two of my favorites

my son, enjoying hot chocolate after playing out in the snow...taken in Illinois, a year or so ago

and below, my daughter, on her first day of KG..she is now in second grade.

oh, so close

seven and counting...

here in the OH, we got the snow. my family and friends in the Chicagoland area are glad it missed them this time..it stayed just far enough south to get us. after shoveling two driveways, I am tired. I am wondering why it is again we don't own a snow blower?....

memory card memories

I put one of my memory cards into the computer and I found some photos from last summer. my daughter is on the right, in the red/white/blue suit. her friend, E, came over to play in the pool.

ah, what I would do for temps like that!

sunshine in the cold

for the first time

for any of you who might know our three cats, this has never happened before. the tiger cat, scooby, is only four years old. the gray cat, nightro, is 14. our third cat, not pictured, bosco, is 13. scooby was adopted when he was two and was very shy, skitterish, and not a very lovable cat. he usually sleeps by himself so when I saw this, I had to try to capture it. I was sitting next to them so getting a good shot was difficult at best. I just couldn't believe it.

so I guess friends can be made after years of trying.

what am I?
