long gone are the days where we would sit around all weekend.. watching movies and relaxing to our heart's content! friday started with our wedding shoot. we were there all afternoon and night. it was fun, beautiful and tiring. :)
saturday we woke to a tee ball game (only one left for the season!) and then mom and kira helped me pack my kits. sooo thankful. that evening kira had a few friends over for a sleepover.. they got pedicures from my mom and I, watched a movie in the garage on the big screen with the projector and ate SO MUCH JUNK all night long. seriously all night. they didn't fall asleep till 4am. party animals. :)
caleb has decided he wants to learn how to play the piano. :) he taught himself how to play a tune from little einsteins and i was very impressed! i played for 10 years and could never play by ear. then he said, how does the tune from pan's labyrinth go? dude i would looove for him to learn how to play that! anyone know? :) and his mohawk is back for summer. :) even though this is the last week of school, we did it early. and got lots of funny looks from other parents. LOL whatever!
sunday we had a graduation BBQ and raced to another bday party right after. i was pooped. am pooped. and the worst part of it all is.............
i dropped my lens :( so my pictures will suffer for a bit till i get it fixed. waaaaaah. i so wanted this to turn out crisp and clear. she's so lovely. i love that glimpse of her little grubby foot. (jdm- i was sooo giddy to see that this dress still fits her! i thought it didn't and kira put her in it and i was so happy! she's totally wearing it everyday now! haha)
I've been trying to decide which lens to get- the 50mm 1.4 or the 85 1.8. Have you used both? What do you think?
Lenses. They are so addictive. Worse than shoes for me.

WOW.

Love that first shot! Beautiful!
So sorry about your lens. Major bummer.
And, love the pathway with little E......I'm guessing that was with the 17-55mm?

E is the cutest. Love how her one cheek is sucked in and she is kind giving a hitch hiker thumb. So cute

Hi Jamie! Love all the pictures, especially the one with Elsie's grubby foot. You totally inspire me to want to take more pictures. Been caught up with life lately that that camera has gotten the shaft...
Can't wait to see you tomorrow! Your class will be great! :)

When I teach piano, I teach playing by ear (and improv, etc.) along with "traditional" piano, good posture, technique, and reading notation... I just went to a conference this weekend and found some books called My First Piano Adventure--they seem to combine all of it, and it's skewed a bit younger--something to look into, maybe? Go music!!! :-)

Sorry about the lens girl. Hope it gets fixed quickly...and cheaply.
Love your photo watermark. Classy. And fab photo. Hope we get to see the rest.
Love that you and your mom gave the girls pedicures. How fun!!!
