Yesterday just kind of got away from me.
In fact, every day since Courtney and Cole and Ross left (Courtney is with her mom, Coley is with my mom and Ross is in Hawaii) has gotten away from me.
I've slept in until 7am almost every day (I normally get up at 6am.) and tip-toed around the house hoping to let Annie sleep in until 8am.
And I've just let Annie kind of get ready in the morning at her own pace (she goes to a summer preschool program) figuring that we'll get there when we get there.
Yesterday, Josh Downs called around noon and asked what I was up to. I told him that I was teaching Annie how to wrap her baby in a blanket the way I used to wrap her when she was little and that I hadn't eaten, taken a shower or even brushed Annie's hair yet.
That's when he said, "Do you know it's almost 12:30?"
Having no clue it was 12:30, I kind of hesitated and said, "Ya, of course I realize it's almost 12:30.
And that phone call was immediately followed up by Annie's school, calling to see if she was coming in or not.
And today kind of got started the same way (except I did manage to brush her hair.)
Thankfully, Aunt Misti called needing to borrow swimsuits for Brook & Taylor (who go to the same summer program) so when she stopped by to pick up the suits, she offered to take Annie to school.
And I would normally feel guilty about being lazy but all the kids are coming home soon and I'm just going to laze it up while I still can.
Oh...anymore problems with my pictures looking weird???
Pictures look great! (As always). I love those three white frames by the door. Did they come that way or did you paint them white? Love the vintage feel they have.
And of course, Annie's a doll, and growing up so fast. Who can blame you for lazing around enjoy her company. I wish I could do the same most days with my 5 mo. old whose home while I work. :(

Pictures look AWESOME!! When is erin going to teach us how to do that?

I think everyone needs some lazy days! Sometimes I don't get really motivated until late morning and then I stay up late in the evening. Been working hard to change that but I get so tired when I get up early!
Pictures have looked great ever since you did the test post:)

Glad you had a nice relaxing morning! Photos look great in the blog posting, but for me they still look a bit softer when I click on them.

Pictures look great to me! Enjoy and relax Karen... sometimes we just need a few lazy days...& that's OK!!

Karen - can you tell me what color white your walls are? Thanks!
Posted by: dana | June 22, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Sounds like a great summer morning! And the photos look terrific once again! yay! I am glad you figured it out!

Everyone needs lazy days - enjoy it while you can while it is quiet without the bigger kiddos. My house is nice and peaceful right now as well due to my son being gone to his mother's back home in Arkansas for 2 weeks and my daughter being in Florida for the next month or so. Even though I am working full-time every day, it sure has been nice to come home to a clean and quiet house each evening and to some alone time with the hubby. :o) Great pictures as always and I don't see anything wrong with them - and think they are clear as a bell now. Have a great rest of the week darlin! :o)

Okay...honesty check. When you posted all that stuff about Erin I was thinking...What? I don't get it? KRs pictures are totally insane and I don't get why she wants them to look like Erin. I was seriously confused. I have to say that I can totally tell that these are inspired by what she taught you. They are amazing. I love them so much. I get it now.

Aw, Nellie, you've been through some life-changing moments these last few weeks. Maybe your brain needs this down time to chill and process. Nothing wrong with chillin'!!! (A little chocolate does a body good too!) :)

All looks great!!!
Posted by: Kimberly | June 22, 2010 at 04:23 PM
Enjoy that relaxation!! You have to take it when you can....I was reading the post and thinking to myself how amazing and crisp and clear your photos are and then you asked the question! So, yes, I would say they are beautiful and not blurry at all....but then again, I never think of your photos as blurry or fuzzy!!
Posted by: annie | June 22, 2010 at 06:31 PM
I happy to your readers for helping you fix the problem. No problems viewing the pictures.
Enjoy the lazy days of summer. You don't get to do that much.

Don't feel guilty lazing around, everyone should do it sometime! And your pics are no longer pixelated ;-)
they look great as usual.
Posted by: Sylvia | June 23, 2010 at 05:22 AM
The photos are back to looking wonderfully crisp and clean again. No more of that jagged, distorted look. Thank you. I can't believe how much older Annie looks in that first photograph, wow. Enjoy your relaxing pace while you can, and don't feel guilty about it.

I LOVE Lazy Days---they are so few of them around my house!
No fuzzy photos here

The pictures look great... can you share what you did to fix the issue?
Posted by: Lacey | June 23, 2010 at 07:13 AM
Yesterday I had the same kind of day, without pictures. I didn't shower till after noon, when I ate, because I remember I hadn't ate. And then I found some creative juices and scrapbooked all afternoon. It was awesome.
Posted by: Kelli | June 23, 2010 at 07:43 AM
Same thing here---it is 6:30 PM and I still have not showered for the day---throw a baseball cap on and no one would know the difference!!! HA!!!
