This is my 13 year old fur baby; Gabby the Chihuahua, aka Gabster Gangster.
She is feisty as all get out and quite the devoted family member.
I love this pic because of her uber cute nose and the way her little lip is a bit cockeyed...so cute!

56/365 ~ This little girl loves to read
Today Katie Starr won a reading award; 2nd highest score in Kindergarten for the Accelerated Reading program.
Picture should have been of me beaming with pride.

55/365 ~ Best Friends
The DD are best friends.
We are so blessed by their bond.
This was what I spotted in the back seat when I picked them up from school today.
So sweet!

53/365 ~ Ingrid, this one if for you!
My sister has a dear friend by the name of Ingrid and the lovely Ingrid is gaga over the mischief man.
She has been hankering for a new photo of him and so I thought this one more than fit the bill.
This was Ethan sitting in the co-pilot seat as he was just about to lift off on his first helicopter ride.
No fear whatsoever...just his usual balls to the wall persona!
This pic is so totally the E-man that I can not look at it without grinning from ear to ear.
Ingrid, I hope that you feel the same way!

52/365 ~ Bravisimo!
I took this at Sea World with my point and shoot.
It is really just a snapshot but I love it nonetheless.
I love the look of enjoyment in my daughter's face as she watched one of the wonderful performances there. Her reaction makes my heart sing!

48/365 ~ Katie and Foofa
This is Katie and her sweet hamster Foofa; named after the Yo Gabba Gabba character.
She shares a more than humble abode with her sister, Butter Noodles who is Ethan's hamster.
Each night the "rats" as my mother calls them, get to play with the DD.
Gabby, the Chihuahua gets into the act as well!
Right after this pic was taken my camera broke and so I will be relying heavily on my Iphone the next few days.
The 365 Project must go on!

46/365 ~ What's for Lunch?
Most days I head down the street from my job to one of my fav haunts in order to eat this salad.
Me thinks that little fact makes it worthy of a "pic of the day" on my 365!

45/365 ~ Aaaay Poppy!
We said that we would not get each other for anything for V-Day, since things are a bit tough right now.
He did not listen!
He said that this "Poppy Petal Print" wristlet screamed "Lori" to him.
He told me that it was vibrant and full of personality just like me.
I love that man!

44/365 ~ These eyes see into my soul
Every day I pray that these beautiful eyes will continue to see the love that flows from mine to hers.
May these eyes continue to see all the beauty that there is in the world and please let these eyes see the loving eyes of her own children some day.
Let there always be light in her world...Amen.

41/365 ~ Baby Love
Katie's best baby is her "Snotty Baby". Her baby's name is quite a long Story but the bottom line is that our Starr has had Snotty Baby since she was a baby in China. Snotty was sent by us in a care package and Katie's foster family brought her new baby with her to our forever day.
Snotty Baby is Katie's sleeping partner and is never far away when Katie is ill; which she is now. Her asthma got the best of her last night and she ended up in the ER. Here are mama and baby; back home and resting happily......together.

40/365 ~ The Daily Battle
Every morning I fight the same battle; the one against the rising, blinding sun as well as the almost as blinding brake lights of the stop and go traffic ahead of me on the interstate.
It is a daily battle that many of us fight and the only thing that makes it better for me is either to play my fav music or engage in conversation with one of my friends or family.

Marc's Uncle Howard has passed away unexpectedly.
No orginal photo from me today; just a message of peace for a man who may finally find some.
Rest in Peace Uncle Howard...

36/365 ~ Bracelet Bonding
In China, Mothers pass on their "Good Luck" jade bracelets to their daughter's when they become adults.
I have been wearing mine for many years and I purchased an identical one for Katie in China, so that she could wear hers until it came time for me to give her mine.
Tonight, which was the evening of our Chinese New Year Celebration, was the first night that Katie was finally able to wear hers.
It finally fit!
She was so proud to be able to wear it.
I love the bond that I have with my little girl, which is symbolized by these beautiful bracelets.

33/365 ~ How They Look
Here is today's assignment for The Joy of Love photography workshop. We had to capture how our family members look.
This is a good representation of how the DD look when they are together.
They are so happy when they are together and share an amazing bond.
They are truly the "Dynamic Duo"

32/365 ~ Catchlights
I am always looking for ways to improve my photography and I found a fun way this month. I am participating in The Joy of Love ; a one month photography workshop where we get daily tutorials and assignments. One part of today's lesson and assignment was to capture the catchlights in one of my love's eyes. I read my assignment last night but left just before the sun rose so as I was driving home, I started racing against the setting sun so I could catch the light in my E-man's eyes. I am pretty good at this, so this was not really tough...just a race against time.
I opened the front door and yelled for Ethan to go by the french doors and I would meet him with my camera....I think he thought I was crazy!! I did get some catch lights though; even with his eyes at half mast.
I am sure my kids think that I am totally nuts...but oh well...it is what it is. I am a woman with a camera and a mission.
