in front of my dad´ s litte shop

I like this photo very much. With our family friends in the countryside. We spent many weekends with them.

I was a daddy´s girl - he was my hero...and my photographer:)

Photobloger in tha making:)

teenager:)

graduation ball

and my first camera - flexareta

I think I know this guy:) - 12.5.1989

proud mom:)

Martin is one year old

and my baby girl !

I was grateful for having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for 7 years ...and then was working only part time . I still think that was my most important job - biggest challenge and a fantastic reward:) And looking back - the most important job in my life.

In my mother´s arms

Wow!What a ride!

Many happy returns, and welcome to the half century club!

Many happy returns, Marie. You're exactly one day younger than my sister, only she wouldn't have made such a charming post. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your birthday and wish you much joy and happiness in the next fifty years.
