My daughter turned 4 today! Yesterday we celebrated in a big way, starting with face painting, parachute games, and ended with a dance party and the adults playing Rock Band!



The new owner of one of my all-time favorite baby carriers - the FreeHand Mei Tai! (I used to sell these in our baby sling shop, they did very well!)

Little puppy face…

And her doggy family:

And this cute little Fuchsia girl, with a fuchsia butterfly of course!

It was so much fun that the adults participated in the face painting.


The dragon family:

My shy little princess who hates to be sung “Happy Birthday” too. (She had to recover by hanging out on our deck by herself for 20 minutes.)

And dancing with bubbles is always fun!

Trying to post some different photos today, other than just the typical cute Satori photos.
Finally it was a nice pumpkin patch kinda day. No rain, plenty of sun, some clouds (photographers love clouds), and a great time at our FAVORITE pumpkin patch!


Usually I’m stuck walking around with 2 cameras, one with a very LONG, HEAVY lens, with my Shootsac, but I got to go down the inflatable slide with Tori and David ended up with the heavy stuff for a while. Here he is having fun shooting Satori.

Colorado weather is getting cooold and rainy, it’s that time of year. We braved it anyway, and spent the afternoon at Chatfield’s Botanical Garden’s pumpkin patch! Amidst all of Satori’s favorite friends, everyone had fun getting cupcake frosting all over their faces!


Due to the inclement weather, I only could get a few closeups, and will have to try my luck at scenic “pumpkin patch” pictures next weekend!





And in these parting photos, you may be able to get a sense of how cold, muddy and freezing cold the day was!


Today I had the pleasure of hanging out with Beshaal at Katmandu, the Nepalese restaurant here in Ned, which my family loves to dine at.
Beshaal was a little shy at first, but with the help of his older brother, we managed to capture a few images of him in his family restaurant.


and the ladies obliged to pose for a few!
