Playing at the park

The kids have loved the sunny warm days. They love that the park is at the bottom of our building. Heck even I love that! And with my new 50mm lens I'm in photography heaven.

I've got this new photo of Ali I've been loving. I've been playing around with it and have a few version's of it.

For me this photo could be perfect any which way cause its a good photo. From lots of expression to the right focus and feel. I love taking photos of my baby girl.

it is not my speciality but researching I'm pretty good at. I'm working on setting up a new website! I'm excited. I am now helping to build our new preschool. They are lacking the preschool room here for all the kids of age. So, we are working on a new program. :)

I've also gotten a few new spots that I'm so happy to join! Miss Tiina has opened her ranks to have me as a hybrid member of her team. Wonderful Holly has let me come aboard as part of her blog team. Simply Scraps, lovely Laura has accepted me on her team as well! I'm so thrilled for my new adventures and am working on my scheduling right now!

I have been working on a mother's day gift lately that I won't be able to really share since the receiver checks my blog. ;)

I've got some work to be done and some kids to get ready for bed. Have a good weekend everyone.

Okay we are not on Seaseme Street but we are also not at home :) We are sitting at the CAC cause its O Day. We are about to have lunch then go out and enjoy the festivities.

I recently took over our FRG and now have more to look forward to. As well as some bbq from the Commander for Mother's Day, yay!

And last but not least tonight... I am going to my first Zumba class! Wish me luck, as I think it will kick my butt. Tomorrow I'm hoping that we can get to the indoor pool and play with the kids.

Well off to order some "kicken's and pies!"

Making a Baby

(this is copied from a friend, not a single dirty word!)

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'

'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.'

'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?'

'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat'.

After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'

'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'

'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'

'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.'

'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith.

'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'

'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.

'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.'

'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith.

'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'

'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?'

'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.'

'Tripod?'

'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.'
