Crib

Eric and I put the crib together today!! I think it looks great against the green wall and with the bedding. Now all we need is to get a mattress and then I can show the whole thing. Until then, here is a sneak peek.

Always

If there is an article of clothing on the bed, she must sleep on it - even if only a little.

Bookcase

Athena used to love sleeping on this bookcase when we lived in the rental house. Once we moved here, it was moved into the guest room and had tons of books that prevented her from napping. Saturday we moved the bookcase into the office (because the guest room will now be known as the baby's room) and Athena wasted no time getting up onto the shelves before I had the chance to fill them again.

Lazy Sunday

Lazy Sundays call for napping on the couch.

Happy Friday

I hope everyone has a lovely Memorial Day Weekend!!

Food Photography

I have taken some shots of food before, but always as a last minute, right before I sit down to eat kind of thing. This past Saturday I went to Tracy's house and she, Momma, and I had ourselves a food photoshoot. Here's some of what we got:

Shutter Envy

I got this really cute camera necklace from Arete on etsy.

I ♥ etsy.

Tippy Toes

One of the groups I participate in on Flickr challenged people to take a photo with the theme of 'tippy toes'. Here is my shot. I love the expression on Stella's face.

Sweet Stella

Roses

My rosebushes have exploded, so yesterday afternoon I snipped a bunch and put them in mason jars to give to our neighbors. I wish I could keep some in the house, but Athena is a fiend when it comes to any kind of plant. She will not rest until she has eaten every last bit.

Bokeh & Heart

Weekly Words Challenge 2009

Bokeh

I love shots with good bokeh.





This next one was actually taken by Eric, but the bokeh is great!



Heart





And finally, a photo with heart bokeh.

Saturday Cookout

This past Saturday we went over to our neighbor's house for a cookout. BJ and Amy have a big charcoal grill and we prepared the following food:



Shrimp
Steak
Chicken Kabobs with Peppers and Onions
Corn on the cob
Potato Wedges
Garlic Bread



I also made a strawberry pie from some farm fresh berries. We ate the pie before I got a chance to take a photo, so I'll leave you with a photo of the berries that I took when we got them, and an in process pie shot.





Needless to say, we ate ourselves silly that night.

Cradle

This is the cradle Eric used as a baby. His mother has been saving it to pass down. We picked up when we went to Knoxville last weekend and set it up in front of the bay window in our bedroom. I really love it.
