 fujifilm f50
My apologies to those still dealing with the cold and snow. It broke 90 here today. Hey, anyone know where my camera charger is, or my pc laptop charger for that matter? Both are dead and useless until I find the chargers. I'm sure in some random camera bag somewhere. That's what happens when you hardly use things. Angst! Anyone want to come over and search for them while I eat bon bons and watch TV? That'd be great thanks. |

It's been six days since the baby was born, I figure it's time to post a photo already. (This one's for you Josh.) More later, I'm really tired and still feel like I was hit by a truck, so I'm going to bed. (Madelyn Bernice. 3-19-09 8lbs 8oz...yeah..ouch!) |

 "I made papa!" -Annaliese 28 months old This one about made me pee my pants laughing. Again, followed by me making a mad dash to the diaper bag to grab the point and shoot yelling, "Don't Erase It!! Don't Erase It!! Don't Erase It!!" She's not toilet trained and can't dress herself, but she can do a dead on artist rendering of papa.
( The resemblance to papa is striking ) |

Annaliese and her portraits at 28 months. This one isn't papa cause there is no beard. But it's definitely someone in the family with a pointy head. Maybe Jason, Josh, not sure? It insults her to ask. It should be obivious. Not a fancy shot, but I had to get it fast with the point and before she erased it. I was running upstairs to grab the point and shoot yelling, "Don't erase it!! Don't erase it!! Don't erase it! Don't erase it!" Then it was a miracle she even stood there long enough for the shot. She loves her new art set from Andi.

 Nikon D3 Photos by Josh
My card design this year. Then I had them printed on Metallic paper. They turned out really cool. I didn't send many out this year, but then again, I just started my Christmas shopping this weekend and haven't wrapped a single thing. I'm usually done by now, but I'm a little behind with everything. (Anyway, don't ask about the hair, it's a sensitive issue.) |

 Nikon D2X, Nikon D3 Photos by Emily, Josh, Ben and Siri and possibly Mikey.
Okay, I'm going to post the cards I designed this year. This one is moms. It's the concept I came up with when we realized not all of us would be getting together for a group photo. We just had to have photos submitted by twos (except for Nana, we let her in our shot, cause we like her.) The idea originally was to be wearing brightly colored winter hats and scarves, but as you can see I was shot down with that one. We got some participation there, but it was a tough sell, so we said, "do whatever." Any level of participation is a good thing in my family. You take what you can get and I actually like how this one turned out. (I also tried to sell it being printed metallic paper, maybe next year.) It would have been cool. |

We took Nana to Disneyland. This is why I have not started Christmas Shopping yet. That and I had an insane project for a client this week. Holy Cow, glad that one is done! Now it's time to start shopping. Place your order here.

 NIkon D3 Nikkor 35-70 2.8 ISo 400 1/200 f4 Photoshop: action, crop
Tip for the day: Don't let your kids start sleeping in your bed. Nana kicked my butt last night. She has a thing for Barbies all of a sudden, (which is actually an improvement on her last sleep aid: a fist full of mommys hair. Try that one.) She insisted on taking them to bed with her. She had 5 barbies wrapped up in little blankies. When she'd fall asleep I'd move the barbies, because those suckers can take out an eye if you roll over on it the wrong way. Anyway, she kept waking up in the night realizing the barbies were moved and freaked out needing us to gather up all the barbies and load them back up into her hands. (And she knows if one is missing, why did I teach her how to count?) This happened like 3 times. So yeah, no kids in the bed. Getting her out is going to suck but it's gotta happen cause I'm waking up cranky and the day hasn't started. |

 We took Annaliese to look at the Christmas lights on Sunday. She couldn't sit still long enough to be in the shot though.

We did the girlie thing and went to Twilight last night with an auditorium full of screaming teenagers. Let me just say, it was an experience. Full Review to come under the cut.

I guess it's time for another update. As you can see by the photo, we have decided that it's time to enforce a little discipline on our girl who was born with lots of fire inside. Hmm, not my child. It's amazing what 2 minutes in the naughty corner can accomplish. She still likes to throw things at Nanny's dog, but who doesn't? (Just kidding Nanny, we like the dog.) That's not true, Nana doesn't really like the dog. When she takes a nap or goes to bed and the door is open even a crack, she'll sternly yell at me, "CLOSE THE DOOR! Puppy don't get in!!" Nana has a long memory. Apparently the puppy wronged her and she's not willing to let it go. Halloween. Nana loves Halloween, and not the cutesy Halloween, she likes the skeletons that talk and all the freaky scary stuff. Again, not my child. Up until Halloween I would make special trips with her to Target so she could see the "Halloween Scary" as she would call it. I'd push the cart to the Halloween section and let her animate all the life size skeletons and grim reapers while she smiled ear to ear. One of the times I took her to let her animate everything in the aisle, and a mother had to quickly usher her freaked out 5 year old child out of the aisle. Yeah, she's a strange kid I know. When we went trick or treating, she wanted to linger at all the houses that had all the intense decorations. I should have known she'd be like this the day we were at Disneyland buying souvenirs and her daddy had given her a box of princess dolls to hold while we strolled her to the check out. We passed by an aisle of Jack Skelington dolls and she spotted it and chucked the princess right to the ground in exchange for Jack. I guess that's what happens when you let your kid watch, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" at 12 months old in the rotation with all the other Disney movies. Not afraid of anything scary.....except for the rain. She doesn't like rain. Go figure.

 Just working on a little inspiration for Kjersti's Photography homework. Try submitting a photo like this Kjer. Does this evoke emotion? It does if your mom. I emailed this photo to mom at work and commented next to it, "you think she looks bad, you should see your furniture and walls." I'm sure mom's really excited right about now that we moved in.
