Oh what a tangled web...

My husband and I set off this morning in search of spider webs.  Here are a few of the cool ones that show the handy-work of the amazing arachnids in our neighborhood...

 

 

On this last one I added a bit of fun color for a Halloween feel : )

Russell....Six months old

Russell is growing like crazy.  Here are some super cute shots from his six month shoot.  The rumor was that Russell could put himself into a sitting position and had done it only once before.  Amazingly, while we were doing the shoot this little cutie performed on command.  He not only put himself into a full sitting position, but was able to sit for quite a while before he toppled over.  This very persistent little smiley guy is super strong and sure knows how to turn on the charm when my camera comes out.  Love it!
To see the rest of the shoot from this little sweetie, please check out his slideshow at:  www.vimeo.com/lisaodonnell

This next picture shows Russell's quizzical look : )

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar visited my yard today...

“On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon...

That night he had a stomach ache.”
