Project 365 Week 6

Still behind but trying to get caught up...

Notice any resemblance? This is the portrait of Jim Jensen did to hang up at the Kindergarten Dance with Dads. They weren't able to go to the dance since Jensen was sick, but she brought it home from school today. The hairline is pretty accurate. Not sure about the blue ears though...

I bought this basil today at the grocery story. I thought it was cool that it had a root ball that was in water. I actually was able to use it for about a week before it croaked. I'm growing my own basil but I started it from seed and it's taking FOREVER to grow. Maybe by the summer I'll be able to plant it outside and have fresh basil whenever I want.

I volunteered in the workroom at Shadow Forest today. Mainly what I do in there is copy things for teachers...sometimes I sharpen pencils, or die cut things...all very mentally taxing things but I think it does help the teachers out. As I was leaving at the end of my shift I walked through the library and there were Jensen and Jackson! Jensen's class was having their regular weekly library time and Jackson was sitting out his recess time due to his asthma flare up. They weren't actually sitting like this...I made them pose, in case you were wondering.

A meal that I created years ago...pasta with tomatoes, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Some nights, like tonight, we add sauteed shrimp. These are staples that I almost always have on hand in the pantry and freezer so it's something I can make when I have no other plans...or when what I planned goes wrong...like tonight when I opened the package of pork tenderloin that I was planning to cook and it smelled really bad. Yuck.

The end of a long week...

Good thing she rested up last night because tonight is the Adventure Princesses Father/Daughter Dinner Dance. She got to get all dressed up and go out with Jim. I even made an appointment to get her hair done. She smiled ear-to-ear the entire time the girl was working on her hair.

Lacrosse is going well so far. Had their first scrimmage this week.

Not even one picture of Jordan this week. I guess that's not too weird since we really don't see her all that much.

Nice up-date Rita.

Good picture of Jackson and Jensen. That would have been my first question "Were they sitting like that?"

I made your banana bread recipe - delicious - Better than mine; Must be the sour cream. Everything else is the same. Jean

Please keep up the great work (and let me know if it creeps you out that i look at your stuff, if that's the case, i'll try to stop myself:) -shawn arnsbarger (cindi's friend/underling)

Yes, Shawn is a friend of mine (although I don't think of her as my underling...more like one of my minions...) Great updates. You've got a really good eye for photography! Cindi

The photography thing must be hereditary... but you know... able to cross bloodlines. Anyway, the reason I haven't been updating my personal blog is because I have been focused on the business blog (www.omg-photography.squarespace.com). School has been taking over my life! It hardly seems fair!
