Stop! Hamper time!

February 14, 2009

Last weekend we decided to take some photos of G-Man playing around in his hamper.  We were able to fire off a few frames but it wasn’t long before he had enough of that game.

I’ve been playing around with a couple of post processing techniques.  I’m not sure what I like yet.  I’ve had the idea that I need to start to define some type of style, to give a certain look to my photos that make them distinctly my own.  The Kaiser’s come to mind…they have a unique look to their photos that make them unmistakably theirs.  Eh, who am I kidding.  I’m still happy with photos I take that don’t suck.  Here are a couple more of our boy.

We liked this one so much I decided to use it for the blog header.

We’re having a heat wave

February 8, 2009

We had beautiful weather here in the Midwest this weekend.  OK, beautiful is always relative…but any time we get upper 40’s and lower 50’s in early February we’ll take it.  G-money spent a lot of time outside this weekend enjoying the sun.  It definitely put us in the mood for Spring.

Here he’s spending some time with grandma out on the driveway.  He’s only bundled up in his snowsuit because he just got back from a 3 mile walk around the neighborhood with mom and dad.

So it was momma’s birthday on Saturday, and it’s grandma’s birthday today!  Happy birthday grandma!  We took some photos this weekend to give grandma as a gift.

Here’s the world’s cutest lumberjack, in a hat specially made by grandma.  Grandma always makes the best hats…I really think she should start selling them on etsy.

Perfect fingers and toes.

Seepy seepy time

Mommy and daddy (mommy especially) are so thrilled our buddy boy slept through the night last night!  He went to bed at his normal bedtime, around 7:30, and didn’t wake up until 6:45 the next morning.  Of course, momma didn’t sleep much past 2 am since she was anticipating his waking up…the same way he had done every night since August of aught eight.  Hopefully he does just as well tonight!  We’re so proud of you G Money!

Our New Baby!

January 24, 2009

Our new baby is born!  (the blog, that is).  And thanks for visiting.  I’m resisting the temptation to write a life story here in this first post, document my goals and visions for the blog, describe our plans and aspirations for the future…but then I wouldn’t have anything to look forward to blogging about.  So instead, I’ll keep it simple.  Here’s a photo of our fine baby boy.  We took this photo last weekend with the thought of using this in the header for the blog.  I’m still not happy with the blog theme I came up with, but it’s good enough for getting started.
