Day 115

I was playing with my speedlite while Little Miss was having breakfast.  Can you believe I have had this speedlite for over a year, and I am just now learning that the darn thing swivels?  I knew it pointed up and down, but never knew it swiveled!  Forgive my novice photography ignorance!

Day 114

Ok, I now have my correct SD card with me today!  Sorry my posts are going to be a bit wonky today!

Here I was showing off my new remote to a co-worker.  It was a Christmas present.  Yay!  I just wish I would have pointed it at something a bit more interesting, but alas, this was the only pic I took this day!

Day 113

I love this little boy sooooo much!!!  Crazy hair and all!

Everybody's doing it!  So I did too!  Merry Christmas!

Aren't these the cutest shoes ever?  They were her brother's, then we lent them to another family to enjoy last year, and then they came back to us for Allison to wear!  I love them!

Just to prove that this little girl is not always smiling!

Day 86

Rockin' Baby!

Day 85

Why did I pick this photo?  Why, when I took so many that day, the actual day of Michael's birthday?  Well, because it was unique.  It was one of those photos, that when I looked at it, I thought, "how the heck did that happen?"  The pictures before and after this one were fine.  So why not?

Day 84

I guess I have been watching the sky often now that I have been learning more about photography, and seeing some professional photos of skies.  This morning the clouds were amazing!

Day 83

Today we celebrated Michael's 5th birthday with family.  He had a great time! 

Mommy and MJ

Ok, so I know a lot of these pictures are of Allie.  But she is the one that hangs out with mommy most of the day!  Michael is too busy to get his picture taken!

She loves this toy!

Day 81

Baby girl, crawling...

...and just looking cute!



Day 80

Sights of Thanksgiving.  My wonderful sister made the mushrooms, and I was lazy with the desserts, and bought them at the store.  But they were still tasty!  My  hubby deep-fried the turkey, as usual.  Yum!

Day 79

I was ordering MJ's birthday cake, and I saw these.  I couldn't resist, and bought them for our guests for Thanksgiving.
