"so good... can't stop..."

Yep... he's done.


Yum Yum...


"I think I'm gonna fro up"...


How does he know I live to clean up after him!

What a difference a year makes...

Yes, what a difference a year makes! Oh yeah... and 40 POUNDS!!! Yes that's right! As of today I have officially (that's means doctor's office scales) lost 40lbs! Here's to 40 more...

This picture was taken October of last year (10/08).

This one was taken weekend before last (10/09). I have actually lost about 5 pounds since this picture was taken.

I have a long way to go... but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!! "OLD ME... HERE I COME"!!
Oh... and did you notice how much bigger Benjamin was too? Ha!! :-)

More from the film...

These are in no particular order. This is just how I happend to scan them to my computer. Some are a little grainy... but it is my scanner, not the picture. I really need a new one.
This is for you GiGi and Papa... happy anniversary!! Have fun this weekend and next week. We love you!!

Just an old film camera...

I found my dad's old Canon AE-1 camera that he bought new in 1981. He let me borrow it and I have been snapping pictures with it ever since. It is a manual adjust, which has taken some getting used to, but once I did, I don't know how I took pictures without it!
Some of the pictures are a little blurry because my "subjects" wouldn't stay still! There is also a little orange tint to some of them due to the lighting in the rooms and the fact that I was not using a flash. There will be more to come!!

I love this one.


He wanted out of his seat!


I love how dark his eyes look in this one. They are normally a beautiful blue but I love them here too.


Using his big boy spoon.





Needed a bath after that!





Just another normal day.





Playing hard!


My silly man! He gets it from his daddy! ha


"Show me your GGGRRR face"!


He loves his daddy!





My handsome hubby! It is so blurry because he was rocking.


Going to pick the pumpkins.


It was too muddy for him to get down.





"5 little pumpkins"... that was all that made it through the rain!
