Special delivery:: eye candy

I know, I know…I missed cup of *JOy* yesterday.  Forgive me.  Instead, I thought I would post, today, what life’s been like lately and fill today’s post with loads of eye candy (supplemental *JOy*of the BEST kind).  First, this weather is awful… really, really dreadful.  I am so ready for winter to be over…clouds galore, deadness (craving flowers and tree buds), wind that gnaws, cabin fever, the list could go on, but I don’t want to whine too much.  Good stuff?  Moving on to that…

Chase has been getting As on most of his tests…(Woot!  He is so bright– this boy is going places.  Just wait!); Mady is a social butterfly, and a “natural born leader” (and it’s NOT code for bossy…I checked!); Ella has been…well…Ella.  Life is always a little lot brighter when Ella is around.  Todd just bought his office building (scary and exciting!).  It has been a whirlwind of busyness around here.  TKD, gymnastics, dance, therapy (aquatics and developmental), dinner with friends, dinner parties, movie dates, family gatherings, lunch dates, playdates, birthday parties, sleepovers….whew!  Life is good. Really good…

I have been dying to take my lens outside to see what it’s capable of.  Yesterday, Ella and I stole away for a few minutes and had a mini-session at one of my favorite urban locations.  All I needed was a few minutes…just to see what I could get.  WOW…I am in love.  This is by far my favorite lens.  I am so glad that I did not go with the 45mm TS–I was looking for more of an everyday lens.  I had to sell a limb to get it…but it was sooooooo worth it.

This one makes me laugh….:)

And…one of Mady– playing coy with the camera…

The countdown to Spring Break is officially on…please be warm in Florida.  Pretty please….

P.S.  There are just 2 time slots left for the Chicago MINI session at North Avenue Beach…going, going.….soon to be gone….:)

AND — I am finally getting the iPhone (it’s on it’s way–YAY!)  To celebrate I am going to be posting a free template for the iPhone gelaskin.
