Life is like a camera
Focus on what is important
Capture the good times
Develop the negatives
and if things don't work out.....
Just take another shot.

The windows are finally done all around the house! The nasty weather this winter caused a few delays and it is great to have the window work all complete.
Mother sent me this photo taken by Doug the caretaker at the lake. He had discovered where the eagles were nesting. How wonderful it is that they chose the lake for their home. I've taken some great photos of them in the trees on the other side of the lake near Mother's house.
The big winter storm was kind to Mother at the lake. Wichita got over 14 inches!
Kristin and Chris went to the Adidas sale at the fairgrounds. They found these cute little toddler outfits for little Baby Cooper!
I benefited from Sierra's decision to make blueberry pancakes this morning! She and I both got up early for grocery shopping and exercise, then had these for "brunch" around 11AM.
Tonight, I was invited to a birthday celebration for Chris' dad and brother-in-law. It was held at a relative's restaurant. The food just coming and coming! It was a wonderful time with lots of family!
I guess I should get new tires before my trip to Texas, hate buying stuff like that!
YAY! I received an offer on my property in Iowa late Sunday night and signed the final agreement today. Closing will be on or about March 15, 2013. This couldn't have happened at a better time.....
My first baby clothes purchase! I am pretty proud of myself for waiting so long, these will be needed winter/spring of 2014.....
It looks like Sierra and Cody are having a good time riding in the Ozarks! Thanks to them for stopping long enough to send me a pic, they know how much I love them!
Sierra sent me this pic today. She and Cody are headed to Arkansas for a weekend of riding. I hope they stay safe and have lots of fun!
Today, I am hoping that these beautiful roses last quite a few days! Kristin gave them to me for Valentine's Day. Everyday, I am so thankful for my two beautiful daughters, they are such precious gifts!
I came home from work today to a wonderful Valentine from Sierra - her specialty, home baked cookies, absolutely yummy!
I just love these e cards, some days they just state the obvious (in my opinion).
Kristin sent me a pic of her early Valentine's present from Chris. I'll need to get over there and take a better photo!
New chair and ottoman, Thule and "pregnant lady" approved!
I got to go with Chris and Kristin to register for gifts for their baby shower that is going to be in April. Wow, babies "need" a lot of stuff these days!
A new car for the Cooper/Siebenlist family! It is a Subaru Impreza, they picked me up for Mexican lunch after only going "to look" at cars...isn't that the way it goes?
I found this great photo of Katie racing at Worlds, I'm not sure who took it. Katie finished 10th! What a great cross season she has had!
My cousin Nancy posted this photo on Facebook 3 days ago on her Dad's birthday. My uncle Jerry, Mother's older brother. She posted, "Thinking about Dad today. Best of the Best ".
Someone had been begging me to bring bagels to work. Since I met Maggie for lunch yesterday at Panera, it was easy. So, I am a "Bagel Hero" today!
So, after the World Championships were held all on Saturday because the river might flood, it did. I have this photo of before and the water did go over and flood the course on Sunday. Good call, UCI!
I went to the home show today with Kristin and Chris. I love this furniture and plan to visit this shop soon to see everything!
Due to flooding on the river in Louisville, Saturday and Sunday UCI Cyclocross World Championship races were both held today. The crowds were huge and I was lucky to get close enough to get this photo.
I raided the freezer today and found enough ingredients to make a crock pot of chicken and noodles. It should last all weekend!
