The New Camera

Right before Joss was born I decided I needed a new digital camera. I know absolutely nothing about cameras. I mean nothing. I ended up getting a great little Canon off of Craigslist. This thing is loaded with fancy settings. It took me a long time to get the darn thing to take a nice picture. I had to adjust all kinds of settings. Things I've never heard of like aptiture, shudder speed, image stabilization, blah, blah, blah... I'm making it my goal to take lots of great pictures while I'm on my maternity leave. The other day I thought I'd try and get a few pictures of the boys together. Here's how it turned out:

So first things first...get both boys in the chair. Check. Okay next step, focus the picture.

Obviously I was too slow. Fighting ensues...

Hair pulling got a good reaction. Let's try a good ole round house kick to the face shall we?

The kick to the face doesn't phase Randy..

I'm not exactly sure why Reece is the one crying here.

I do know that if I'd have taken one more picture in the series, it would have been Randy biting Reece. I drew the line with biting and put the camera down. Oh well. Maybe I'll have better luck next time!

I'm baaaccckk

It's been over 2 months since my last blog update. Yikes! I promise that I have a few good excuses though. We were lucky enough to move the Beasties into a new house. One with lots and lots of room for them to run and ruin things, along with a big backyard and a play house. The move went extremely well considering I was 8 months pregnant at the time. I can't give enough credit to our friends and family for helping us for countless hours. There is no way this could have gone as well as it did without all of their help.

In other news: On July 1st Miss Jocelyn Elise joined our family. She is sweet as can be. Nothing like at all like the Beasties. Please keep your fingers crossed for us that she doesn't switch teams on us.

She really is as precious as she looks. The Beasties have adjusted quite well to the new addition. In fact, they have surprised the heck out of Randy and I.

Well folks, that's all for now. I'm going to give it my best shot at blogging at least once a week from here on out. There is way too much cuteness in my life right now to not share!
