LONG time here!!!

Ok, so I'm a Facebook person now. My daughter is soon to be 9! LOL. Thought I could at least update a tad tho....she went ice skating today.

Abby is 7!

I can't believe my daughter is 7 yrs old! It is going so fast...sigh. I made a Gabriella cake from HSM for her.

More Rochester....

All were taken today. The clouds were so puffy!

Kodak. We all wonder how long this building will stand. So sad how this company is fading away.

Cheryl, my friend, requested this pic of our bridge.

Rochester, NY

I love my 'hometown' and would never leave. I have been wanting this first shot for many years! :) Got it yesterday.

A twin shoot

I was able to do a photo shoot today of twins! Are they not just SO adorable?? Meet Marie and Grant. It was so wonderful to visit with their Mom and Dad afterwards. Our family had not seen them in a while. Thanks for having us out!

Diet Eman, Things We couldn't Say

I was Googling for a transcript and stumbled upon a book from a blog...

I am very interested in Corrie ten Boom, so got this from the library.
Finished it last night and it is an incredible book! If you are a WWII
history buff, this is a great one!

I wanted to share.

Abby got her My Twinn doll....

Back in April, Abby asked for an American Girl doll. I explained they are VERY expensive and require MUCH care, as they are very expensive. "Maybe we will ask Santa when you are in third grade." And left it at that. She continued looking at the American Girl catalog until it was falling apart and dreaming of the doll, lol. So then I gave her Brother Danny's old job of rinsing/returning cans. She could save the money from that to buy her doll.

She LOVED that idea!!! So we started saving. She came across another catalog in summer for My Twinn dolls and decided she wanted one of these first. Same rules applied: Save can money. She has worn BOTH catalogs out, lol, but had saved a little over $60 so far.

I 'happened' to go to the My Twinn website for the 'first' time on Monday, low and behold they were having 40% off and they were $59.99...with the sale ending that NIGHT! I thought that was pretty cool I happened to go there! We immediately sat down and went thru the dolls and she chose the one she wanted. It arrived today! She was SO excited! I think it is kind of 'nice' since she does not have a sister. She built a bed out of a cardboard box for it also. Gillian is her name. I think Abby chose well.
