Sorry I haven't been updating. Things have been a little crazy, which means I get a lot distracted. Over this last weekend we had soccer, trick-or-treat Halloween at grandma & grandpa's campground, a wedding, and then I experimented with senior pictures.
First things first..there was soccer.
The boys didn't do so well. I know my little guy's problem (child in red - top picture) was that he had been up too late Friday night. Instead of picking them up and going home at a reasonable hour, we stayed out too late talking to our friends. (My nephew was playing goalie in Pic #2 and my niece is walking down the field with her coach in Pic #3).
After soccer we went trick-or-treating through the campground. Again. Yes, we just did it two weeks ago. What's your point? This was a different campground. Besides, you try telling grandma and grandpa no. See how that works out for you.
As soon as the campground opened back up and cars could once again move, we headed off to a wedding reception. Conveniently, it happened to be about four or five miles down the road. We arrived pretty much in time for dinner, which was perfect!
We didn't get home that night until after 2 a.m. We ended up taking home my brother and his wife. Somehow my brother then conned us into playing Wii Fit. I had fun, but boy did my back hurt the next day. Between the dancing and the middle-of-the-night exercising, I was hurtin'!
The next day was gorgeous, which was awesome because I had senior pictures to take! I was so nervous. Luckily, the weather cooperated and I was able to experiment with a willing subject. I had so much fun. Of course, not all the pictures turn out, but I imagine even the professionals get the occasional bad shot.

You take some of the best photos...someday we will all be begging you to take photos for us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend!!! The pics of you guys at the wedding are great! You all look wonderful!! Hugs and kisses all around! Ü
ReplyDeleteThat top photo is a great action shot!! And I love the senior pictures too - they turned out nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your pep talk on my blog. It means a lot, and I agree with that you're saying too. Though now that the "sting" is wearing off, I am finding that I do agree with her critique, and it's not a bad thing - she's pushing me to do even better, and that's good. It's work! Yuck. :-)
I love the last one. You have done well, my apprentice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Master. Or should I call you Obi-Wan?
