Week 1

My new camera didn’t get opened until the end of the unwrapping, but I tried to play a bit after and got some fun pictures of the boys. I love Joe’s smile in this, he is looking at his brother, getting ready to do something mischievous... Day 1

There’s always got to be one in a crowd, and today, it was Joe’s turn. We set the timer and took a total of 10 pictures: he was smiling in exactly NONE of them. Day 2

I was trying to experiment with taking pictures with slow and fast shutter speeds, and was hoping to get a picture of Cocoa wagging her tail, but she kept following me and getting up nice and close: she wasn’t interested in posing, she just wanted someone to pet her, as usual. Day 3

I thought Will knew I was sitting on the floor with my tripod taking pictures, so I was a little surprised that when I called his name, he actually looked up at me. This was my only chance, though. I had to resort to taking pictures of the cat after this one. I really like this picture, though, with the abandoned shoe and the piles of quilts. Looks like our real life... Day 4

71 pictures later, this is the best I could come up with. The expression was a pretty accurate representation about how the entire day went. Meh. Day 5

I was taking pictures of the socks that I'm making for Mark when he walked in. I turned around and snapped quick. He's a good sport. Day 6

I'd love to take pictures of my family, but all they do is sit and play PS3 and computer games and give me the stink-eye when I try to turn my camera on them. The cat, now, sometimes I get lucky and get a really nice shot of him. Day 7
