Random...

One of these days, I'm going to figure out how to tell my camera how to capture Jack's skin color.  It doesn't matter how many tries with making a custom white balance, I can never seem to get it right :(.  Oh well.  He's still a cute baby :)

Yes, his eyes really do glow like that :)

My silly Daddy

I am a girly girl living in Superheroville... One of these days, my sister-in-law will finally have her baby, and then I can  shower tutus and ruffles!

My Spring Garden

I love tulips and daffodils.  I'm always so sad to see them go.  I think my daffodils lasted less than a week this year will all of the crazy weather changes.

I've tried to make the garden one that is continuously blooming all spring and summer... daffodils, hyacinth, tulips, irises, lilies, hostas.  I need to find some perennial that blooms in the fall.  I'm so excited!  After 2 years of waiting, my clematis finally started growing!  It's currently working its way up the railing on the front steps. Now I just have to wait to find out what color the blooms are :)

Lucas

Lucas was being especially adorably sweet today (something that, I'm sad to say, doesn't seem to happen much at this age...).  Our pediatrician calls this the adolescence of toddlerhood :).  We played around with my camera a little bit.  When I was done taking pictures, he sat on my bed and just scrolled through the pictures of himself over, and over, and over, and over...

500 Festival 2013

Jason ran the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Saturday.  He finished in the top 13th percentile :)

Jason says, "Give the the camera to her.  See if she'll take our picture."  Sooo... I did.  And the woman asks me which button zooms out.  Sorry, darling.  The DSLR only zooms out more if you move your feet backwards.

 We left Jack at home with G'ama.  It was plenty hard enough getting Lucas up at 5:30...

During the wait, beach balls were thrown into the runner corrals to keep everyone entertained (and to give them something to direct their adrenaline toward)

Jason says the pic on the left isn't internet worthy... I disagree :)

Since we had 1.5-2 hours to kill, Lucas and I strolled along the Canal.  I always forget how beautiful and peaceful it is down there!

  

This is where Jason proposed to me almost exactly 7 years ago (5/5/05)

 

Unfortunately, you had to pay to get into special tents on the finish line if you want to see your family/friends finish.   So, no finish line photo :(

Lucas's Kid's Run is next Saturday...

Jason recorded the race, and I caught this...

The woman with the jogger is me :) Lucas decided we got him up too early, so he's catnapping.
