Week 28

As I add these photos, I think I may need to rename this project the "Logan and Paisley Show." They're just so adorable I can't stop myself. I brought out my big-girl camera this week and I'm happy I did. 

Morning yogurt facial, of course.

My heart!

Still waking up here.

A moment of cooperation and sweetness. 

He's on top of the world!

Early morning light and shadow fun.

I got them out of the house for a walk. 

One loves to explore and doesn't want to leave the house.

This is one of the many cute houses in their neighborhood.

She's living her best life.

Three generations. 

The older ones talk about work ALL. THE. TIME.

Analog art for calming the nerves.

Sharpie and Crayola markers.

Week 27

Continuing on with my birthday celebration. CynCyn spent the whole week with us. She got to see some friends, visit the boys' offices, spend quality time with the 4T's, go out to brunch, lunch, multiple dinners, day trip around the bay, wine tasting, and binge-watch Ted Lasso. We all enjoyed her visit and miss her already. 

It was the best birthday week ever!

Good morning Hubs and Dr. CynCyn.

Time to pack up camp and go home.

Week 26

While the world burns…Oh, I mean let me get this out of the way. 

I made this banner for my July Facebook cover photo. I like to change them up every month even if it’s the only thing I post and this one needed to be shared. I also set up a fundraiser on Facebook for Planned Parenthood for my birthday. It ends on the 16th and I’m hoping to get $500 that I plan to match.

 

In the meantime, I had a wonderful 60th birthday celebration. 

Camping, boating, tubing, mimosas, food, drinks, music, family, fun, and a “hitchhiker” we picked up from the shore. I had no idea who the woman was for a few seconds and I want to always remember seeing her, waving champagne bottles, and smiling at us…our Dr. CynCyn flew out from Florida to surprise me and spend the week with us. Excellent job family! I love you all, past the sky.

Family ❤️

It was as fun as it looks!

It was a challenge to get sharp focus of these priceless faces from a moving boat,

still, I'm so glad I brought my camera. 

The perfect birthday weather.

Week 25

I have far too many thoughts and feelings about the SCOTUS decision on Friday.  Cowards. 

For now, I will practice self-care and relishing moments of joy being with my loved ones

- gathering the strength to fight for our rights.

I coaxed them outside to enjoy the sun before the heat of the day. 

They weren't impressed.

Discovering pockets on her dress.

She stole his glasses right off his face.

More of our unusual weather. Monsoonal clouds make great sunsets.

We could have used some rain too.

Trying out the sun catchers in the front window.

This one is my favorite, so far.

A Friday morning hanging out with these loves.

This one was fun. Digital watercolor painting in Procreate.

He is a bright light in our lives.

Soothing, watercolor coloring in Procreate.

Yes, I'm Pro-Choice. 

I am sad and furious at SCOTUS and afraid for my 

daughters, granddaughters, and all childbearing humans.

Week 24

June 13 - 19 everyday life and things...

Glitter is so pretty! I say, sprinkle this shit everywhere.

She's calling me Gammy these days. 

She can call me whatever she wants. 😍

Morning sun salutations with this sweet, sleepy-faced boy.

He asked me to take his picture to show off his kick 

before his Martial Arts class.

 Four-time NBA Champions!!

These guys are phenomenal and the reason I now love watching basketball.

I played with a fun noise setting in Procreate on my iPad to get this gradient

Rainbows ALWAYS!

 

Melting pony beads in cookie cutters on the BBQ to make suncatchers.

The more I play, the more ideas and fun I have.

Father's Day kayaking with my man.

We watched from our kayaks as this Osprey dove for fish over and over.

It looks like this Great Blue Heron is trying to scare me away. 

He was actually not happy with another Heron getting in his personal space.
