Busy Just Gets Busier

So I went from busy to busier and there seems to be no slowing down. I can just imagine all of you are also just as busy. Why does everything seem to come all at once and around a Holiday?

I forgot to post on Thursday my diptych that Jen and I did for the Team-Up Thursday. I thought I had done the post the night before but it wasn't until the end of the day Thursday that I realized I hadn't. I think that was the night I laid down with the boys for a few minutes and fell asleep. (I've bet we have all been there before.)

I just love Jen photo and how ours go together. I think her's is of decoration on a mantle maybe since I see the lovely bokeh of the Christmas tree in the back ground. Mine is of the Snowman outside on our front lawn patch of grass. I really like how we both had the bokeh on the same side and the color red in the focal point. The color red definitely makes me think December.

One of the nice things about December is the Christmas light, the kids ask me to drive down our street when we get home just to look at the other houses and their light. We also look for lights along the way as we travel home and sometimes take alternate (off the highway) routes just to see them.


I tried to take a shot of my neighbors house with the tripos and a longer shutter and I love how the light look like little sunburst. I am really hoping to get the chance to take more pictures over the Holiday. Shelly and I are talking about doing a "52 Week" project instead of a 365 this coming year. 52 seem so much more manageable than 365. We haven't iron out the details since there are a million more pressing items on the list. Like I said busy just got busier.

I can say that I did finally send my Christmas cards which is a huge accomplishment for me. I will post some pictures and the out-takes (which are the best) soon.

Don't forget to head on over to Megan and Hip Momma to see the other Team-Up Thursday photos for the December theme.

Busy, busy, busy!

Lord, have I been busy and it not doing anything fun like blogging or photography. I have a project at work that is really taken off and a re-certification exam that is consuming almost every other spare minute of my time.

I am blogging now because I actually have 23 mins before a meeting. I wanted to put out a quick post and a few pictures, then read a few of my fellow blogger's that I haven't got to all week or weekend. I haven't even look to see what my reader is up to. I don't think I even want to know.

Here is a little hodgepodge of pictures, all taken by my husband except the one of Nicolo with the Binky.

I really like this one, he usually only snaps picture if we are looking at the camera, I think he captured this by mistake.
This is how Francesco is all the time, 24/7.
Me and my sweet baby.
Binky Boy.
This is an attempt to get a picture of me with the Tasmanian devil, I was surprised there isn't a lot more motion in this picture because he would not sit still for nothing.
My exam end in 2 1/2 weeks. Hope fully things will slow down, the weather will cool, the leaves will change and I will get some Mommy/Blogging/Photo time!
