Day 38 - August 13, 2010

Ahhh, some days. You wish you had your Canon right there in your hand, but instead, are stuck with your phone's camera. But hey, at least I had some type of camera!

Our daredevil. I heard thumping from his room. Go upstairs to find the door locked & our poor Lab stuck in the room with him. When I tell him it's time for a nap, he climbs on my old rocking chair and then up onto the top of his dresser. He looks mighty pleased with himself. Then he threatens to jump. Only it's not a threat for him, but a big fun game. When I tell him no, it dawns on me... the thumping. Oh boy. "Did you jump down from there before?" And his reply? "YES!", pleased as punch with himself.

Boyhood...

Day 37 - August 12, 2010

First, I am so annoyed. I missed yesterday. :( It was such a crazy busy day and passed in a blur. By the time the evening rolled around, my brain was mush. I didn't even think of my camera once! (Sooooo weird for me!)

So, today, we just had a fun and silly "photo shoot". Ava was Logan's pet and he was dragging her around... Then we did close ups... "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup."

Since I missed yesterday, two for today, SOOC!

Day 35 - August 10. 2010

Dirt & chalk lemonade...

Day 34 - August 9, 2010

Everyone that knows Logan knows that the boy lives to get dirty...

Day 33 - August 8, 2010

I did a photo shoot for friends of Lauren's today. Their daughter is just incredibly cute, so it was quite easy to have fun and take a ton of pictures. I just love this one - her expression is too adorable for words.

Day 32 - August 7, 2010

A trip to Great-Grandma's house is always an event. Our little ducks love the hill in her back yard. Yesterday it was even better, as Uncle T brought planes for them to fly.

Day 31 - August 6, 2010

It was a quiet morning with Logan setting up his train tracks and lining up cars. The sisters were still sleeping and I was curled up with my nook. Watching him, I just couldn't help thinking how sweet he was. What better moment to capture than one like that? So I quietly went to my desk, got my camera, and sat back down without him noticing.

Day 30 - August 5, 2010

Logan and I were taking a walk this afternoon and saw two critters. One was dead (and quite freaky looking - it was an Easter Cicada Killer wasp) and the other was an injured bumble bee. Only had my phone on me, so bare with the not so crisp imagery.

Here's our injured friend, whom we moved off the sidewalk. He graciously climbed onto a stick and we set him aside next to a tree.

And now the scary looking wasp... Apparently, despite looking pretty darn fearsome at nearly 2" long, they aren't aggressive to humans and will fly away when swatted at. Only the female (shown here) has a stinger. Oh, and yes, as their name implies, they like a nice cicada for dinner.

Day 29 - August 4, 2010

Nearly forgot to take a picture today, so did a quick snap of the baby watermelon growing in our garden...

Day 28 - August 3, 2010

Ava had just jumped off the wall and Logan wanted to follow...

Day 27 - August 2, 2010

Quiet moment of play...

Day 26 - August 1, 2010

Family day at a local playground. I took many shots, but this one just gives me a big smile.

Day 25 - July 31, 2010

Playing ball with his sisters, I caught this as he was looking up at them while reaching for the ball. Love the look on his face.
