[jkfandel]

You are DEFINATELY BACK. Needed a giggle this afternoon and you came through for me. Glad to see you back. Have a great night!!

 

[spiritsim]

I had SF when I was 18 left me with a heart murmer (very common for this to happen) Hope your peanut doesn't have problems but be sure to have it checked out. Not trying to scare you just want you to be prepared.

 

[spiritsim]

WOW took me all day to get through this but I finished Of course I got side tracked a few times.....

 

[Pixiedust530]

So my boys and their Marlins baseball game.. UGH! they won the one game to go on to the next. talk about a nail biting CRAZY game! My Matt was the catcher!! he did an amazing job and i am so proud of him, i was PROUD of ALL the boys. we held them for 0-0 in the 5th. First time in the league's history we have to go to the international little game rules and finish this game! It starts with one out. one strike and a runner on Second.
Got that?
well this lasted another 3 innings!!! Both teams really played their hearts out!!! we did end up losing in the 8th by one. CRAZY game BEST game ever!!!!
Meg was SUPPOSED to have games all last week and this week. Mother nature thought better so they JUST gave us the Championship!!!
weird i know. the boys played but the girls did not.
You know what this means??? SPORTS ARE OVER!!!! for the next month!!!! What am i going to do?!?!?! Then football starts!!!!

Sad to hear that the boys ultimately lost, but it sounds like it was an exciting game and you had fun watching them play. Kind of a bummer about the girls not getting to play. At least they GAVE you the championship.

Then of course our beloved Blackhawks bought home the CUP!!!


I'm probably going to get flamed for saying this....but I just don't get hockey? I guess maybe it's because I've lived in Louisville all my life and we don't have a hockey team. I don't even know what the closest team to me is? Heck...it might be Chicago. Does Indianapolis or nashville have a team? Anyway...I will admit I didn't go look at the hockey pics...just cuz I'm not a fan.

How many of you have been to Chicago? Do you know of Buckingham Fountain???

NOW...I ABSOLUTELY went and checked these pictures out. I love landscape photography and you are GREAT at it. I have been to Chicago ONCE...when I was 13...and that was LOOOOONG ago. I have no idea if I saw this fountain. Anyway...it's beautiful...as are your pics. I know I said above I'm not a hockey fan, but the "Stanley is back" on the building is pretty cool! AWESOME!


As you can see i did a TON of photography this weekend. not including ALL the baseball ones i had to do for the league!!!
So a friend of mine asked if i would do their family portrait. I have been telling people NO forever. I do DO people. i like the landscapes.
Because they are friends. i said yes.
Pray for me,
I do not want to screw this up... I am NOT that good of a photographer to do people's portraits!!!! ugh...

Wayne is this way about photographing people also. He would much prefer to shoot landscape or dogs! I have seen lots of your photography and I am sure you will do a wonderful job. After all...it's not like you don't snap pictures of your 3. I hope you will share the pics after you take them (with the subject's permission of course).


the kids talked me into taking them to the show.
so off we went along with the pig things they got at the Disney store a while ago and 2 Duffy bears:

waiting to get into the theater.

Do you see something there????


Looks like everyone had a super time at the movie...and YES...you totally SCORED with the D~ bag! It looks phenomenal!

as For the Disney front. I hate to say it out loud, it may or may not happen.. with everything going on. we will have to wait and see,
Until next year i will not know for sure.
I will book and i will make payments but may have to cancel it AGAIN!
I won't think like this and i won't have any negativity, just the pure will of YES WE WILL!!!

Sorry to hear that the possibility of having to cancel is even out there. Unfortunately, we all know this a little too well. I hope that everything works out and you are able to go next year. Just Tink Happy Thoughts!

PS...GLAD to see you back on the DIS! We missed you!

 

[jkfandel]

YES A Serendipi D~ bag!!!! I was SO scared to take it out since i haven't scotch guarded it yet!!!!

LOVE YOUR BAG!! I was so surprised at how much larger they are in person and so unbelievably AWESOME! I am deathly afraid of using it too. But it is going to be perfect in the parks, on Halloween Night at MNSSHP. I might even wear a pink shirt and put my hair in pigtails. What a sight that would be. Thanks for the scotchguard reminder. What's with the nose did you put her up to that?

YES WE WILL!!!

Believe

Please give me your HONEST opinions of my pictures PLEASE!!!

OK, I am not a photographer but I believe you are. There was way too much red and not enough Black and Gold (HAHA). You sure caught the emotion in a unbelievable way. They are so clear and well done!!

Beautiful fountain, I have never seen that one it is magnificent. My favorite is number 2 with the blue lights and golden on the statue. Have a good day tomorrow, Good Night.


PS: Where the heck did you find that picture of Belle reading See Jane Run you nut. Sure made me laugh out loud right there at my desk.......

Ok I second it love that blue and gold fountain. Kids look like they are having a grand time at the movies.

 

[Deesknee]

Glad the parade went well. Sorry it was going by so fast! They look great with the cup. Love the building lights!! Sincerely hope you all enjoy it.... 12months goes by quick so enjoy it. 'CAUSE IT'S COMING HOME NEXT YEAR! hahaha. just light hearted teasing. I hope all the fans get to enjoy it. I'm sure with the good hearts held by your team & the organization many charities will benefit from your teams possession of the Stanley Cup! Well done Black Hawks & fans!

 

[disneychic2]

Ok, had to stop looking at the Chicago pics long enough to tell you I LOVE #s 36, 42, 45, 52 and 62 so far. Fantastic. Of course there are lots of other great shots, but those are my favs so far. Now I'm going back to look. Thanks for sharing!

 

[disneychic2]

I fogot #67.

Mo, you have a remarkable eye for composition in your photography! I love the way you frame shots with foliage! And also that you take photos that the average person would never see as photo worthy. You are gifted, my friend. Do not sweat the portraits. Just pretend they're your family. Picture them in their underwear, or with their fingers in their noses. Whatever. You WILL do just fine!

 

[Chicago Mo]

I have a pair of lucky socks too. They are orange and black argyle socks with a purple line running through. The colors of all my favorite teams! I wore them to a number of Orioles games this year and they won them all. Since they are knee highs, there is no way I can wear them over the summer, so I switched to my lucky earrings - which seem to be working just as well.

Lucky Socks AND Earrings!!!! TOO FUNNY!!! Not a huge Baseball fan.. (down to it i am a Sox fan) more of football freak!

We went to see MU last weekend. Dh insists on going to the 3D version, but I'm with you. I don't think there was anything special about it - and the fricking tickets cost $24 for the 2 of us! We also had assigned seats - I've never been to a movie before where we had assigned seats!

I KNOW! why are they so darn expensive?!?!? it's bananas! at first i was a little bummed about the NON-3D. like you it's wasn't special for 3D. It was about 45.00 for the midgets and I. don't even get me started on the popcorn and pop! Usually we go to the matinee. Eh well. live and learn right? The assign seating is pretty cool isn't it? we have it here and i like it. Always pick the first row (middle of the theater) this way i know the kids can see without a 6'2 dad isn't in front of them!

You are a great photographer Mo and you will do just fine with the portraits. You don't have to charge a sitting fee if you don't want to.

you are too kind. YOU my friend an AMAZING painter!!!! I am still amazed by your fleur de lis! I would proudly put that in my home!!!
No i am not going to charge the sitting fee for my first time... I am still nervous about this..

Have a great rest of the day!

You too!!!!

Wow...just caught up on your PTR.

Do you need aspirin?

Wow, that must've taken forever to get through!!!!!! Well, when you're popular...... Glad you're back though, I haven't even been here that long and I missed you making me laugh

Stoooooooooop. I have like 5 followers. with you your mom and Now my girl Jane that makes 8.

You are DEFINATELY BACK. Needed a giggle this afternoon and you came through for me. Glad to see you back. Have a great night!!

i'm here alright.. can't get rid of me that easily.

WOW took me all day to get through this but I finished Of course I got side tracked a few times.....

still need that aspirin? or something a little stronger?

I had SF when I was 18 left me with a heart murmer (very common for this to happen) Hope your peanut doesn't have problems but be sure to have it checked out. Not trying to scare you just want you to be prepared.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! That's scary!!!!! I do believe she had Strep. Apparently i know more then Doctors...

PS...GLAD to see you back on the DIS! We missed you!

awww shucks! thank you!!!

LOVE YOUR BAG!! I was so surprised at how much larger they are in person and so unbelievably AWESOME! I am deathly afraid of using it too. But it is going to be perfect in the parks, on Halloween Night at MNSSHP. I might even wear a pink shirt and put my hair in pigtails. What a sight that would be. Thanks for the scotchguard reminder. What's with the nose did you put her up to that?

My bag is terrific! <-- haven't used that word in a while!
ohh YOU HAVE to send pictures... I HAVE to see that...
Nope I didn't put them up to anything...
i have taught them well

OK, I am not a photographer but I believe you are. There was way too much red and not enough Black and Gold (HAHA). You sure caught the emotion in a unbelievable way. They are so clear and well done!!

thank you... too kind.

Beautiful fountain, I have never seen that one it is magnificent. My favorite is number 2 with the blue lights and golden on the statue. Have a good day tomorrow, Good Night.

thank you!!! Geesh! you guys are GOOD FOR THE EGO!!!

PS: Where the heck did you find that picture of Belle reading See Jane Run you nut. Sure made me laugh out loud right there at my desk.......

Oh my Child... That is Tarzan and Jane....

Ok I second it love that blue and gold fountain. Kids look like they are having a grand time at the movies.

Always!!! My kids are really appreciative over the little things. so i try!

Glad the parade went well. Sorry it was going by so fast! They look great with the cup. Love the building lights!! Sincerely hope you all enjoy it.... 12months goes by quick so enjoy it. 'CAUSE IT'S COMING HOME NEXT YEAR! hahaha. just light hearted teasing. I hope all the fans get to enjoy it. I'm sure with the good hearts held by your team & the organization many charities will benefit from your teams possession of the Stanley Cup! Well done Black Hawks & fans!

OMG it was FLYING! the parade was literally 10 minutes! they were cookin! So my pictures suck. Did you see pictures of Grant Park for the rally??
That cup has been to SEVERAL bars a couple of concerts and who knows where else it's going.. it sure travels here!!! an on duty cop was BUSTED for drinking Champagne out of it.. dork. Light hearted bantering is PERFECTLY acceptable here! Blackhawk fans are a class act. There wasn't any major issues at the parade or the rally.
We shall SEE about next year...
The building lights are really cool they do it for several events! the whole city is crazy. I fit right in..


I have nothing to report at this time!!! you know what i did when i got home yesterday???

NOTHING! ​

Not a darn thing. We even ordered a pizza for dinner. i took the day OFF! Went to sleep earlier then normal just to catch up!
Today is a little different since i have to catch up on my NOTHING day yesterday!
One of my favorites:

[DMGeurts]

Seriously.... I am so mad... I stopped by this morning... Did a huge long post, with my thumbs, no less.... And it's not here! Grrrr.....

In a nut shell... Do not fret about your photography... It is amazing, all of it is! You just need to do what you do naturally, and everything will come together, I just know it.

And the photos of the team eight eh fire truck are my favorite! Can't load the fountain ones on my phone tho...

Love ya... Mean it.

[DMGeurts]

That was... Of the team on the firetruck.... Darn phone...

D~... don't fret. Your post made it to the DISboards...it's just over on MY PTR instead of here on Mo's. I made a comment about it over there. LOL

Mo...skip on over to my PTR and you will see the wonderful things D~ had to say about your photography!

 

[Deesknee]

On my phone so I can't see the pictures well . But I am sure to ck then out when I get on my computer

 

[KatMark]

Your pictures are AWESOME! And I am so happy that our boys brought Lord Stanley home.

 

[spiritsim]

Well sometimes know more than the doctors, of course you spend more time with your kid's and you know them better. Glad she didn't have Scarlet Fever.

 

[Deesknee]

I finally checked out all the pictures from the Hawks parade/rally! That looks like alot of fun! Considering how fast they were going, you got incredible pictures. I too am a sucker when the players look my way. DD probably would faint if some of the players looked at her.
Don't worry about your portrait session coming up. the best portrait my triplets ever had were in their pj's with the sleep buddies. (blankie, teddy etc.) I don't remember you saying how old the family members are. I may have missed it. Sorry if I did. You have a fantastic eye. I'm sure they will come out wonderful. And I agree, I hope they give you permission to post them here so we can all see how great you do!

On my phone so I can't see the pictures well . But I am sure to ck then out when I get on my computer

thanks!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Your pictures are AWESOME! And I am so happy that our boys brought Lord Stanley home.

THANK YOU!!! did you see the picture of the newborn in the cup?!?
wonder where it is going this weekend!

Well sometimes know more than the doctors, of course you spend more time with your kid's and you know them better. Glad she didn't have Scarlet Fever.

Same happened with my Son when he was diagnosed with a learning disability. the one doc just wanted to put him on a ADD med. he does have ADD!!!! Morons!! i just don't think Doctors CARE enough anymore.

I finally checked out all the pictures from the Hawks parade/rally! That looks like alot of fun! Considering how fast they were going, you got incredible pictures.

Yes. They were FLYING past us. this was everyone's complaint! i WAS NOT going to the rally here is why:

LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE!!!

SO needless to say i wasn't going to the rally...

I too am a sucker when the players look my way. DD probably would faint if some of the players looked at her.

Right!?! I think the athletes are way more exciting then seeing actors walking around..
Like this:

I was IN LOVE with Gabe Carimi!!!! he is GONE now. i will miss him DEARLY...
or this:

Gah i love my Bears!!!! win or lose i love them. as any good Chicago Bears fan we have a second favorite team... Which mine would be the STEELERS!

Don't worry about your portrait session coming up. the best portrait my triplets ever had were in their pj's with the sleep buddies. (blankie, teddy etc.) I don't remember you saying how old the family members are. I may have missed it. Sorry if I did. You have a fantastic eye. I'm sure they will come out wonderful. And I agree, I hope they give you permission to post them here so we can all see how great you do!

The kids will be 5-9-12 Thankfully all the kids are awesome and will be fun to photograph. Did i mention.. I am doing an arranged marriage with Meg to one of their boys??? They are really good looking kids!

Also this is the family who wants to go to Disney with us!!


I posted my web site everywhere on Facebook yesterday!!! I received some awesome feedback! now hopefully they will SELL!!! this is part of my Disney trip funds!

I want to say here to ALL MY FAVORITE PEOPLE!!!!

​

Have a safe and happy 4th!!!!
