i'm so happy she is back home with us.
we've been enjoying the rest of the summer together too.
we've been busy busy.
car appointments, ortho appointment tomorrow.
school clothes & supplies shopping done.
swimming at the sonic splash pool and a trip to drytown waterpark last weekend.
it's been fun.

and fun taking photos of her too.

here are the final days of my july photo-a-day joint:

"9 o'clock" was zumba time every saturdays mornings!

 "upside" maiya home from WA

"mirror" school clothes shopping at old navy...

"stranger" in the background at the commissary...

"heart"...they are my 2 lovelies...

"sunshine" at the sonic splash pool by the slide...

she knows the routine...
i tell her it's brush the teeth time
and she sits down by the mirror by our sink area...
yes...she bites sometimes.
ouchy!

you know what i just thought of and noticed about these photos?
well i have been using my iphone for them this whole month.
the one's i actually filter using my apps on my phone seem to post here the right way.
the one's i don't filter/edit using my apps did not angle out so great.
so my solution:  filter and edit using the aviary & filtermania 2 apps, then post.
voila!
a solution to every problemo!


tomorrow is august!
can u believe it?
and i'll be participating in the august photo-a-day challenge.
i'm getting the hang of it and it's become part of my routine & life.
