Safe and Sound

The worlds a scary place here
But baby it's alright
I'll make sure the coast is clear
So you can just sleep tight
~Matthew West

If you haven't heard that song I suggest it...it's so beautiful. Just like this baby!







I got to use my pod!! On the sweetest little pea around I think, how perfect is her dress for this??!



Sigh...newborns. <3<3 Nothing more precious in this world.

Regrets, I've had a few

Last year around this time I bought a macro lens. I thought I wasn't using it much and sold it...immediate regret. So I Bought it again this year and now I know it will be mine forever.

Of course I'm not venturing out in the cold and snow to take a pic so this is what was closest to me.


Then Keats peeked around the door to see what I was doing with his Ghostbusters and I snapped this. I forgot what a great portrait lens this will make too. (cropped out most of his messy playroom of course)


Oh and I also ordered a new camera....one some might say is a classic choice ;) It gets here tomorrow and I can't wait!!

One Little Monkey...

Hiding from the snow! Oh how I want to hide with him.

This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions and not the time to explain...

I'm not really sure why I am posting this...I hate self portraits. I swear I am one of those people who is so much more adorable in real life. Pictures just make me feel like a dork and I don't know how to "put it on" for the camera. Which is why I take the pictures.

But I had James snap a picture on my birthday last month and just did nothing with it. Converted to b/w to conceal my Snuggie background (even more useful than you thought!)



Look how much my hair has grown though!!! Last time I took self portraits:



Dang that kinda makes me want to get my hair cut again...hmmm.

Random, Random, Random

I was sick 3 days last week and by the time I finally got better I was snowed in. I am now officially sick again...of snow. I need to get out of my house and shoot some things!! I refuse to get cold though so this is what I have resorted to...help!





I have been loving just taking some snapshots though. Like Blaze and his little shadow friend doing something he isn't supposed to (ok I granted permission this time, horrible mom)



Love, love this snapshot!


I even set up a little time just to play with my flash off camera for a bit (too lazy to drag out the bee)

If it snows again tomorrow I might cry. Just sayin.

This has been a random post by Bobbi Sawyer.

Oops I Did It Again

James cracks me up when he draws on the kids...doesn't he just look like he is plotting to take over the world???


And in me related news I got a new tattoo last Saturday!! I know tattoos aren't for everyone but I looove them. It's on my wrist and this is just the day after. After it's fully healed I will have to try and take some better pics of it.

I just love the simple feminine design here and "The Luckiest" is a nod to a Ben Folds song. Favorite singer ever!



The song was our wedding song and it's engraved on our rings...and now it is engraved on me. <3 it!

I Love You Free

Wow, this picture just captures one of those moments when you look at your kid and wonder how they got this old? It's hard to believe that my tiny little six pound baby is seven now (going on 17 it seems). He has such a serious side and I just see intelligence in his eyes. He's going to do big things.



But it's that goofy kid side that I hope he never grows out of that just cracks me up.





Love this kid.
