Favorite Foto Friday #94 "Our Pick"

It's the last Favorite Foto Friday of the month and we are suppose to pick our favorite photo from the month. I, of course, could not pick just one! So, there are a couple of them. These are a couple more shots of Tabi during dance class. The first of the photos is a "save" using some of the editing program available on the computer; I'm not very good at it, but am trying to learn. The original was very dark and shadowy. The other photo isn't the best quality, but I love her smile.

Favorite Foto Friday #93 "A Day in the Life"

This week the theme for Favorite Foto Friday is "A Day in the Life". Being a product of the 60's and 70's, the first thing that popped into my head was the Beatles' song, but I don't think that is exactly what Hannah was shooting for! So, I'm posting some lovely pictures of little Miss Tabi on a not so typical day in South Carolina.
It snowed in South Carolina last Friday, not the few little flakes that I've become accustomed to people freaking out over here in South Carolina. You know people in the south all rush to the store buy up all of the eggs, milk and bread when they predict snow or ice.... NO, it really snowed; it snowed 7 inches! We haven't had that much snow in 20 or 30 years here! I wish that I had more of the pictures that Tim took the morning after, but I must confess that I forgot to put the memory stick back into the camera after downloading these pictures from Friday night. SO....please forgive my error and enjoy these few that I shot Friday after the snow first started accumulating.









The temperature predicted for today is suppose to be in the 60's, go figure! Hope you enjoyed our pictures! To see other favorite Friday photos, check out Hannah's blog by clicking on the badge above. Have a great weekend!

Favorite Foto Friday #92 "Love Is..."

This week's Favorite Foto Friday theme is: "Love Is..." Love is mainly my family to me, but choosing photos that exemplify that is difficult for me; I have so many to choose from!
The first photo is one of my loving husband and me on the day that we got married. We got engaged 9 years ago around this time of year. It will be 9 years ago we were married this August! I love him more and more each day!



My mother is also part of the "love is..." equation. My mother and I have always been close. She lives with us now since we moved to South Carolina. She shows me love each and every day, but one gesture that she did for me that really eximplified love. It was to cash in her IRA's to help us pay for the cost of Tabitha's adoption; to me, that was above and beyond love!






And of course, Tabitha is love....I love everything about her...well maybe not so much that smart mouthing that she has started! :o)

Favorite Foto Friday #91

The theme this week is suppose to be "Kiss Kiss". However, I'm not using that theme this week. Tabi isn't what I'd call a "kissy" girl. She loves to hug, but hasn't been a big fan of many kisses unless you are talking about chocolate kisses! She is however asking me now to kiss her good-bye when I drop her off at daycare in the mornings.
Tabitha started dance classes at the local park district this past Tuesday. It is a combination tap/ballet class. They have a half hour of tap and then a half hour of ballet. She was so excited to be going to dance classes that she's talked about it non stop since buying the leotard and tights! We worried that she wouldn't pay attention to what her teacher was teaching, she kept turning around looking at us or the other girls during the first part of the class. It was kind of funny actually. We got to the dance studio a little early and Tabi loved the noise that her tap shoes made on the floor; all she wanted to do was gallop around and make noise. Well the teacher got there, had the girls get on their "marks" (little spots of tap on the floor), and Tabi just stood there! Her teacher said that she did really well for a 3 year old in her first dance class. She said that staying on your "mark" is very important!
