Before I get to the photos I'll share some kid news - because after all, they are the focus of this blog. Hads has entered that stage where she's wild and crazy and never listens - which drives me wild and crazy too. Mike and I will be quickly starting to enforce some rules and begin time out time in the hopes that we don't have to repeat 500 times per day "don't stand on the table." Besides the not listening she had a bit of a rough week with a rash over her entire body that just started clearing up last night. She also got her fingers pinched in the door twice today - even though we also say 500 times per day "don't play with the doors!" Miles made me feel better today - in a moment where I was yelling because nobody was listening, I was trying to make lunch for the kids and soup for dinner all at the same time - he came up to me and said "I know what will make you feel better mom..." and he hugged me.
I quickly found out who in the house was my most willing, and able-to-sit-still model - Ruby! |
Trying to capture speed bike racing in motion. |
This is what Hadley did when I asked her to pose for a picture. |
My other best willing model is Mike. Being a wonderful husband he ran back and forth in the cul-de-sac so that I could practice playing with different shutter speeds. |
I think this is one of my best photos of the weekend! Look at the depth of field and my composition isn't horrible! |
Hadley will happily model if she's eating ice cream. |
Yes - my excitement got the best of me at 6 am this morning - that's Mike sleeping in the background. |
This was my one photo cheat - auto mode all of the way. The kids were making pizzas and I knew I didn't have 30 minutes to take pictures and adjust settings to capture this fun moment. |
