Day 90 - 7/9/07

We went to a baseball game yesterday as part of my sister's birthday. One of the first things that Haleigh wanted to do was get her face painted. So her dad took her to have it done. The artist did a great job, but I am always amazed when I see face paint so close to a child's eyes.

Plus it was quite hot and humid and the paint never fully dried, so every time she touched her face it smeared a little. Top that off with her getting upset enough to cry a few times, and by the time we left this butterfly wasn't nearly so fancy.

Day 89 - 7/8/07

Birthday candles - yum!

It was my sister's 26th birthday today. We had a very full, busy day. After all of that, we went back to the house for cake and ice cream. After the candles are blown out, they have to be licked clean of frosting!

Haleigh was only too happy to help.

Day 68 - 6/17/07

I just love this photo.

My niece Haleigh playing with the door in our hotel room. It actually connected two rooms, but it also fit perfectly to create a door for the little closet that she is standing in. It didn't latch as a closet door, simply covered the opening.

Day 53 - 6/2/07

What happens when the action is done:


The lighting on this one is a little weird because I took it with no flash. I didn't want to use the flash or turn on any additional lights because I didn't want to wake her up. The more I look at it though, the more I like it because it has something of a dreamy look to it.

Day 52 - 6/1/07

According to my favorite three-year-old, keychain flashlights are so cool that they can lock and unlock cars. She loved this light on my keychain (we had to stop her from shining it towards people because she inevitably hit others in the eye with the light) and every time we went out to get in the car, she wanted to hold the keys to unlock it, and she always did it with this pink flashlight. Then, when we got out of the car, she had to lock it, again with the flashlight. Her thought was that the light had to come on to make it work, since our car doesn't beep like hers does.

(Truth be told, we don't lock that car, which is why she never realized that she wasn't really unlocking or locking it)

Day 51 - 5/31/07

For today's "action" shot: SLIDING.

This is a photo of my niece at the park. She just loved the slides. It was tricky to time it so I'd get her and not an empty slide because the slide was enclosed and she shot down it so fast that she nearly came right off the end every time.
