  Things are kind of crazy around here right now, so I don’t have much brain power to put towards my photography.  I’m not feeling creative, and since E4 is close and doesn’t move away, she makes the easiest subject.

  E4 looks so tiny sitting in the highchair! Still learning with the camera…  The depth of field on the old one was never really that small, so I could get away with not having the right focus point.  Even if I was off a bit, it would be sharp through much of the field.  […]

  We took a field trip with K’s parents to the Mt. St. Helens Visitor’s Center just off of I-5 in Washington.  It was great!  The kids had a great time- we watched a short film about the 1980 eruption, then we looked through several exhibits they had and walked through a model of a volcano. Outside of the center […]

  I think I figured out how to make the picture a link so that it can be viewed larger.  Hopefully I did it right, and if you click on the picture you’ll get a separate window to the 800×600 size picture at Imageevent.  It only took me 115 posts or so. E2 has always been a […]

  We had an exciting storm here, and I don’t know if it was the barometric pressure or what, but the kids were bouncing off of the walls.  After the rain came down in sheets, it started hailing and the kids wanted to go out in it.  E1 and E2 didn’t stay out- after getting […]

  E4 is finally old enough to ride on my back in the Ergo.  It’s so nice and I can get so much more done.  She looks a bit apathetic about it in the picture because she was getting sleepy, but she really does seem to love it.

  It was a good day.  We went out to lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory, where for the first time in years (ever?) the wait staff sang to me and I got a free dessert, since E2 decided to share with them that it was my birthday.  I hadn’t thought of telling him not to say […]

  Since we were all together, we celebrated my and my mother-in-law’s birthdays on Saturday with brownies and oatmeal cookies.  My in-laws gave me a dozen gorgeous long stem roses.
