Mamatography Week 10

This post is part of Mamatography 2012, a project hosted by Diary of a First Child. The goal is to document the entire year of 2012 in photos. Paired with my participation in fellow Coast Guard Wife Courtney Kirkland's 52 Faces project and her Move to Manual series, I am definitely learning more about my camera, my photos, & my kids, and I'll have plenty of great photos to document 2012.

Joseph, asleep at the park on one of the gorgeous days this past week.

 Then littering the living room with crackers on one of the rainy days

 Because my sewing machine is in the shop for servicing, I started a springtime wreath project

I worked on my wreath project the next day while the kids jammed out with the instruments & played.

Thursday, we enjoyed seeing daddy for a day during a port-call near home. 

This is Joseph enjoying the play place at our local mall. He loves it there! 

 Friday found us without daddy (had to stand the middle day of duty on the boat in Portland) but enjoying story time in York, where they had their "Spring Cleaning" playthings out in the playhouse.

"I am the mommy, and it is my job to take care of you, my sweethearts" said Abbey to Joseph and the other children while she did a million loads of play laundry (very authentic!) 

Didn't get a picture of Abbey or Joseph on Saturday, because we were super busy all day (went to see the Lorax and then attended a birthday party at the bowling alley!) but here is Abbey being a monkey in the tree that the smaller kids like to climb at one of our neighborhood parks.
And reading the Sunday comics in the car on the way to drop daddy back off at the Coast Guard Cutter to finish their patrol. It was lovely to see him for a couple of days and we look forward to having him back!
