Flowers, Lizards, and Fun Times; Here’s September!

Well, we had a blast in September, for the most part. Nate was gone, it was just me ‘n Charly, killing time. I take more pics when Nate is away, so he can still see what’s up at home. So here ya are: September.

Day 245: 1st Dentist Visit: Yes I know, 5.5 years old is prolly a little old for a first dentist visit, but at least we had one. :) And she had a great time, she’s such a good kid!

Day 246: Name Letters: Inspired by some super creative ladies at church, I decided to let Charly decorate letters for her name, and then we hung them on her bedroom wall. She let me decorate a tiny little bit, but she did 95% of the painting, stickering, and gluing herself. And they look fab! Then I asked her for a rockstar pose. :)

Day 250: My Roses, 1 & 2: I have a rosebush in my garden. I pray I can keep it alive, it’s sooooo purty!

And this next pic I am totally in love with. I learned some new things in Adobe Camera Raw in the process of editing this photo.

Day 251: Incoming Storm: Yep, we were driving toward it. Just HAD to get groceries.

Day 255: Charly and Miss Priscila: This is another cell phone picture. My phone cam takes the crummiest photos. I tried to save it in Photoshop, but there wasn’t much I could do. I still have a lot to learn. I also REALLY want a Sony c905 phone when I upgrade in January. Google it if you like. :)

Day 256: Cold Pizza: This is a pic for Daddy, it’s Charly eating cold pizza, straight from the fridge. Yup, Daddy’s little girl!

Day 258: Charly’s New Boots: Fall marks the time when Charly gets new boots. It’s a yearly tradition. This year she chose these over ones that looked cooler, because these “look like Daddy’s boots.” :-D

Day 263: Charly N Mommy: My favorite photo of us to date. Love it!

Day 265: Charly’s Shirt: So, Charly lost all her markers because she chose to color on her WHITE CHURCH PANTS with a blue marker. Her excuse was that the marker was washable. Lucky for her it was. So I decided, if that’s what she wants to do, then I’ll buy her fabric markers and let her draw on clothes on purpose. This is her first shirt. That’s her family, including our dog Annie, inside a heart, and then over the top right of us is God. :) And of course lots of hugs and kisses. Daddy is the big person, and I think he has on a “rock shirt.”

Day 266: McDonald’s Rainbow: As we were leaving Mickey Dee’s we saw this awesome rainbow. Not the best intersection to photograph, but that’s okay. I like the contrast.

Then on our way home, we saw this sky, and I just had to stick the camera phone out the window as we were driving by:

Day 267: Roses Day 1: So my darling husband ordered us 100 roses. They filled 2 large vases and 3 small bud vases. He’s so awesome!

Day 268: Roses Day 2: He had the foresight to order a vase to match the new dishes I bought, that he hadn’t even seen yet. What man thinks of that?! Mine does! Hehe.

Day 269: New Wedding Band: I finally ordered a new ring for myself, after a year of not wearing the original one that doesn’t fit my finger anymore.

 

Later in Day 269, we had an amphibious visitor. Dunno how long he’d been in our house, but it was cool all the same. :)

And in this one, Charly thought it was so funny that his tail looked like it had fallen off, lol.

Day 273: Princess Charly: I so love this photo, and the freckles especially! Now, can I have my 5yo back? She seems to have been replaced by a 10-year-old…

 

Okie doke, that’s all for September. Today is Oct 10th and I’ve only taken two photos so far this month, so I’m sure that the Oct post will be much shorter than this one was. Whatever happened to me posting once a week? Eh, I dunno, but at least I’m posting. *-) Later!
