Books

My little girl LOVES books. I love books, so seeing her reading gets me pretty excited! Here are a couple pictures from today's trip to the library.

Picking out her books

Reading in the car on the way home

Heading down the slide

It's hard to get a picture of a moving subject, but when you do, some of the shots are just classic. I've gotten a few of kids going down playground slides and wanted to share them. Remember when we used to get a thrill (whether happiness or fear) from going down them?

Sliding Glass Doors

They're so much fun for little kids. And fun for me to watch, too!

Em's New Backpack

The diaper bag was starting to fall apart, so when I saw this adorable backpack at The Children's Place (and on sale!) I knew I wanted to get it.

It's a little big, but that just means it will fit her for a long time, right?

Splash!

Just got back from a great vacation with a darker tan and over 1000 pictures to edit. As I was looking through them, this one jumped right to the front of the editing line.  I'm sure I will be posting more in the coming days, but for now, enjoy this preview.

My niece was splashing grandpa with the pool noodle and it splashed her right back in the face. Talk about karma =)

Because I like to make people hungry...

I LOVE to take pictures of food. I think I inherited this trait from my mother =) I also love potluck BBQ's.

My New Lens

Just got a macro lens today and I've been having lots of fun with it. Here are a few of the pictures I took around the house.

Spiders in the roses in the backyard.

Some ants fight for survival in my neighbor's yard (where the sprinklers are on full-force)

The remnants of our sad garden.
