Short

Some days I just feel short.  Short in height, short tempered, short on time, or like a short order cook. short, short, short.  Am I short-sighted to think this feeling will be short-lived. :oP

January Jones Park Jaunt

We and by we I mean I decided to go to Jones Park today.  We were all just sitting in front of the TV or the computer screen. I took the opportunity to get a couple of updated pictures of my kids.  Pink asked me why I love taking pictures of Milky so much.  I told her a lot of it is that he is growing up with mommy taking photos so he is relaxed and welcomes my shots.  So, she has decided that if she wants to be in shots, that she would actually allow  me to shoot.  The middle one is still hard for me to catch but, I will work on him.

I think it is fairly evident that the child in the following shot, is very comfortable in front of a Nikon. In fact, he feels so comfy he always wants to "borrow" my D50.

Since he is my aspiring photographer, I get him to take a shot of me or my hubby.  Here he shot us both and he got most of us but, really he got me. With my frizzy hair and all. So that is what I look like behind the scenes.

What do you do on really cold windy days?  I can tell you what we do (or at least what he did).  I always love to see kids resting and breathing deeply. It is just beautiful. I really hated to wake this guy up. He was sleeping so well.  But, a mom has to do what a mom has to do.

Tonight will be a hard freeze. I need to go back outside and cover my herbs. Not looking forward to it...at all.

Anyhow, happy dreams tonight.

Warmly,
From The Scarborough House

Galette de Rois

One of my college friends and I are on a baking mission.  She has completed hers but, I have not.   I plan to make this today sometime.  I planned to do it yesterday but, I couldn't find 1 of the ingredients that I needed. I may need to substitute it or something. Aren't these beautiful?

This is the french version of King's Cake (Galette de Rois).  She gave me the recipe but, I have to ask her if she comfortable with me sharing it with the world.
