Messin' Around

...with the settings on my camera. Someday, I'd like to to be knowledgable and confident enough to shoot totally in manual, but for now, I'm not there yet.

Aidan is a rather hard subject to catch.

Most of my pictures end up like this.

Probably one out of ten ends up focused.

Thank goodness for digital cameras.

A sleeping Ella presents a challenge.

Depression.

It's snowing outside. Let the crying commence.

I found these pictures from Sukkot weekend so I thought I'd share.

You're so vain

You probably think this post is about you

Don't you, don't you.

Four Months Old

Baby is four months old today, so we had to do our obligatory photo shoot.

Ella wasn't really feeling it today.

So I tried to get a shot of the two of them together. Fail.

She just will NOT smile and laugh while I have the camera.

This was the closest I got to a smile

Then I laid her on her stomach...

...and she'd just roll over.

So these will have to do for now. :-)

Happy Birthday Mother!

I totally have a little over an hour to post this.

I met up with Tom and Janille for lunch (with the kids) and then after that, mom, dad, Kenneth, and Sharon met up with us and we did some shopping. (minus Tom, he had better things to do.) :-)

I guess that's what mom wanted to do for her birthday. Drive for 8 hours, shop, and eat ice cream.

After shopping, we stopped at Leatherby's where I ate the equilivant of a carton of ice cream. Oh yes I did.

Thanks for stopping by, family. I didn't take any pictures though. ::Dies::

Happy Birthday Mom! :-)

Trip Home

Just some scenic photos from the trip back home

Passing by Multnomah Falls, unfortunately, I got the window reflection. :-)

Passing by the tree farms, they harvest these trees to make paper. (so I'm told)

Wedding Preparation

We stayed at Alan and Sandy's (Karisa's parents) house while in Portland and so there was lots of wedding preparation going on and everyone got put to work.
