Tardiness

Oh well, so much for having a daily blog. It's been longer than I anticipated.

Since my last post, there was a very unexpected death in my family, which has been very difficult, to put it mildly. Then both of the kiddos got sick. K ended up with a double ear infection before it was all over. Yikes! Anyway, I guess things are starting to get back to "somewhat" normal around here.

Now to today's photos. About a week and a half ago, the local high school had their homecoming parade, and it passed right by our house. We took the kids out to see it. N couldn't care less, but K had a blast! M caught a few beads for here, and I took these photos after the parade was over. Here she is, admiring her treasures. Enjoy!

While we were visiting my mom, I took K to the little playground down the road. She's still pretty hesitant about playgrounds. She's very wary of the other kids running around, and she plays very cautiously. It takes her a while to loosen up and enjoy herself. To make her more comfortable, I put her in the toddler swing and just pushed her for a little while. She really enjoys swinging, and before long she was ready to run, shout, and play with the best of them.

So a couple of weekends ago we went up to visit with the in-laws. While we were there I decided to get that "perfect" shot of K and N, since I didn't really have any pics of them together yet. Well, we tried and tried and tried to get her to cooperate, but she just would not do it. She did not want to sit in that chair with her brother! This is what I ended up with:

I was so bummed that I didn't get that perfect shot, but maybe I did after all.

the beginning

So this is the beginning of my photo blog. I've seen some really great ones out there, and they've inspired me to start my own. I'm sure at first I will be the only person reading this. That's okay. I need to hold myself accountable for taking pictures and not slacking. I don't know how "daily" this blog will actually be, but hopefully I'll get on here pretty regularly and share some photos, experiences, and/or tips. Thanks for stopping by, and come back to see me soon!
