Three Weeks Off


Round 1 of summer babysitting  2014 is in the books, and Amma and Buppa have three weeks to recuperate before their next stint. Phew! It's fun, but it's busy and tiring.

Last evening, to celebrate the ending of babysitting and the beginning of holidays, we went out for supper followed by a walk in the park. The weather was just about perfect, and I caught my golden lady in golden light.

Below, are the thank you cards that I made for their swimming teachers. Both are composites with a larger photo of the kids superimposed on an interaction with their teachers. This is their third summer of lessons, and their has been a great improvement over the years. They only get two weeks per summer, but they still get better.

We'll be around for the most part during this interval. Perhaps, I can catch up on some pics and vids ... oh ... and blogs visits too.

Wow...I need to check out your blog more often. Loved the photo of your "golden girl" and also the animated water fun (HOW did you do that?) ... also the sweet cards. I'll bet they will be treasured by the swimming teachers.

Great photo cards! And I can imagine you needing a bit of down time before the next set of baby sitting. A couple of weeks I had a girl over together with her parents and I was exhausted at the end! It was only a few hours!

Your wife is so photogenic and you captured her in some great light! What a wonderful idea to do the postcards for the swim instructor. Cute!

I really enjoyed the post about the water park. I don't understand how you did it, but that did not prevent me from smiling at Danica and JJ having such fun.
Please tell Sue that I love her style! Beautiful outfit and a beautiful picture of her.
