Needless to say, the last few weeks have been extremely busy. And when we weren't busy, we were too tired to do much (which includes pulling out the camera). However, the camera did make an appearence every now and then and so I have something to show for our time. A quick recap:
At hotel on our way to Memphis. We had gotten out of the pool and after a chilly walk back to our room, I decided to warm up in the tub with Katelynn. Shortly thereafter, the rest of the crew had the mistaken impression that they were invited. Anything for a little family time, right?
The house where we stayed was a kids dreamland -- a puppy, a trampoline, and LOTS and LOTS of toys. All day long the kids would ask if they could "go back to the big house."
And this is classic -- Levi was sitting on the porch watching Alaina jump on the trampoline. This was his reaction to a really high jump:
A few times I got the camera out for the sole purpose of working on nailing exposure (working in manual mode). Sometimes I got it, sometimes I didn't. Anyone want to give me a great tutorial on when to use matrix metering and when to use spot metering?
One morning I woke up early and decided to take a walk through the neighborhood. Grabbed my camera on the way out -- so glad I did. It is really nice to take photos of subjects that don't move or make silly faces.
And then one morning Katelynn decided that she should learn to roll over. Glad she didn't roll too far!
Alrighty...I have more but I am on the way out the door for most of the day. Once a year shopping I call it. More pictures tomorrow!
Okay that last photo of Katelynn is hilarious! good stuff :)

Oh my word - what fun photos - not sure which one I like most! Look at Kaitlyn - looks dangerous - guess she's bound to the floor from now on instead of on couches! Hope you have great luck shopping!
