Today & Yesterday

Today, I share with you a picture of my Baby Zane. Mind you Baby Zane had his birthday yesterday and he turned 9 years old. Earlier this month, I found him sitting on the couch with his toy on his arms. I did not pose him, this is the super model I walked in on. -Tipped toed over to the camera and hoped for the best. This was one of the pictures I took. Zane is one of my special kids. He is sweet, loving, quiet, and very patient. I learn a lot about life through him. I have a big smile on my face-- I am happy and blessed to have such a great kid in my life.

Yesterday I did some laundry, my cats take turns being the first to keep the laundry warm. My Zoe posed for me. I was so happy to be able to get this picture.

This beautiful cat owns Mike. I had the fortunate opportunity to capture a few shots of him, Zoe, this weekend. I love his face.

Layout: Blondie

Here is the completed version of the layout you saw in my vLog. I love Blondie, of course his name is Nonni. I put the journaling about his birthmark that I at first mistakened for dirt that I couldn't wash off him in this layout. I love this kid. He is so cute, sorry I get so mushy about this kid. He is so sweet and he wakes me up almost every morning. I really enjoy being around him. He makes me laugh with how cute he is.

Ah, my baby blondie, Nonni. I love this picture. The way he is looking at me. He jumped up on the stool on his own. I like the way, I decided to get low and have him look down on me. A quick cute story about Nonni that I am going to write in the layout for this picture. When I first adopted Nonni from the "wild", I took a wash cloth and cleaned the sand and dirt from his body. There was this spot on his head I just couldn't manage to get off. I thought it was oil because he was crawling under a car when I saw him. I scrubbed and scrubbed and then I looked at the spot again. It was a darkness in his fur...a birthmark! My baby blondie has a birthmark! Everytime I see it I think of this story. It does not really show in pictures and you would have to know it is there to really notice.

Zoe's birthday

"Ahh, the taste of catnip in my bowl, so satisfying and yet not really what I had hoped for for my tenth birthday. I was thinking more like a mound of tunafish and a Swedish massage." Zoe's thoughts..probably. Zoe is my oldest child. She definitely has the run of the house. She is so beautiful and positively healthy. I am blessed to have her in my life. Happy Birthday Zoe. I love being your Mommy.
