teatime

This morning I pulled out the old teaset Meghan and I used to play with. It's a bit grungier than I remember but after a good soak in the sink it was ready to go. Watching Sarah play with it brought back a rush of memories of playing with my sister. I hope Sarah will know that same joy one day.

It's weird to see her playing with my old toys. Those are the moments when I look at her and think to myself, "I have a daughter?". Sometimes it's just too weird. Where does the time go?

Sounds like someone needs to get busy if Sarah is going to have a little sister to play with!

I feel the same when the girls play with things I had when I was little. Sarah will be a great big sister.

You think it is weird for you to see Sarah playing with your toys...try being me and seeing my granddaughter playing with MY children's toys. I remember buying that teaset...(I mean I remember the Christmas Santa brought it...) Such sweet pics! I love you! Mom

Looks like Dolly was enjoying the tea just as much as Sarah :-)

Hi :)

I post a message here, cause I cannot do it everywhere...
I think you have a beautiful little girl, really really cute...
And you have so much talent. The first time I saw your pictures, my first feeling was to stop to take pictures!!! Cause I thought that I'm really NUL, in compare of you!!!
Your blog is really amazing, and thanks, cause I always spend good time...

Hope you understand me ;)

I have a question for my blog, how did you do for convert your picture in little size with the same quality? Cause when I try, mine became badder...

Take care of you and your little princess!

Ah, a tea party...with a dolly...that's what being a little girl is about! So glad that the tea set is in the family.
Love You all.....

such wonderful memories you are creating.... all over again!

I love your blog and your photography! I am getting the Nikon D80 in a few weeks and so I've been loving admiring your photos. Your daughter is lucky to have a mom that is creating such beautiful art, documenting her childhood!

So my question-- do you use a filter a lot? Your pics have such great coloring-- how do you achieve that?

Hey, Erin - just in case you have had a MILLION hits this week - it's us. In addition to spending countless hours explaining "you'll see Sarah Sunday," we CONSTANTLY have to come look at Sarah on the computer. You should see our monitor - it is COVERED in fingerprints and kiss marks. She is well missed!

These are gorgeous .. I just love the way you capture her playing - she will be so happy when she is older .. that you captured her in such good photos!!
Take care, Julie
