Chickens, Potties, Dancers, Rollerskates, Rainbows & Magicians… Oh My!

Hi everyone.  We’re back online after the longer-than-I-wished-for delay.  I’ve been replacing computers (mine and my wife’s), adding software and upgraded to a Vista 64-bit operating system.  I know, I know… I’ve vowed I would never go to Vista and that XP ruled as far as I was concerned.  Well, Photshop CS4 was drawing me and I couldn’t get away from her… she drew me right into her claws!  It’s been really good so far and the upgraded RAM makes a HUGE difference as I process all of your images.  Lastly, I want to let you know that I built the computer from scratch… well, I should say that I have “a guy” who did it and I just helped.  He was the doctor so-to-speak and I was the nurse handing him the scalpal if you know what I mean.  He did a great picking all the parts and assemblying it… I highly recommend him if you need a system and don’t want to be limited by what you can configure through HP or Dell.

Anyway, on to the pictures!!!  I have to say that these were taken (mostly) by my kids and the color, lighting, composition, focus, etc… is not what you can expect from us when you hire us as your photograhpers (hey, I had to say that… it’s a photography blog after all!), but these images are priceless from a dad’s point of view.  Look at them through that “filter” and we’ll be just fine… OK?

Our little one, M3, is potty training and having pretty good success at it so far… at least for Number 1.

potty training success!

 

Again, her big sisters get a kick out of “having fun with Marissa”… it’s all good clean fun, but the chicken does get tired after the extravaganza and needs a drink… almost bed time!

Now for bubbles and bed time…

This is what she calls her “Farmer Hat”… that’s some cityfied farmer if you ask me!the "Farmer Hat"

 

Some miscellaneous dancing with her big sisters laughing their heads off in the background…

This was a fund raiser that we went to at a local skating place.  The girls had a great time with their friends.  This was Marissa’s first time on skates and she did great!

Next, M2 caught this rainbow out our back window.  She was thrilled when I said I would put her picture on our blog… I think she’s a photographer in the making.

Lastly, M3, with the prodding of Maggie, decided to do a little magic work… she forgot to click her fingers and have the stuff automatically get put away when she was done.

I hope you enjoyed some of my “proud daddy moments” above.  Take care and we’ll be in touch soon… God Bless.  Tim
