Circles

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: You Capture

Carsyn’s evaluation got pushed back another week. One of the ladies that was suppose to come evaluate him is sick. UGH! So he will be evaluated next Thursday at 10am. I hate waiting, really I am such an impatient person about everything. Hopefully we will find out some answers soon though. Thanks again for sticking with me. It has been a roller coaster ride. You all are awesome. I really couldn’t ask for better blog readers friends.

Also I am looking to sell my Janine King DSLR bag it is the same fabric as the one below. If any one is interested please email me [email protected]. I haven’t used it too much. It is still in good condition. It can hold a DSLR with a lens on it and two extra lenses. I think I am also going to sell my regular Nikon Bag let me know if you are interested in that one too.

Now onto You Capture. This weeks theme is circles. I found various circles around my house. I had a lot of fun finding new items to take photos of.

    I just went back to see what's up with Carsyn. What program are you using to evaluate him? We have the 0-3 program coming to our home once every two weeks to do some light physical therapy with Levi, as he is also behind in a few gross motor developments. At 11 months he JUST learned how to sit up by himself, and is finally learning to pull himself up onto furniture. I'm not sure what Carsyn is or is not doing, but I want to encourage you that he is probably just fine!! I was so worried about all that Levi was not doing... but he's perfectly fine... just a little behind in some areas and that is OK, especially in the first year of life. I heard somewhere that all babies seem to even out developmentally at 3 years of age. They might be all over the map before then, but by three most kids are exactly where they need to be. Try not to worry too much, I know it's hard as a mama, but there are lots of awesome FREE programs that will come to your home and give Carsyn the little extra push he might need to get the ball rolling. Some babies just need a little extra time :) {and if it's Carsyn & Levi, I gotta say the cute ones like to be a little lazy, huh?! :) } Good luck, I'll be praying for your family!

    Cheerios seem to be the choice picture for moms of babies :) and the bubbles in the fish tank?! INCREDIBLE!! Seriously, wonderful! I love it!
  16. Amber says

    January 20, 2011 at 12:14 pm

    Sarah, I love them. For some reason I just love the cheerios shot. It must be a season of life thing. OK, so what the heck on Carsyn's evaluation. Now I am even getting a little frustrated for you.

    January 20, 2011 at 11:06 am

    these are really awesome - I suck on manual focus - I try - I really do - I keep reading the manual on what should be where - but then I forget the next time I go to use my camera! (gah - mommy brain)
  18. Rosie Grey says

    January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

    Waiting isn't one of my strong points, either, so I totally understand! Your photos are gorgeous - isn't it always fantastic what you see when looking so closely for something specific?!
  19. WeeMason's Mom says

    January 20, 2011 at 10:25 am

    I'm so sorry they left you hanging again! That sucks soooo bad!! Your circles? Are AMAZING!! It's so cool how you can take totally ordinary items and make them look like works of art!
  20. Beth says

    January 20, 2011 at 10:24 am

    Great circles! I especially love the fish tank one!

    Wow! So many great photos! I think my favorite is the bubble in the fish tank. The water droplet is great too. Looks like you had a lot of fun with your camera this week.

    Do you have a pic of the Nikon bag? I would like to see pics of that and maybe a inside view of the bag you listed here! I love the water droplet pic!!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
