Wordless Wednesday - Missing My Friend - Omaha Professional Photographer

Little Artists

The girls were into the paint today creating masterpieces. Lela is on me to frame and hang her work.  I need to buy a matte cutter.  She has recently been selling her paintings for $1- $3 dollars.  Becca, in these photos, had been recruited by Lela to clean her brushes while she painted.  What else are big sisters for?

Of course, silliness always ensues in whatever project Lela is involved in- she is SO her father's daughter. :)

Becca doing her designated 'job'.  I love it when my girls enjoy time with each other.

They had so much fun this afternoon.  The table has now been cleared off, paint and brushes put away and canvases - 4 to be exact- are drying on the counter.  The girls have moved onto their next project- avidly watching a movie downstairs munching on popcorn.  Wonder what their next adventure will be?  Visit my facebook fanpage by clicking on the link to the left or by clicking here to see more of their painting adventure.

Sneak Peek {Baby J}

This little guy is absolutely adorable!  There are several great images from this session, you can view a few of them at www.facebook.com/e.viningphotography .  In the meantime, I just had to share this one out here on the blog.  It makes me smile every time I view it.

A Dandy Bouquet {Omaha Professional Photographer}

My daughter ran up to me this weekend with her hands behind her back and a big grin on her face.  She told me she had a surprise for me and presented this handful of dandelions. She laid them at my feet.  I felt like a queen! You may see a handful of a common and typical pesky weed.  I think not!  I see a beautiful sunshiney yellow bouquet of handpicked flowers presented with love. And that is just dandy to me! :)

Twinkle Toes {Omaha Professional Photographer}

My daughter wants a pair of these tennies shoes so bad she can taste it!  She's drooling over them, for real.  I have to admit, they are cute.  :)

More Fun Facts About February {Omaha Professional Photographer}

I have really enjoyed looking about facts about this month.  Kinda silly, maybe, but I like to learn new things. My husband is the King of Meaningless Facts- or so I tease him- so I figure maybe I should try and impress him with some February knowledge.

1)  February 15th was the date of the Roman festival of Lupercalia - where young men held a lottery to decide which girl would be theirs.
2)  The Taj Mahal at Agra, India is perhaps the most splendid gift of love. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beautiful wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Work on the Taj began in 1634 and continued for almost 22 years. It took the labor of 20,000 workers from all over India and Central Asia.
3)   In February 1847, the United States Post Office introduced adhesive stamps, which simplified post office operations along with one's mailing process for Valentine's Day, February 14th.
4)  Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809. Lincoln's most notable act as the United State's 16th president was freeing the slaves. Lincoln has no surviving heirs to date, although he fathered 3 sons all of whom passed away before the age of 20. Many know that Lincoln was a tall man standing 6' 4", and he was also physically adept as both a wrestler and axe man. Lincoln appeared even taller because of his top hat where he supposedly stashed cash.
5)  February 22, 1924--In the United States, Calvin Coolidge became the first president to broadcast from the White House. The speech was broadcast on 42 stations.
 
Do you know any cool trivia about February?  Leave a comment and share if you do have an interesting fact about this month. :)

GPOYW {Omaha Professional Photographer}

I learned something new yesterday.  I subscribe to Photojojo's feed and yesterday they featured GPOYW which stands for Gratuitous Photo of Yourself Wednesday.  It sounded like fun to me. :)  I thought I might participate this week on my blog.  Here is my photo for this Wednesday!
