Inspired {Sunday photo bliss}

Hello M-Mode!

Goodbye AV mode!!

Finding the Holiday joy isn't the only class I've taken inspiring me to work out of my comfort zone (AV is where its at).  Taking a picture of a kid, on the go... on M-mode, forget about it.  I've felt the frustration and turned my dial back.  

There is still so much time, learning, more effort to put into manual-- it can be a very scary setting.  But the results today were... rewarding.  Although a bit noisy and on the fly, I got THEM! 

Here is my Sunday photo bliss {inspired by www.thecoffeeshopblog.com}

50mm  1/60  f/1.8  3200  

Ro and Daddy snuggling, it happens often but lately the minute Ro hears the sound of my camera he RUNS for the hills --giving me nothing but he back of his head.  I got IT!!

50mm  1/30  f/2.0  2500

a new ritual for Ro. every time Dan gets the paper opened... Ro gets the Toys R Us ad.  He's shopping for something good.

I love sharing!  Thanks for looking.

This is my first blog post for {finding the Holiday joy}

This Holiday season is going to be different for my family because, after spending 7 wonderful years in Japan, we are going to be spending the Holidays with family in OH.  And because of this (and a recent PCS) we are doing things different this year.   I'm still not sure if I want to pull out all the Christmas decor. I am still putting up, organizing... re-organizing, re-putting up stuff from the move -- do I want to add to that?...
I will, for the sake of my kids, put up a tiny tree.  Thanks to Black Friday they've already received an early Christmas gift (not so sure how we'd pull off getting the trampoline back from OH, lord knows the car is full enough without the added gifts).
I did pull out the Advent, not just because {finding the Holiday Joy} inspired me to, but because we need a count down to Gramma's house.

Its meant to be filled with goodies but Ro decided to use it as a... parking garage :)

A day in the life of... {Sunday Photo Bliss}

Inspired by The Coffee Shop Blog {inspired by SouleMama's blog}

Photo's that make me smile.

Until next Sunday!

A new location {?}

Yay or Nay... you tell me ;D

We saw this spot on the way home from the prospective ran down corner store.  The corner store definitely had potential and charm... but, was not a spot for little guys. We'll have to test that spot out another day.

Rj slept in the car while the rest of us played.  He did end up waking up before we left but he wasn't much of a participant, but that's ok, he's my subject most of the time any way.

Until next time!

I chose to partake in PW's (www.thepioneerwoman.com) photo Assignment this time around.  My first time ever!  Here's what I submitted:

Just like the kids... always needing to know what I'm up to.  This time it worked to my benefit--  as the theme is 4 legged friends.  I took a look at all the submissions and WOW there are some great ones! 

Good luck to all the contestants.  

{Bella Rockstar, you ROCK!  I love my girl!}

a mom, couple 'ah kids, the camera & a day out of school

What a great day!  We had weather in the upper 40's by the time we got out of the house and the sunshine was absolutely perfect.  I am still getting acquainted with the Haughton area so we didn't venture out far (at all).  We wondered along the Fox Trail in our housing development talking about all kinds of things, trying to keep pace with the almost 3 year old running the show.  I am shocked that the kid gave me as many smiles as he did... it was great. AND Miquela is always absolutely beautiful, the camera loves her.   So, honestly...  we did more play then "J.O.B." shadowing.

I love my kids & I love what I do.

Thanks for looking!
