Tumultuous. Best word ever. You know, if Braden and Isobel got married and had babies, they’d have AWESOME eyelashes, our grandkids.

#10 by Maggie's Mind on January 18, 2009 - 1:58 AM
I think there are a lot of faces pissed off at winter, but none are as cute as that. I can’t believe how big Braden is getting! Loved the leaf print, too. All awesome shots.

Why does he keep growing? He’s adorable, scrumptious, and sweet beyond belief, but his cheeeeks, they’re vanishing! I don’t think I can take it!
Also, that leaf shot is super cool.

Easy for me this week….Braden with the giggles (“num num num”) and Playground Nemesis (don’t ask me why, I’m obviously the fruit-loop in the room, but I like it…lol). Gorgeous!

@mountainmama,
We can be loopy together – I love that shot. The textures and colors made me happy.
Even if broken glass does SUCK.

Sometimes Mr. Linky has issues. I can see it just fine right now, though. Check again?
#43 by Write From Karen on January 18, 2009 - 9:55 AM
Pissed off at winter … LOL. I love his expressions. You have a real knack for catching him in the act.
And I can relate to his feeling pissed off at winter. *grin*
Have a great week, Lotus.

@Andrea,
I can see it, and it seems that at least some others can as well (new participants are adding links still)… maybe you should clear your cache and reboot your computer? Or have a look from another computer? It seems to be a problem on your end… I’m sorry! I’ll add your link for you, though.
#55 by merrymishaps on January 18, 2009 - 3:22 PM
Great shots. I really love the close-ups, especially the broken glass. Who knew it could be so beautiful?

#56 by Colleen - Mommy Always Wins on January 18, 2009 - 3:23 PM
Love the rusty fence (and am jealous you’ve been playing outside!)
#57 by Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus on January 18, 2009 - 4:57 PM
@Colleen – Mommy Always Wins,
Don’t be too jealous. It was painfully cold. Braden really WAS angry. He hates the cold. He threw MULTIPLE HUGE FITS.
But we just had to get out for a change!
#58 by connie on January 18, 2009 - 4:27 PM
I came back, while Kendall’s napping & Justin’s playing the Wii w/his friend, to visit other’s ww’s & I don’t see Mr. Linky now either. I saw Andrea’s comment & then your response. I tried restarting Justin’s laptop & it’s still not here. I guess I’ll try back tonite after the boys go to bed. Has anyone else mentioned having problems?
connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=January 11-17 2009
#59 by Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus on January 18, 2009 - 5:02 PM
@connie,
I’m really thrown for a loop. I can still see it just fine, and I know others can… Dory, who commented just below you has recently added her link!
Very, very weird. There must be something odd on Mr. Linky’s end? I have no idea!
This is going to be a serious problem for us on coming Sundays if people can’t see the Mr. Linky. Arrrgh.
#60 by connie on January 18, 2009 - 5:06 PM
@Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus,
I’ll go to my desktop computer & try it from there & then let you know. I think computers have minds of their own sometimes~just sayin’

#61 by connie on January 18, 2009 - 5:19 PM
@Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus,
I came to my desktop computer in our office/playroom & I still can’t see Mr. Linky. I’ll try it again later after the boys go to bed.
connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=January 11-17 2009

The leaf impression is quite striking. Where’d you find that?! I love it!

#63 by Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus on January 18, 2009 - 5:03 PM
@Dory,
There’s a little concrete sidewalk running along side that playground where I took the first 2 shots of Braden. There were about 3 or 4 leaf impressions like that right in the concrete. Super neato, right?
#64 by Andrea on January 18, 2009 - 5:14 PM
Thanks for adding my link…I hope I’m not the only one who can’t see it…sounds like Connie said she can’t see it now either.
I’ll clear my cache and see if that helps though…

Your photography is becoming amazing. I’m loving all the outdoor shots you’ve been taking lately. The glass shot looks great. I really need to spend more time stopping and smelling the flowers so to speak in order to find the things that you always seem to capture.

I’ve been slacking in recent weeks, life hasn’t been all that kind to me so I’ve sort of checked out. Anyway, even though I’m super late in posting, I got some photos up this week! I was determined. Hope everyone likes them! Have a great week…
