hugs

Those pics are gorgeous!! They’ll be awesome for framing.
I use snapfish.com for my prints. They’re good quality and the most inexpensive I’ve found.

I love, SERIOUSLY LOVE, the series of water lily pictures. I would frame those for my house, too. Well, if I had a house, I would. Soon…

I love all the pics but I really love the one of your kids walking across the bridge. And the lilly pads. And the tree. Okay, so I like them all!
