I took a few pics (try 50) of K today to practice some new things I’ve learned about using my camera lately and bokeh and lighting and all that. (more on that later). I bribed her with chocolate. Works EVERY time! (well, except with potty training…) And yes, there are more pics of her on…
Having a Daughter
Sometimes I just stop and marvel at the fact that I have a daughter. There was a time when I just wasn’t so sure. Although when I found out I was pregnant with her I kinda had a feeling. But I didn’t want to get my hopes up… you know? I find such joy…
Play time
I got my big girl camera out today. It felt so nice to caress its black plastic again and adjust settings and click the pretty silver button. Oh my. Anyway, K and I decided to redecorate Dora’s casa and then G crashed our party. So I took some pictures. And now my Nikon isn’t nearly…
Nap Time
I walk up to her in the midst of her playing and say, “Katie babe, it’s time for sleeping”. I expect the wailing and it comes quickly. I’m not sure she hears me as I tell her we can read a story first. Instead she over powers me with her voice, hollering, “but I want…
These Hands
Every night I lie down with Katie in her bed, as she settles in for sleep. We read a book or two {she loves Goodnight Gorilla and Birthday Monsters}, say prayers and then we always sing at least one round of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. And she sings it with gusto, let me tell you. The…
Things were going along fine…
I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good. And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute. Even when she…
Vacation, all I ever wanted… & MEM
I’m currently still recovering from my vacation hangover. DUDE. It’s like I drank the whole ocean and it was spiked. With bad rum. But it’s all good because my MOST awesome husband ever let me take a much needed nap today and I still got the laundry done and put away. I have a lot…
About this photography thing…
I grabbed my camera the other morning after sitting on the back porch with my coffee. K came through the door to join me and I noticed how beautiful her eyes shone in the morning light as she approached me. I couldn’t resist taking her picture for the bajillionth time. At one point I switched…
If at first you don’t succeed…
We were outside the other day, blowing bubbles and making chalk drawings (see previous post) and I had the idea to try to do one of THOSE pics. You know like the ones where someone draws a scene with the chalk and then puts a kid in it? Yeah, that. And I just want to…
The Bob
On Saturday afternoon she looked like this: And then by Sunday afternoon (and Tuesday morning, second photo) she looked like this: She never leaves anything in her hair (that headband only lasted a little bit) and after the “self cut” she gave herself last month that is taking FOREVER to grow back out, I figured…
