P52 - Week 3

I have spent the week in editing heaven ... at least 3 memory cards bursting with pictures just begging to see PhotoShop from the inside out. But I must confess, I have spent most of my week looking at one particular memory card ... the one I filled last Sunday with our good friend Bobby & his lovely lady, Whitney.

Bobby & Whitney are celebrating their first year together. So we concocted a plan involving a stroll through the TAMU campus, hitting all of their favorite spots, with a final wrap up back at Windy Sport & Fitness, since Bobby is another of the fine staff there.

But the weather makers didn't feel the time was right for an afternoon on campus. Instead, they delivered wet, grey, and dreary. What's a photographer to do?

In this case, we decided that simple was better. We met up at Windy where the weather is always nice and the rain outside could keep splashing away.

It turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. Inside the familiar walls of Windy, we were all able to relax, laugh, and enjoy a little 'together time'.



Happy Anniversary, Bobby & Whitney. I wish you many more happy years together.

a magic moment

This week's theme at I *heart* Faces is "Celebrating Mom." As I am usually _behind_ the camera, I'll admit that I don't have many pictures of me and my little guy. But that's OK. I have plenty of other ways to record our memories together. Like the beautiful poem he wrote for me at school or the lovely zinnia we planted in the garden this weekend.

SO ... for the 'Celebrating Mom' challenge this week, I decided to celebrate my mom's mom! My Memaw. Great Memaw to my boy. She's truly worth celebrating, folks. I have been blessed with the world's greatest grandmothers, let me tell you. And my mom's mom truly takes the cake. She's this tiny little spitfire of a woman. Full of 'vim & vigor' you might say. And it doesn't matter how many years have passed by, she is still very full of life and laughter. And she ALWAYS has a kiss for the grandkid (or great-grandkid) willing to crawl into her lap.

This is my special boy with his equally special Great Memaw:


Aren't they just too sweet together?! Makes me tingle in all the right ways. I love seeing them together. I love hearing them laugh together (she gets his 8 year old humor like no other). I am so blessed that he will always have these memories of her. It's something we will always be able to share.

I love you, Memaw!!!

Now hop on over to I *heart* Faces and celebrate Moms with everyone over there!
