new york city









Here is the imagine mosaic that I have seen for years in pictures and always wanted to see in person. Strawberry Fields at West Side between 71st and 74th Streets was dedicated in 1981 in honor of John Lennon (1940-1980), a musician who belonged to the famous Beatles.





Cheers to some of the greatest friends a girl could have in the world! My dear friends Jon and Lauren co-sponsored my most recent trip to New York City. Above are some of my "quick" grabs from my walks throughout the city. Below are my amazing friends. Thank you to both of them for encouraging me to come out and spend some much needed Lo and Pollock time. The city, shopping, cafe coffees, and food were amazing, but they don't even come close to how awesome your friendship is and how thankful I am that I have such good friends in each of you!





And here is Amanda, my first friend ever! We met in Kindergarten, and have stayed friends ever since. Amanda, thank you for driving into the city to have dinner. As always it was great to see you (for we always catch up right where we left off) but it's always way to short. You are one in a Million. Love you!



Here is one of my favorite fountains. It's home is at the Detroit airport which is weird, but a great time out while waiting for your next flight. I always make a stop to chill and watch the playful water jump around.



In fact, the Detroit airport is a pretty funny place. I always have to connect there through this tunnel, and you would never believe you are in an airport when passing through here. The lights are super funky and the music well is soothing and trippie all at the same time. It is pretty funny scene at 8 am before a coffee. The first time I went though it I giggled the whole way, for it was like I was in a movie.
There was a worker this trip who was snapping his fingers and dancing while he walked through. It is a scene that you must check out on your next lay over in D town!

eli



Mr. Eli was my smile project last week. It took him a while to get comfy, but with a little patience I captured some of his great smiles. No worries Shannon, we got him! Thanks for the fun afternoon in the sun!









luke time





Crazy Luke! Good to see you dude. Boy, do you know how to have a fun bath. It was so good to see you and your parents last week. You are growing so big, I can hardly believe it's you in that big body! It seems like yesterday you were that wrinkly new born. How time flies!
Wendy and Tim, it was awesome to see you as usual. Thank you for all your love, support, and wine! You rule. Love you, Em





And nothing like having a good blankie rub before bedtime! Good work Luke!

Happy happy day to a happy happy baby! Julianna, not only are you adorable, but when you smile you light up the room. Your double finger sucking action cracks me up! Thank you for sharing your afternoon with me, your Mom, and your Grandma. It was a joy to see all of you and to have an afternoon together. Can't wait to see you walking next time!!! Happy day, Em

happy turkey day!!!

Congrats to my Dad on shooting a turkey this week! Out of the love of my two favorite men I joined my husband and Dad on a turkey hunt this last week. I know ladies, it sounds crazy ... but joining them in what they love to do was fun. It took loads of patience, but we saw lots of turkeys, deer, and had some great laughs.
Thanks for the fun guys. Love you, GOBBLE GOBBLE!

happy happy joy joy!



It is finally happening! SPRING IS HERE! Dude, it's been a long winter and this morning I was so pleased to look out my window to see actual flowers popping up from their cold slumber! I don't even know what kind of flowers they are, but they are beautiful and I am totally pumped!



Finally the "green" is pushing it's way out. Thank you sun for your warm return. Your warm time has been missed and I can't wait for your summer rays to heat this place up! Bring on the bar-b-que's, pool time, and great photo shoots without snowmobile suits and eskimo hats!



This little piece of green in the yard made my day! It's the little things!



Happy Spring to everyone!
