P52 - Week 4

Week four already! I think this is my record for sticking with a new year's resolution! A few of you sound like you may want to join in the photography fun? If so, I am getting my theme list from DPS, found here. They also have very informative articles. This week's theme is: TIRED.

1/100s, f/5.6, ISO 400

Tired of winter, gray skies, rain (we have had a break from it this week - yay), socks, coats, and the list goes on (Aubrey may just be tired of me taking her picture). Perhaps Punxsutawney Phil will have good news for us this year!

P52- Week 3

Theme for the week: MACRO (photography of very small objects). I don't technically have the proper equipment for macro photography, like a lens that can show you the hair of a fly. Kinda creeped out by just seeing them far away, no need to see them close up.

Here's something not as small, but much more charming . . .atleast on film (Aubrey's baby doll can be a bit chatty).

1/40s, f/4, ISO 400

And since it's Valentine-like, makes me think of chocolate. I can't wait to make (and hopefully share) these little babies!

P52- Week 2

The theme is: Breakfast

On the menu? Waffles.

1/6 s, f/4, ISO 400

Makes 'em strong.

1/8 s, f/4, ISO 400

Project 52

One of my New Year's resolutions is to work on my photo skills. Some very dedicated and disciplined people (unlike myself) are doing a Project 365 - taking a photo everyday. That goal is much too lofty for me, but I can do a photo a week (hence the title).

This week's theme is: COLD



Snow pics would have fit this theme so much better, but this is the cold we know so well. While out, Sam asked if I could take the rain away. Wish I could!

Need More Eggnog!

Christmas was good. We ate candy for breakfast, stayed in our pajamas all day, and played.

A few of my favorite moments from last week:

1. Sam waking up around 3 am and calling out, "Mom, I'm tired. Need more eggnog!" (see picture #3)
2. While picking through the tub of Jelly Bellies, we all decided that Margarita was the worst flavor. All of us except Sam. It doesn't sound good when a 2 year old asks for a Margarita.
3. It snowed a tiny bit, so we all bundled up to play in it. Aubrey and Chad attempted to sled down our hill, leaving a trail of mud in the grass. Sam was too busy eating the snow, and with his eagerness, he almost ate a tree branch as well.
4. Chad explaining to me that he is energy efficient. He needs very little sleep to have lots of energy. I guess that's why we are getting a tax deduction for him this year!
5. Dressing up Aubrey in a candy cane outfit. She's like the doll I always wanted.
