Exciting Things!!

Some exciting things are happening for me on this photography path!  I got a coupon in the mail for a free photo book so I figured...heck why not order a portfolio!  Something that is finished and professional and i can keep in my camera bag.  So it came today....I loves!

and in other WAY more exciting news...a golden box has been added to my home.  A golden box of wonder.  A very fancy shmancy golden box.  Can I get a woot woot for a new 35mm f/1.8 lens?!  My first prime lens and i think i'm in love.  It's so little, and yet...so great!

Fall has begun!

Judging from all of the blogs and facebook status updates that i've read this week, FALL has begun across the country!  It's just like one day we were groaning and moaning that we were tired of the 90 degree heat, and then BAM!  It's 65 degrees, windy and overcast and you have 3.5 seconds to pull out your fall wardrobe and get it hung up.  The family and I have a little walk that we have taken a couple of times recently that goes down our little street, down a little hill, and ends with a hopeful visit to a pony.  It makes my daughter's day when that pony is outside.  So I got brave and took both children by myself today, which is a task with only a single stroller.  My girl did great walking the whole way up and down the hill, but no pony was in sight unfortunately.  I brought the camera to photograph the little guy but ended up snapping some greenery instead.

workin hard...

My boy turned 1 year old last week...so it's high time that he gets a job...right?

Milk aint cheap, and neither are diapers.  So we put him to work in the fields...

...but that wasn't really working out. 

He kept trying to eat the sticks and strike these GQ poses.  It weirded everyone else out.

So we decided that maybe he could make a living out of being really really ridiculously good looking...

we are in talks with Osh Kosh B'gosh right now for him to be their newest male model.

That's a lie.

But he's pretty cute right?

and then we have my daughter....she's just a mess all her own.
Lucky for her she's cute.
she doesn't have a job yet either but she does love rocks.
Anyone want to pay her to throw rocks up in the air?
