88/365: Old Friends, New Friends

Today we were finally able to meet up with some friends today that I have known online for a while. The mommy and I were in a group together while we were pregnant. Our girls are now a year and a half old. We also have older girls that are within a month or so apart. Our older girls are in the same dance class, so we will be seeing each other often!

87/365: From Blog to Book


87/365: From Blog to Book, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

I've been spending late nights trying to get my blog converted to book form. The way I blog and caption my pictures apparently does not translate well to a book. It's taking a lot of time to get everything converted and looking halfway decent.

85/365: Billy


85/365: Billy, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Billy (the stuffed lamb in this picture) has been a big part of our lives since Juli was about 3 months old. She took to him and wouldn't let go. Since she was about 6 or 7 months old, she would not go to sleep without him. She rubs the satin ribbon between her thumb and forefinger until she falls asleep. He's her lovey and her best friend.

I don't know if she realizes it yet or not, but there are actually about 5 "Billies" in rotation at our house. LOL

84/365: A quiet place, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Things at work are kind of busy, hectic and crazy right now. I needed to get out and clear my mind. I grabbed my camera and headed over to Valley Forge National Park on my lunch break. It's so peaceful and quiet there.

82/365: Livi Loves Windows


82/365: Livi Loves Windows, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Livi always climbs up on the couch and sits on the radiator to look out the back window. She learned this from her big sister. It's always been a favorite spot of Juli's too.

81/365: Tutu Sisters, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Juli had her first dance class today. She was so excited to go. Livi got upset and had a fit when Juli put her leotard and tutu on. Juli got her dress-up tutu for Livi to wear and everyone was happy!

Another long day without getting the camera out until late. After doing my nightly routine I realized I was almost out of picture taking time.

Clearasil time. Pinkies up. ;-)

I noticed this statue thing when I was out for a lunch break today. For some reason it grabbed my attention enough to take it's picture.

I didn't get a chance to take my 365 picture until we were about to get into bet. My ever-willing little model agreed to smile for me.

76/365: Mooooo


76/365: Mooooo, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

We bought a box of fudge while we were down the shore. Juli saw us putting it in the fridge and wanted to know what it was. James told her it was a cow. She asked if she could see it. He told her yes, but she had to cover her ears.

He proceeded to moo as he opened the box and quickly closed it. Livi came over and got in on the action. They had to make sure they covered their ears or the cow wouldn't moo.

This went on until James told them it was time for the cow to go to sleep and we needed to put him back in the fridge. He gave Juli the honor and told her she had to be super careful putting him back.

I never saw her move so slow and cautiously before! LOL!!!

There was still a tiny cow living in a box in our refridgerator until the next day when we took the fudge out to have a piece. Gullible kids.

75/365: Riding the Boards


75/365: Riding the Boards, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

James (in front) and Joseph rode their motorcycles on the boardwalk today in a charity ride benefiting the United Way. This part of the boardwalk (in front of the convention center) is actually concrete instead of boards.

There were SO many bikes in this ride and thousands more in the area that didn't participate. Definitely a site to see!

74/365: Bike Show


74/365: Bike Show, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

With Hanna in town, it rained off and on most of today. It really downpoured from about 3pm until around 8pm. Earlier in the afternoon we went over to the Wildwood Convention Center to see the Pro Bike Builder Show. There were a lot of really cool bikes there. It did look like a lot of builders may have bailed out due to the storm.

This picture is of Arlen Ness. Apparently he is a bigshot in the custom bike world. James knew who he was right away. I am lucky that I remember his name! LOL

73/365: Hanna Time, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

We arrived at the Jersey shore just in time to meet tropical storm Hanna there. I think this is how they were spelling Hanna.

Luckily not too long after this it let up and we were able to get out and get some provisions and check out some of the bikes that came for bike week at Roar to the Shore.

72/365: Focus on You


72/365: Focus on You, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Tonight after packing for the shore and packing for the girls to go with my parents for the weekend, I was checking out my 50mm lens. I was worried about the focus and if the lens worked right. I focused on James' left (right side of the picture) and it obviously focused. So it's me not the lens, LOL!

71/365: Dancing Shoes, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Juli starts dance class next week. We took her out tonight to get her shoes. She has to have pink ballet shoes and black tap shoes. She was so excited she was dancing all around the store. Of course, Livi wanted to dance too. Yeah, guess who else got a pair of ballet shoes.

69/365: Safety Town


69/365: Safety Town, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

We took the girls over to Safety Town to ride bikes today. Juli has been asking to play with her cousin Katie, so we picked her up and took her too.

Safety Town is an area inside a local park that has streets, traffic lights and buildings. Kids can safely ride big wheels and smaller bikes there while learning how to share the road with others.

Livi enjoyed being a pedestrian in Safety Town.
