New Jammies

After we took a bunch of photos and played for a while he crashed on our bed. I could not resist.

He is getting so big and somethin' has to give!


His new favorite toy. Cesar! (named after Cesar Milan : Dog Whisperer)

I found these jammies and I'm glad that I put them on today, they are getting small already!

I saw a picture like his online yesterday and I wanted to try out and the sun was just right this morning.

Desire to be Creative

I was thinking last night about the desire to be creative. An author finding just the right twist to invoke emotion, an artist painting, sculpting or drawing in order to paint the bigger picture to tell a story without words, a photographer trying to find just the right angle that speaks about the environment, the mood and the subject all in one click. A chef combining the perfect blend of elements that makes a person's taste buds beg for one more bite. I think we all desire to creative something that speaks about our selves, better than our words, better than our art, better than our portraits, that tells the whole story from the right angle making people beg for one more opportunity to see us as we really are.

I tried some different angles today. Here is what we captured.

Overkill



Okay so I know this is the third post I have had today. I guess I am just making up for lost time. William, Kurt and I just went outside to try out his new sled! It was really cute. William hates the snow in his eyes. We will have to find a time when it is not snowing to go out and take some more pics.

Baby's got teeth


Williams teeth poked through a few weeks ago but we have not gotten a good shot of them until this morning!

Trying out some new things on GIMP




Kurt got me a new computer for my birthday and Christmas so I am trying out some new things in GIMP. I am learning but am enjoying trying new things. Last night I watched a tutorial (by an 8 year old) about how to make parts of your photo colored and other parts black and white. I tried a picture that I took last night of William in the bathtub and made the picture black and white and left the duck yellow. I wanted to try something else so I took a picture of Kurt and the boys and made thier ties red.
I am a bit obsessed with taking pictures now so I figured that I would post them here rather than on Facebook so people don't get sick of seeing my kid!
