Legos

Emily loves her some Legos. She gets that from her daddy. Along with a whole lotta other geeky stuff.

A couple months back we showed her some Lego shots on Flickr ….. it was love at first sight.

She had her Legos out playing the other day and decided to hold her own little shoot.

She and David had another “photo shoot” last night and as soon as they go through them I’ll share those as well.

The Happenings Around Here & We Got a New Toy

We have been one busy little family these past few weeks ……… run, run, run ………. I feel like that is all we have done since returning from vacation.

I did have motives behind last week though ………. run the girls crazy …….. so maybe, just maybe they would quit fighting. Yeah, that didn’t work. Just threw a super tired [and grumpy] momma into the mix. HA!

  • Eclipse is awesome. David is gonna take me to see it again. Team Edward.
  • We met up with Jennifer again. I think the girls are ready to pack up and move closer to her family.
  • We went to see Toy Story 3 today. It was sad. I cried. A lot.
  • We went to the public pool last week. [And will be joining the swim club next year.] HA!
  • I took Julie’s senior pictures last week. Will post soon. I have 5/6 more seniors scheduled.
  • I get to go practice on another little newborn this week. SO excited.
  • I came to the realization last week that some people are just ridiculously crazy.
  • We had a nice cool break last week with temps in the low 80’s. It’s gone now and back to being hot.
  • We are going to take it slow this week with only 2 things planned. Dentist appointments and a sleepover.

We got a new toy! We upgraded to a Nikon D90………love it……… Still a little scared of it [lots to learn] but ohmygoodness it takes amazing pictures. The best part about it …. the 50mm now will auto focus. [must manually do it on the D40] And I have a new found love of little bitty creatures. Wow.They are amazing. I used to just shoo them away, but now I run in to get the camera.

The girls will get a little break from the camera. I’m sure they will be pleased to know that I’m now chasing after critters instead of them. Until Thursday at least.
