Playing with My New Toy

I took some pictures of our boys and some of their friends the other day. They were playing in a tree and jumping to the zip line.

I have yet to feel confident in the whole post processing part of photograpy. My goal is to figure it out (soon) in order to enhance the pictures.

New Camera!

Well, we got our new digital camera and lenses! Actually, the second lens is on back order and won't be here until Thursday, so I'm playing around with the (heavy) zoom lens! I love the soft evening spring light as the sun goes down, and it's behind the kids. It seems to give such a soft glow.

My sweet high school friend, Richelle (and her husband Tim), had their first baby, a little girl, Lili Katherine about four weeks ago. I will have the privilege of meeting her and taking some pictures of her this Friday. This is great practice for me and a gift all new mommy's love-can't get enough pictures of your first sweet bundle of joy!

Gavin's Growin' and Climbin'

Gavin is ten months now and is still crawling around, no interest in walking to me while holding my hands, but zooms around the house in his walker. He's climbing the stairs and has somewhat attempted to crawl down feet first on his belly. I'm looking forward to him walking though, if he keeps the track record of his brothers, they all crawled 4 months before walking. That would put him walking in April, around his birthday! :)
