10 minutes with Kira and Bella

too quiet

I haven't posted in almost 2 months!  Crazy!  A lot has happened.  I may blog about some of the things later; I may not  : )

Yesterday I did a photo shoot with a super sweet 6 month old.  His mama is surprising his dad and grandpa with photos containing some of their military stuff.

Check out how charming this little guy was!

The nice thing about photographing my friend's children is that I can bring Kira with me.  I usually park her on a blanket with a snack and some toys and she's fine.  Yesterday, she was a little too quiet.

I looked over and found this:

Fruit puree everywhere.  She usually doesn't waste a drop of one of these....

I love her.

new table

Yesterday after church Brent, Kira, and I drove down to Cannon Falls to a large antique store to look for photography props or decorations for our house.  I am drawn to green glass jars, dark brown bean pots, old crates and boxes, and antique kitchen utensils.  And of course, Red Wing pottery items that cost more than my truck does.

We were walking through a furniture area when I saw a bench I REALLY liked.  It was definitely old, but I wouldn't be nervous sitting on it.  The stain and the quality of the wood was gorgeous.  I couldn't find a price.

Turned out there were two benches, and the went with an old farmhouse table.  The whole set was gorgeous.  Brent and I paused and looked at it for a moment.  We both loved it.


Long story a little shorter:   we left with the table and two benches.  I love it!! 

On a related note:  is anybody looking to buy a table and 4 chairs??
