Shannon’s Got a New Look……

October 15, 2008 – 2:29 pm

Yes, I’m no longer a blonde, well maybe a dark blonde but not what I’ve been use to for years.  But I LOVE my new color.  So we decided to head out to some abandoned railcars for a mini session of us.  We hiked through a dry gully, tall weeds and walked the track to reach them.  Course when we got there we realized all the cars were makeshift homes so we grabbed a few shots & left. 

I wanted to get inside the cars but I didn’t want to disturb anyone.  We had a lot of fun though!

 I have to admit, since moving to Florida I have been terrible about being consistent in yoga practice.  In fact it’s been nil most of the times.  And I know my posture is getting worse but this confirms it….I must get back to yoga before I turn into a hunchback.  So thanks to my darling husband, I’ve now gotten a swift kick in the pants to get back practicing.

July 4th - family fun in sarasota

July 6, 2008 – 12:58 am

After a day of miniture golf, off shore race boats at the bay and ‘linner’ (that’s lunch/dinner) at Cha Cha Coconuts at St. Armands Circle we headed back over to the bay for fireworks.  It was packed with sailboats, tents, and people lounging on the shore all in anticipation of a great show. 

*and fyi, Victoria & I tied for 1st place in mini golf!!  the guys were speechless.

Yes, hot, sweaty but still feelin’ the love!

We passed the time playing cards and people watching.

Patrick always in his shades…….just like me!

Patrick so cool and laidback

Victoria my little beauty who hates to look directly into the camera.

Victoria being coy

And Matt our ‘3rd’ child who thinks he’s a card shark.

This is what I do when I get bored and need to entertain myself.  Strike a pose.  Course I need to pay attention to Ford more before I do my ‘vogue’!

Shannon goofing off

And yes here’s Ford, never far from his iTouch.

Just before the fireworks began.  Course I took this with my p/s but I love the way the sun set last night.

Hope you all had a great 4th!

Happy Mother’s Day

May 11, 2008 – 9:46 pm

Today has been a great day with my kids.  It’s hard once they’re teens to block time together as a whole family but it’s great on days like today when we can.  I’m so proud of Victoria & Patrick; they’re amazing young adults and I hope they achieve every goal they dream, even when it’s hard work to achieve it.  I think that’s the thing I’ll look back on & know we did a good job raising them; when they don’t give up on their dreams, even if it means, through self discovery that they alter the path some.  As mothers we strive hard to teach them all the little things in life, just to be self sufficient but it’s the other stuff that matters the most.  Things like acceptance, tolerance, kindness, compassion and love are what we really want them to learn from us the most even when we focus more on cleaning their rooms, picking up after themselves, etc.  So to my kids I am honored to be your mother & value your friendships.  And to my own mother, thank you for everything you taught me and I’m glad for the friend you’ve become.

Random Images

April 3, 2008 – 11:18 pm

Here are a few random images from the past couple of weeks. We’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to get any of these snapshots up.

Going over the skyway bridge and Ford & I heading to Orlando for a meeting & then over to West Palm Beach for dinner


This is our very dear friend, Natalie, who lives in Boca Raton. She’s such a doll & we adore her! This is after lunch and a couple of Coronas:-)

This is us at dinner in Ft. Myers. We’d been at a great meeting with several wedding vendors in the area. We had so much fun with Shari Bare & Ed and Myron from CVP Experience. We highly recommend the if you’re looking for a videographer. They are an amazing group & their cinematic videography is a must for every wedding!

And last but not least here are a couple of shots of Shelly & Bob during their visit back to the states from China. Shelly is Ford’s sister and we always enjoy when they have a visit back to the US. We’re anxious to go over and visit them…….they’ve promised a very memorable and exciting holiday. We miss you guys!!
