Spring Break!

Wow, I can't believe how incredibly long it has been since I've come on here to post pictures! My art has completely taken over my life! In a good way though, I've been busier than I ever could have imagined.  I never thought in my wildest dreams that my hobby/love/passion could turn into a career. 

Anyway, on with the pictures... so I dusted the old camera off, charged up the battery and headed off with the family & headed to Washington DC during spring break.  My dad grew up there, so I grew up spending my vacation time visiting grandma, every year, twice a year... so what a treat it was to visit the old town again after all these years.  We litterally saw all of DC in 3 days, & yes that included the trip.  This was the kiddies first time there, and as I predicted, their favorite part of the whole trip... the Metro!



Look at Jason, you'll notice almost all of the pictures that I took of him were of him taking pictures of other things, & of Maddie of course.








A new monument, in remembrance of World War II... Gorgeous.... & what's a fountain without making a wish and throwing in a few pennies :)































Till next time....

Enjoying the Nice Weather While it Lasts!

Well, before you know it there won't be any nice days left, so we've been taking advantage of the nice weather & have really enjoyed some nice day trips...

This pic cracks me up!






Some really nice grounds near my sister's house, look at all the lovely light we had :) & what a sweet moment between John & Maddie. How grown up she looks here, where has the time gone!?



My cutest nephew ever!!! A trip to the waterfront with beautiful NY city as a backdrop...what a lovely night it was, the weather was perfect & the kiddies had the most fabulous time simply running around & doing what kids do best!













Our Christmas card :D







& last but not least some more candids of my sillies!

Trick or Treat!

What a Halloween we had...lots of costumes, fun, candy, family, and yes, even some slush! This was a first, snow on the ground...but that didn't stop the kiddies from enjoying their day of trick or treating :D & can I just say how grown up everyone seems to be now?! Going from house to house like they're pros now!



In case you were wondering, yes, she's a good witch ;)



Mr. Scorpion...if anyone is familiar with the video game Mortal Kombat anyway...we had to tell Jason that, you're a *ninja*, because otherwise people would think, "what your a scorpion?" lol.







My sweet nephew...is he just darling?!?



A little Ewok :)
