Day 229: April 21, 2012

The weather was absolutely fabulous today so the kids and I spent nearly two hours playing at the city park this afternoon to celebrate!  Grace was super busy but I managed to get a few of her sliding down the pole and going across the monkey bars.

Day 228: April 20, 2012

Just a quick pic of the head scratcher David got for Christmas that lives in the office.  The thing is surprisingly handy.

Day 227: April 19, 2012

My 50mm stopped focusing a few weeks ago and got sent into Canon for repair.  I was a little lost without my favorite lens, so I was ecstatic when it was delivered fixed and good as new!  Of course the only person home at the time was David and he was glued to the Xbox...

Day 226: April 18, 2012

Dexter hanging out on the couch with us watching late night television.  Used my iPhone for fill light!

Day 225: April 17, 2012

I hate it when I forget to take a photo for the day until late at night.  Believe it or not the bathrooms have the best lighting in our house at night so I was perusing the bathroom with my camera and thought this little tin Dutch row house collection would make an interesting subject.  It's been hanging out in our bathroom for the past ten years and lived on David's dorm desk before that.  I can't remember if he picked it up on his trip to the Netherlands in high school or if his Oma brought it back for him on one of her trips.  Regardless, I still think they're pretty cool!

Day 224: April 16, 2012

The backyard tree is finally blossomed out, I took this at sunset while standing in a large (empty) flower planter to get tall enough!

Day 223: April 15, 2012

I met with the Momtographers group this afternoon for a photo walk at the cherry blossoms next to the capitol.  We were a little too late for cherry blossoms (glad I went two weeks ago when I had the chance with the kids!) but we found plenty to photograph around the capitol grounds and on Willamette University campus right across the street.  I found this little ladybug in the daffodil beds just before we really got going.
