Sneak peak: fun with cousins

I had so much fun playing with these cousins. They were amazing! It was super hot, but they just did their little boy thing and played hard.

Doesn't this just melt your heart?

Love when little ones pretend...
Oh. My. Sweetness.

I just had to see this in "chocolate!"

Thank you for the fun morning together!

Introducing, Miss K, as PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

Miss K took each of these photos. She asked me for a bit of advice regarding settings, then ran off and posed these, composed them, and shot them. I added a bit of contrast, and tried to help a bit with color as they were backlit, early evening light, through the trees and grass color casting issues... but they on whole hers. Please, if you stop by, leave a little love for the nine year old photographer?

Check out the action shot- and Miss S's shoes-on-the-wrong-foot- jump!

Hobie is a great sport, isn't she??
This one makes me chuckle.

I don't know what they were doing here. It's just funny.

Catching up again...

Allow me this: a moment of sentiment.

Our precious little man, my nephew. This year and a half has been such a joy.

I love

the boyness,

the special treatness,

the once in a while you are our world for a weekendness,

the belly laughingness,

the curiosness,

the adventurousness,

the let's go findness,

the little boy who you are,

the cousin and nephew we love.

Thank you for your patience with my silliness...

And now, for some catching up photos:

LoVe this photo... a girl's love for her Nonna.

There's something special between cousins...

Pouting. 'Nuff said.

A quiet moment.

Peek a boo, little man!

Love those bubble pictures...

Hillarious! Nine cousins, this is my favorite blooper :)

Some more snow!

Miss S staged a silly photo shoot in front of the window where I took my shots from inside. This is the one I LOVE.

Our street's stop sign, today before we were plowed out:
Today's skies are a welcome blue, sunny and fairly warm. Made for pleasant shoveling!

This tree across the way was my favorite sight through the storms. It's still hanging on to it's dead leaves!

The storm breaking up yesterday evening.

All of our cars, buried in the snow! Look for the little purple hood! The waving Dad in the background too.

Our entry way, yesterday afternoon.

The storm!

Here are three from our last storm, on 2.10. We really do love our snow!

Although it's continuing to snow, it's been such a beautiful 24 hours I had to post with some of the photos I have so far.
I LOVE this photo of the tree tops from yesterday...

This is what the stop sign looked like this morning:

Our grill, with Miss K as a point of reference:
Just yesterday afternoon:
We are very fortunate. We have power, we have our cable and telephone. Our trees are up. Some of our friends and family haven't fared as well. We hope everyone stays safe!
