P52- Week 34

Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a great weekend! 

 Today I am trying to pull together a birthday plan for my two youngest who will both celebrate birthdays this week! It's hard to believe that Little Miss will be three tomorrow! Time sure does pass by  in a flash. Makes this mama's heart hurt to see them grow up so quickly. It seems like just yesterday they were running me down the hall on a stretcher to a delivery room, lol. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Thanks for visiting!

Friday Photo Journal - Week 34

Hello friends! It's been another crazy busy week here at the Rich house and we are now gearing up for the big week of birthdays! No slowing down in sight. I think I need a vacation from summer vacation!

Here's a peek at the fun we managed to pack in this week:

Project 13 Blog Circle - August 2013

Welcome to this month's installment of a collaborative photo project I am thrilled to be participating in with several talented photographers. This project concentrates on focusing on our everyday moments. Together we will share our images at the end of each month focusing on various sub-themes related to the over-arching theme of Everyday Moments.

 As we all know, life slips by very quickly and the images shared will be small glimpses into our everyday lives. It also provides us a place to share images that may or may not be technically perfect, these are the ones that pull at our heartstrings. I invite you to follow along with me on this project.

Our theme this month is "the great outdoors." While I would have loved to have taken the kids on a nature hike, or even to spend an afternoon with them at the beach, and capture them connecting with nature, our schedule just wouldn't allow it. This summer has been nothing but work. Though I am very grateful for the work, I do miss the days when we spent our time exploring and learning together. 

Our homeschool studies will be starting up again soon and I am looking forward to some field trips, experiments and time dedicated to growth and exploration. In the meantime, I did capture these shots of my littlest exploring the great outdoors...just outside our door. 

Please continue along the blog circle by visiting my talented friend Sarah. You will love her beautiful work!

WW- Family -VA Outdoor Photo Session

I have been a busy worker bee this summer with client sessions and consequently haven't had much time to shoot and edit images of my own little munchkins. So, I thought I would share another peek of what I've been up to. I do plan to participate in this month's Project 13 Blog Circle (which is tomorrow!) so stay tuned for that post. ;)

You can see more of my recent work on my photography site: Melissa Bliss Photography and my business Facebook page.

P52 - Week 33

Another week is upon us and summer is rolling to an end. I love the Fall season, but all the Halloween decorations in stores these days seem a little out of place. I'm doing my best to savor the last days of summer. The next couple of weeks will be busy ones for us. We have three family birthdays to celebrate, an anniversary and we'll be starting school again. It's sure to be a crazy ride ;)

Thanks for visiting! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
