For those of you playing along at home, you may enjoy these black and white photos of the little one from earlier today. He was playing peekaboo by hiding his face behind the toy and then jumping up with great excitement. They're in black and white just to be different.
Okay - here's one for you bloggers. Whoever comes up with the best caption wins. Keep it clean ...
What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

Check out my new model for the studio. This should help me learn about lighting even when I don't have a volunteer.
We've received some complaints that the blog hasn't been updated enough recently. Well, unfortunately, our camera's broke. For the last few family events we've had to shoot film *gasp* rather than the slick digital images that we've come to enjoy. So, until we get our camera fixed, the updates will be choppy at best. In other news, the entire family has been sick recently. First it was Annette who caught the bug. To use her words, "I was sick before being sick was cool." Then, Christopher had an unfortunate episode with the same illness followed by Adam. For the most part we're all healthy again.
These images were taken with a camera borrowed from Shane Noem. Many thanks to Shane for letting us borrow his camera for the two photo events we have this month.
Here's a previously unreleased image from a recent birthday party. Apparently this is a tradition(?)
At a party this weekend, there was a showdown between the little one and a fan that sprayed water. Here are 2 photos from their epic battle.
A cute photo of the little one as he devours his birthday cake. Today he's officially one year old and it appears he enjoyed the celebration.
So, the other day I was on my way home from an appointment when I spotted a motorcycle with an interesting license plate. On the back of this expensive ride (Harely Davidson?) was the plate "Y I WORK". The whole way home it made me think, "Why do I work? Why do any of us work?" Then, it dawned on me ... faces like the photo below are why I work...
For the record, the kiddo was extra tired causing his unhappiness with the 'rents.
"The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle..." Ah, lucky for us, we got to experience some of the sunny days in the Great Northwest and, indeed, they were some of the bluest skies we've ever seen. With great weather and even better company, we had a fantastic visit with friends and family out west. Check out some of the highlights:
Okay, so Jeff and Rebecca convinced us to post a few photos from the trip even though we haven't returned yet. These are images from their camera -- and it's a sweet camera for those of you keeping score at home. Enjoy!
We're currently in Anacortes, Washington. It was a lovely time visiting with Jeff and Rebecca in the Northwest. We started our visit in Seattle staying with Deanne & Jeff (sorry, no known blog at this time). We visited Pike Place Market and Pt. Defiance Zoo among other destinations. You'll love the photos of the polar bears at the zoo. Also, all we can say is Tacoma has really cleaned up its act. The Chihully Bridge was awesome in Tacoma. Check out this link for more information about Dale Chihuly. Finally, we visited Anacortes where we were able to kayak near Deception Pass. Many thanks to Anacortes Kayak Tours for the hospitality and equipment. We tipped our guide generously --- at least we thought it was generous.
Photos will be posted as soon as we return. Until then, wear polarized lenses because you never know what you might see.
