Valentine's Day....

Big Paul, Little Paul and I had a very relaxing, but very nice Valentine's Day.  Little Paul and I went to a baby music class with a friend in the morning and came home to a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates....

In the afternoon Grammy and Papa came by and gave LP a special Valentine treat- a GIANT teddy bear!

For dinner we made a yummy chocolate hazelnut and banana crepe dessert.. That's right, who needs dinner when you can go right to dessert?  Big Paul was on crepe duty (I'm lucky enough to have married a man who owned the following kitchen items when I met him: crepe pan, kitchen torch, creme brulee ramekins, french onion soup bowls- and he knows how to use them too!) and I was on "entertain baby" duty and then "assembly" duty...

Here's my Valentine chef hard at work:

Little Paul's favorite new thing to do now that he can hold his head up so well and wants to be sitting up all the time is to sit in his highchair in the kitchen and watch us cook:

Delicious!  We've made this a few times before as it's easy and tasty!  It's basically hazelnut crepes with bananas and melty Nutella layered in between...

After LP went to bed BP and I popped in the newest Indiana Jones movie (very romantic!) and ended up falling asleep on the couch about halfway through...

All in all it was a great Valentine's Day!  Hope you all had a good one too!!

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of.   The first of these projects is a 10 on 10:   Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.   Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !)   I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom.  A few caveats:  I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post).  I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings?  Am not sure wha...
