A new canvas to "paint" on . . .

Brandon decided to experiment with a marker this afternoon and just about scared me to death when he came inside! It was just too funny!

Flower Power

I practiced some more with the camera tonight and was pretty pleased with the results. I have been working on macro photography (really, really, really close) and thought I'd try it out on some flowers we bought to brighten our porch. I don't mean to brag, but then again, I've posted them here for all to see! The best part is that these are all straight out of the camera, with a little sharpening for the web. By the way, check out the water droplets!

I'm 3 and I'm Free!

When Brandon turned two, it was pretty evident that he loved to be outside and especially to ride his trike. We were quite surprised when we found him one day on his friend's 12" bike with training wheels pedaling around like he had done it forever. This "passion" he has had with the bike has continued. He convinced Wally to take off the training wheels last fall and learned how to ride a "two-wheeler" just after he turned 3. His balance was great but the only problem was that he couldn't get the coordination down to start by himself. We realized later that he just needed to grow another couple of inches and now he rides around like a pro. This kid was born to ride!

Happy Easter!

Popping Grapes

We had lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa while they were here. We sure had a good laugh popping grapes, especially since Grandpa couldn't quite get the technique down! We dubbed Grandma the queen of grape popping.

A Day at the Park

Teamwork is a beautiful thing!
