Blue House Photography -The "B" Family
It is always fun to photograph repeat clients. The "B" family has a special place in my heart, and for that reason alone, they're also a favorite. Read More...

The Yearn for Learning
Today, as the "big kids" were doing their school work and I was working on phonics with Titus; Emily decided that she wanted to "do school" too. She loves to feel like she's doing big stuff like her older siblings, always modelling what she sees and hears. Today, she got out her paper and markers and set herself up at the opposite end of the table from Titus and I. She worked quietly for quite a while, not even interrupting Titus and I one time. This, is a record breaking fact. From the moment she wakes up...she's talking...until the moment she falls asleep...she's talking...and yes, she does talk in her sleep! So, naturally, I was intrigued at her silent, and yet, busy work. I watched, but she had sequestered herself with piles of books and boxes. Finally, I scooted over to look...and she said, "No, Mama, please, wait until I'm finished." Scolded, I slunk back to my place by Titus and waited. Finally, after another 5 minutes or so, she emerged with her paper behind her back and a peacock like expression on her face. "Okay, Mama, you can look now!" and she pulled the paper out in front for me to see. "Do you see, Mama? I did my handwriting!! Just like the big kids!"
Her sweet little hands are covered with marker spots from tracing the outlines of her hands. She knows that the big kids do their "handwriting" everyday and that I always make sure to gush compliments over proper neatness and form. Even though there is nothing neat nor proper about the tracing of these little hands, they thrill my heart as the neatest and bestest (yes, I know that's not a real word) cursive writing lessons I've ever seen. ;)

What's that, you say?
Have you ever heard about about the studies that suggest that men speak several thousand less words a day than women? It has spurred many books and topical studies about relationships and stuff, people have made a lot of money. Turns out, years later, that the study was found to be inaccurate and a new study is suggesting that men and women speak about the same amount, depending on the man or woman, the setting that they're in, and their personality type. Interesting, but not too surprising. Think about it... Some days, you spend time trying to talk to your husband about a subject...and its like playing dentist...pulling very deep rooted teeth!! You ask questions, wait for answers....ask it a different way...wait for a word rather than a grunt...and on it goes...exhausting.

The EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ME AND ARE SORRY YOU ASKED Post
Since its been a very long time since I've posted here, I thought it might be a good time to get acquainted with me again. I know, to some, I am unforgettable...to others, they wish they could be so lucky as to forget. So, which ever category you belong in will determine if you leave, or stay on. I'm not a charmer, you'll either like me or not. No matter, I y'am, what I y'am.
Without further ado...
EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ME
AND ARE NOW SORRY YOU ASKED QUESTIONNAIRE
The phone rings. Who will it be?
Brian, wondering why I didn't answer the phone the first 3 times he tried calling while I
left my phone on vibrate...again.
I always try, but if there happens to be only one cart corral in a square mile parking lot and I'm not near it, well, then...
I like to talk, but if some other blabber mouth is doing all the talking then I'll gladly just listen.
