AE | The Weekend Lens

Good Monday Morning Ali,
I always love your weekend in the lens photos. So nice to see you outside with the kids and the dog all on your own, you are brave. I enjoyed seeing the outdoor pictures since we just got snow again this weekend. So many snow pictures are filling up my project life so I made sure not to capture any this weekend. What fun Simon must have had at school for Dr.Suess birthday this week. Loved all the pictures.
Was this at a park or just some walking trails nearby, it looks wonderful and the perfect place to take kids on an adventure.

I'm loving the one word descriptions! Thanks for sharing your fun weekend.

Good Morning to you and your loved ones!
I just love your photos and that you share those little details of your life with us through pictures and short blips of info. It makes ME nostalgic... these are memories in the making.

Random techy question:

I was looking through some of your old posts (Scrapbooking with your computer)and was wondering:

1. Have you started using a software program to organize your digital files or do you still use your folder structure? I'm in the process of trying to organize my oodles of stuff I've downloaded and keep downloading and my head is spinning.

2. What external hard drive(s) do you use that you've found to work for you?

Have a great Monday!

I'm full of questions today.

Do you mind sharing what camera and lens you took these photos with? :)

I love the photos, Ali! And there are so many with Lily! I love that! It looks like you all had a fun weekend. It is hard having the kids all on your own. I'm glad you were able to get out and enjoy outside together. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! ~Jen

Looks like the making of a fabulous mini book!

Friday was March 4th, the only date that is a sentence, a directive really - March forth!. I have been calling it VERB DAY for several years and we try to do active things that day. Looks like you had a whole verby weekend.

Observing and Driving HAVE to make it onto your walls somehow. They are priceless!!

Bought your class last week when it was up. I'm loving it! Making my own album with your class for an upcoming trip to Key West (using my own stash). Can't wait to have it done and packed away for the trip later this month.

LOVE the picture of Anna and Lily!

hey, Ali i was wondering how long the videos etc. are available to watch once i purchase the mini book class? thanks julie

i love dr. seuss day at our school. i was the school photographer that day and i really enjoyed capturing all the dr. seuss activities that went on in every classroom. i would love to see a more detailed photographed of the photos you have hanging in the "chasing" picture. i have always enjoyed seeing how you have your pictures displayed in your home. thank you for a lovely post and have a great day.

I love the way you capture life!

Dear Ali,
I too am glad for the extra TSA training in some airports that help with autistic children. My husband lost his job as a computer scientist and took the only job he could get 7 years ago. He is a screener (over qualified) at our local airport. TSA screeners get a lot of abuse (like some wait staff at restaurants) for things they cannot control. I encourage readers to be kind to them too as they have specific rules they have to follow or they are fired or docked in pay. Thanks

Those kiddo's are just TOO cute...looks like a magical weekend to me!!!!!

Looks like it was fun for everybody Ali
Have a great week

Hi Ali,

Your weekend sounded just lovely, especially the hiking. It's been so cold (and snowy!) here in Chicago; I cannot wait to get outside again!
Quick question regarding the picture where Anna is "watching" - where did you get the small table & chair (with white top) set? I am looking for one for my son (who is Anna's age). I'd appreciate any information you can give me on it.
Tahnks! Have a wonderful week!

Funny, no matter what our life situation, some times w/o spouse are for staying in and other times I find I'm totally on the go.

Love that determined stride of your little blond hiker. I can imagine Simon more as a 'flaneur'. ;)

Thanks so much for sharing your weekend!

Love the outdoor pictures. It makes me homesick for the greener colours and slightly warmer climates of the west coast than the way below freezing that we have here in Alberta Canada! It's been a long time since we've been able to go out hiking!
And it's so fun to see Anna in on all the action!
