Favorite Foto Friday #103 "U-Pick"

The end of the month is already here! How did that happen? So, our theme for Favorite Friday Foto is "U-Pick", our favorite from the month.

I had a hard time this month. First of all, I really in the scope of things, didn't take that many photos; well, I took a "volume" of pictures, but not many different occasions. Second, I always have trouble picking out just one photo! SO I DIDN'T! Yes, I know, what's new?


I still had a couple of black and whites from last week's theme that I didn't publish. I couldn't decide which I liked best, you be the judge!




This last picture really captures the "spirit" of Tabitha----goofy!

Favorite Foto Friday # 102 "Drama for Your Mama---black and white"

This week the title of the theme for Favorite Foto Friday is "Drama for your Mama", our photos are suppose to be black and white. Black and white pictures are always rather dramatic to me, I'm not very good at it though! Fortunately I have a really good specimen to photograph; her cuteness makes up for my lack of photographic skills!

Favorite Foto Friday # 101 "In Full Bloom"

This week the theme for Favorite Friday Foto is "In Full Bloom". The trees have pretty much past their peak around here, but the azaleas have begun to burst into bloom, mine unfortunately have not.

Note the tree in the background in full bloom, this was from 3 weeks ago

This from last Easter in front of the azalea bush, look how much shorter Tabi's hair was! It hadn't been cut either. I can't believe how much she's matured since last year!

Favorite Foto Friday #100 "Easter Memories"**edited to explain Flowering of the Cross

This is my 100th Favorite Foto Friday post! The theme that Hannah has chosen for this week is "Easter Memories". Last weekend was Easter, it was a beautiful weekend weather wise except for the "yellow clouds" (pine pollen) that were drifting around. Saturday we went to the church of one of my co-workers. They were having their annual egg hunt. This egg hunt was huge! They had over 30,000 eggs for the kids to "hunt"-- pick up is more like it! They also had door prize give aways for those families that had registered, and they had free lunches! Tabi had a great time. I wish that we'd been able to get more pictures of it, but the camera battery decided to "expire" just as the hunt began.



Later Saturday afternoon, we colored Easter eggs, Tabi seemed to get into it a little more than last year. She wanted to do it all, but Mommy insisted upon helping!






Sunday we went to church for the flowering of the cross,(The flowering of the cross has been traced back to the 6th century. It is an especially striking and beautiful way to symbolize the new life that emerges from the death on Good Friday. Traditionally before the Easter Sunday service, the cross is covered with real flowers and the top draped in white. The entire cross is covered with flowers and is placed prominently at the front of the church to symbolize the new life in our risen Lord to all the worshippers present on Easter Sunday morning. The contrast between the starkly bare cross that worshippers have seen for 40 days and the living flower cross of Easter Sunday dramatically and visually represents the new life that we are celebrating after witnessing the very instrument of death and endings transformed by Christ's rising) then had a bit of breakfast in the church fellowship hall, and then attended Easter services. Tabi was not very cooperative with the pictures while we were at church, but did finally take a few decent ones at home.







After her nap we had our own Easter egg hunt in the front yard. It was a very busy weekend!

Favorite Foto Friday #99 Funny Faces

This week the theme over at Hannah's blog for Favorite Foto Friday is "Funny Faces". I had good intentions of taking lots of new photos this week, but must admit I haven't taken a single one! Partially because I've been so busy at work lately that I've been bringing home tons of paper work to do at home. Partially because Tabi is sick again with strep throat so she hasn't felt like taking any pictures, and partially because I just haven't though about it! Sad, isn't it?
I do have a couple of photos though that just could fit this catagory.


This wasn't planned or anything, but Tabi has that "oh my!" look on her face.



Her "cheesy" face
