May 26th - June 1st

My first time at a Sporting game ... hopefully not my last!

Mom has quite a stack of books on her nightstand.

Happy Hour with work friends ... since we were STILL in school.

Thankfully, the rain held off for the 4th grade family picnic.

A rainy last day of school - from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Enjoying a walk through a different neighborhood.

Estate sale shopping with this little one.

Great location for this month's #InstameetKC!

She looks like a little doll here.

A very creative birthday "card" from a student. 

Sunlight hits this building perfectly.

Cheer up - it's Friday!

Pretty day for a walk on the trails.

Lots of lines and shadows.

Ready for the summer so we can do more of this.

The perfect stop mid-walk for some pretty pictures.

A tree knot!

Such a pretty view of the Plaza from afar.

Rough life for this one.

Drippy nose

Look it up

These clouds showed up just in time for dismissal for the kids.

THIS is what it's all about!

I like my makeup to match my clothes:

Mère and Super Ellen!:

I'm still here ...

... just having a bit of technical difficulty. The good news is that I'm still constantly taking pictures - almost exclusively with my handy, dandy iPhone. The bad news is that 5 years of this silly photo-a-day project means that my laptop is FULL. To. the. gills. It gives me the stink eye each time I hook my phone up to upload the latest pictures.

I'm in the process of backing up (both on an external hard drive - 2 actually AND burning my pictures to discs) so I can delete them off my laptop & save some space. It turns out that backing up some 25,000 pictures is quite a lengthy process, and it leaves me with not much time to play on the innnernets, let alone update this blog.

I hope to get the pictures updated in the next few weeks. Keep coming back. Summer is just around the corner, and I should have much more time to stay updated once my job slows down.

Stuck!

Made the mistake of putting off our walk until it was too late

Catch up time with the girls
