Retro Friday is a weekly meme hosted here at Angieville and focuses on reviewing books from the past. This can be an old favorite, an under-the-radar book you think deserves more attention, something woefully out-of-print, etc. Everyone is welcome to join in at any time! So this is a book I've spent a lot of time talking about. Chances are, if you've hung around these parts, you've heard me push it. But I actually read it for the first time way back in the olden days before the blog was, well, what it is now. I read it shortly after it was first published, back in 2007, when I was writing monthly posts, mere collections of mini-reviews. So Song of the Sparrow got shortchanged. I decided to address that situation today. The fun thing is lots of friends have read (and reviewed) it since, and so I was able to trip through their lovely thoughts and remember my own. When I heard about a retelling of Tennyson's " Lady of Shalott ," I was so in. I mean, I'...
These are gorgeous photos (great costumes, too). Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteCute pics. Are these your kids? They are great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteSo totally adorable. And I love love love the last pic!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Really great pics :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. :)
ReplyDeleteKMont, I did not. That honor belongs to DH. He gives good photo. More of his stuff over here.
ReplyDeleteBecky, they are, in fact, mine! Will (5) and Piper (15 months).
Li, grin, thanks! I'm partial to that one as well.
Mandi, I am lucky to have a photographer for a husband. The memories, they are captured.
Sara, hehe.
Adorable!! I seriously need to learn the secret of getting my kids to not run away from the camera...
ReplyDeleteYes, your hubby is a photography genius, but he also has very photogenic subjects. These pictures make me miss you all. Is that your front porch....I love the brick and I need to visit your home in person very soon. Jared has a job interview in Salt Lake tomorrow. Who knows what will come of it. But a girl can dream of moving closer to family.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Will looks like serious Jedi business is afoot in the left one near the bottom.
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, Angie: these are gorgeous and I went to his blog and I was drooling al over his photos. VERY, very talented.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those incredible photographs. Your husband is very talented!
Your children look adorable too - great costumes too.
Love that last picture too. It so atmospheric.
Thanks again for sharing,
All the best,

Jedi + Kiss = ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteJedi kisses are the best! ;)
Did your husband take these? Amazing pics. I love the costumes!!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are cuties. I love the kiss costume. And my husband would heartily approve of the Jedi and that cool picture of him with the glowing lightsaber. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics, Angie! I can't believe how big Piper is already! It seems like just yesterday I was awwwing over her birth photo!
ReplyDeleteBritt, it really is a trick sometimes. My kids just never have a choice!
ReplyDeleteLiz, yup, that's our porch. And it's beginning to be a crime that you've never been here. Interview in Salt Lake, you say? Now wouldn't that be nice...
Allie, oh, believe me, he takes his Jedi business veeery seriously.
Ana, aw, thank you! :)
RK, my pleasure. I'm always fascinated to see what the boy will pick out each year. I imagine next year the girl will want a say as well. :)
Jessie, hehe.
Michelle, he did. He's there for all my photographic needs.
Janicu, since he already had the light-up lightsaber, he was all set to go once we got the robe. I love the atmospheric ones as well.
Christine, I know. I'm flummoxed by this as well. *shakes head*
Those photos are great! The kids look very cute and I hope they had a lot of fun. Tell your son his light saber skills look exceptional.
