You Are My Sunshine

Yesterday morning was very cold, gloomy and just all around blah!  As the day went on, the sun started coming out and it started to get warmer.  Close to sunset, I felt the need to go take some pictures since the light was so gorgeous.  Poor Mya!  I got her up from her nap and said, “Come on!  Let’s go take some pictures!”  Her response:  “No!”  The sun wasn’t going to be up for much longer so I did a little bit of begging and pleading and finally after some major hauling butt, we made it to the park just in time.

Mya is totally obsessed with picking berries, everywhere we go!!  She doesn’t want to eat them.  She just sticks them in her pockets and says they are for her “wedding”.  Such a silly girl!

New Yorkers!

Whoever said that New Yorkers are rude hasn’t met my N.Y. clients!  Maybe I’m just lucky but so far, all of the clients that I’ve had here are over the top nice!  I just love hanging out with them and getting to know them and their families!  This family, for example, met up with me this morning on one of the coldest mornings we’ve had yet since it has started cooling off.  They were some of the nicest people ever.  It was extremely windy and pretty chilly for a girl from Texas, but I had a lot of fun with these folks so I didn’t mind it one bit.  It was so nice meeting you guys today!  Good luck in your move!  Here’s a little sneak peek for you.  🙂

I walk past this door at least 3 times a week and I keep telling myself, “One day, I’m going to use that door!”  Today was the day!

Whirled Peas

Today we went to Central Park just to walk around because it’s such a beautiful day and because Mya just loves to pick up leaves, acorns, sticks,…;)  We totally forgot that today would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday and there was a big celebration going on in Strawberry Fields.  People were playing music and everyone was singing along.  They sang, “You’ve got to hide your love away….” and I was singing along.  Mya looked at me and said, “Momma, why is he hiding?”  hehe  Happy birthday to an amazing songwriter who changed music forever!  You are missed!

It’s Halloween Time!

This morning I did Halloween pictures for my playgroup.  I love doing these types of sessions.  It’s so much fun and I love seeing the kids in their cute little costumes!  I decided to do Mya’s pictures today too.  Poor girl, she was freezing.  I’m not used to having to bundle her up for Halloween.  In Austin, it was burning up on Halloween and she was usually sweating in her costume.  These parents in our group, however, are smart and got the warmest costumes.  Next year, I’ll know better!  See that big Cinderella pumpkin?  I hated to see it just rot, so we decided that we would make some pumpkin soup out of it!  Wow, what a chore, but it was so worth it.  Tomorrow it’s pumpkin seeds and I think I’ll use the rest of the pumpkin to make some pumpkin bread.  Loving fall time up here in the north!

Thank you to all of the parents who met up with me this morning in the FREEZING cold!  I will let you know when your CD’s are ready!
