Bird

little bird on the side of little bug's new bike helmet

Yesterday's photo was hard for me. Its really hard to capture photos of birds with an iPhone. We went for a bike ride and saw a couple blue buntings (beautiful) and an owl. But no pics. So I kind of copped out a little (in my own mind) and took a photo of a picture of a bird. That bird is on Ryleigh's new bike helmet, like I said, but more on that in the next post....

Fun Friday

I was pretty excited all day today to get out of work today to start the weekend and take my FUN photo of the day. I couldn't choose just one! Have a great weekend!!

it's fun to ride in the grocery cart like a big girl.

Something I Wore

Boooorrrriiiinnnggg. I wanted to post some cute outfit or shoes at least. But I had to work outside at an event yesterday so I just wore my MAA issued polo and khakis. Not very interesting. I did wear three different pairs of shoes yesterday. This is one of them.

Here We Go Again

Well, with at little encouragement I have decided to re-join the photo-a-day challenge. After reading Chantelle's post over on her blog today, I am super glad I'm going to be a part of it. I mean how inspirational, right? People all over the world are taking just a minute or two out of their day to take a simple little picture of something beautiful. LOVE it.

New prompts for this month:



one - a peaceful little spot in peace park. (yep, it's really called peace park).

I'm looking forward to seeing all the different interpretations of the prompts each day. My friends Christy and Natalie are going to be blogging along too. What about you? Are you taking a photo a day? Let me know I'd love to see them!

Standing Up

Ryleigh has physical therapy at home every Monday; mommy and daddy trade off every other week. Today was a pretty cool PT day.  Because she has little to no feeling and mobility below the knee, Ryleigh will always need some support to be able to bear weight on her legs. Gerti has been working on some removable leg casts to help support Ryleigh's legs so she can stand. Today we got to try them out for the first time!

Gerti brought her iPad so Ryleigh had something to play with while standing at the ottoman.

She acted like she just stands up all the time...no biggie.

For now she needs a little push back on her booty to let her know to keep her back straight. She did really great. She wasn't scared at all, which Gerti said a lot of kiddos are. And she was brave enough to hold on with one hand (or no hands) a couple times. We're looking forward to trying it out a few more times. 

Yay! Go Ryleigh go!!
