Collage of Ethan from this Weekend

I'm going to try and do a little collage of the kids from the weekend.  Ethan was such a little ham.   He said my name for the first time this weekend.   I sure love that little fellow.   He has a deep little voice too.   I laughed when they came up on Sunday for the party.   Everyone was coming up to him and his daddy and trying to get him to come to them.   He would say no and shake his head.   When he came to me, he just put his arms in the air like come and get me, and of course I did.

Mama's sweet smile now

Not sure if I posted this one yet or not, but it was the last time I went home, she smiled that pretty smile while she was washing the dishes.

Movie Star wearing my sunglasses

I saw her staning in line at the supermarket, she had on those big glasses I guess so noone would notice her.  

Naw!  It's just Autumn wearing her Uncle Derek's sunglasses.

My mom and me in the same photo booth

Young and in Love

I was just a baby when we moved to Jacksonville beach.  I was the only child also.  I look at these pictures and I see two people in love and having fun.  My first memories are of Jacksonville, funny that I live here now all these years later.  I look at video's of them with me when I was a baby, and know how much they loved me also.   More thoughts later.   Funny how after years after they've been divorced I still wish they would have stayed as happy as in these pictures.  I know exactly where they got these pictures taken, it's funny the place is stil there to this day on the boardwalk.  It's probably where my first memory takes place.  Mama loved these little photo booths, you would sit in close the curtain, and look in a mirror, and make faces.  I thought for years  that mirrors were camera's.   I used to smile and smile at the mirror at home but never any magical pictures would show up like in those booths.  I look at the funny hats and realize they were just children in a way, just having fun.  YOUNG LOVE!

Coming on Six

Can't believe she's going to be six years old in a few weeks.  Seems just like yesterday she was a baby.   I still can't believe how she's grown.

Round Robin Challenge: The animal Inside

This weeks challenge I chose:The subject is "The Animal Inside." Let's take a picture of an animal that really explains us, gives our personality or the animal you would want to be if you could choose. No restrictions, be creative. Maybe even tell us what that animal is thinking or saying.

As you can see in my other blog I am a big cat, here's another one I've always loved.   The Lion!  King of the cats.   This was a picture I took of the Lion's Bridge in St. Augustine.  I used to see this statue and imagine it was a real lion at one time, it just seemed so lifelike in some way.   Then I imagined going into the statue and being inside it with all its thoughts.  Crazy thought huh.
