I heart this photo and her. Made from love.

Heavenly

I took these photos of my daughter yesterday just as she had finished getting ready for the Prom. She has sheer bright pink curtains in her bedroom where the heavenly late afternoon light was being diffused. It was so hot up in her bedroom, with what seemed like a mini heat wave yesterday and with no central air in our house we were melting as we tried to get her ready for pictures. "Quick", just go stand in front of the window I urged her and hold the curtain in front of you. Despite the 85 degrees in her room, and just wanting to get downstairs and on with the night she agreed. My sweet girl. We are blessed. :)

Before and After Blog Hop

This is a photo of my daughter just before her boyfriend arrived to pick her up for the prom. Awww. Now we know what J.Lo goes through to get ready for American Idol each week. Lol. Hair, make-up, nails, toes, etc. It was an exhausting, but fun afternoon. And, we get to do it all over again next week when she goes to his senior prom. I loved editing and re-editing the many photos I took. This is one of my favs. I edited in picnik using several different actions. I am linking with pixel perfect this week:http://www.pixelperfectblog.com/.

Wordless Wednesday and Rainy Days

Today promises to be wetter than yesterday. I am not minding it so much though. Practices and games continue to be canceled or rescheduled making the week less frantic, the landscape grows greener right before our eyes, and boys become even more adept at XBox.

It's wordless wednesday. Enjoy.
