Monday Snapshot: Baby Blues...

So Paul has blue eyes and I have brown eyes.  When I was pregnant with LP I figured we had a 40% chance of having a blue-eyed baby (and apparently, blue eyes are becoming more and more rare in the US- it used to be that almost half of the population had blue eyes but now it's more like 1 in 6!) since both my mother and Paul have blue eyes (however, I'm not a geneticist or whoever would figure that out so perhaps my math is wrong!).  Anyway, while LP was born with dark blue eyes they pretty quickly began to change.  For almost a full year it was hard to tell what color his eyes were- sometimes they looked green, sometimes hazel, sometimes brown.  Today, they're decidedly brown- a lighter shade than mine but definitely brown.

Eliza was also born with blue eyes but from the looks of things they're going to stay that way! They've shown no evidence of changing and we're so happy to have a brown-eyed boy and a blue-eyed girl!

    Wow! Those sure are gorgeous blue eyes!!!! :) What a doll! Our Alidia has blue blue eyes too and neither DH nor I have blue eyes, but his Dad and my Mum do... so it was unlikely but it happened.. and pretty sure at 1 year now, they are here to stay! :)

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!

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...

Cote D'Azur Sunhat

Now that we live in the desert we've had to majorly change our sun protection habits.  In Massachusetts we wore sunscreen in the summer and hats if it was "extra sunny" but here it's sunny 99% of the time and hot!  We're wearing hats, sunglasses and sunscreen basically every day! I've been relying on a few baseball caps and some old sunhats I had but really needed something with a wider brim to provide more shade.    When I saw a tester call for the Cote D'Azur Sunhat I jumped on it and was lucky enough to be chosen! This is the first wearable pattern from quilt designer Shannon Mac Designs  and it is fabulous!  The pattern was designed to fit head circumferences of 16"- 24" and has 4", 5" and 6" brim options.   It fits most people 12 months and up! I made my sunhat in size 6 (circumference 21-22") with a 4" brim.  I used quilting cotton that I'd been hoarding on the outside and a more neutral cotton on ...
