No news is good news

I am conducting an experiment for the next couple of weeks. I am staying away from the news...burying my head in the sand so to speak. I read an article a while back about how the news effects your mental health. I will let you know how it goes.

PS... don't spill any of the beans - I just don't want to know!

Bathtub fun

Little Man loves his bath!

The Sand Man

We took the kids back to Kensington/Hyde Park last weekend. I caught "Manny" playing in the sandbox.

I don't want to call the kids by their names so here are the new nicknames they will have on the blog
SRB = "Red" for obvious reasons ;)
HSB - "Gap Girl" - I think she looks like the kids used in the Gap ads
ECB - "Manny" - we call him "Little Man" but most of the time he's "Manny"

Funny

Did any of you see that the UK denied giving a visa to Martha Stewart? They gave us five... now that is funny! I suppose being sophisticated folks from Texas gave ua an unfair advantage (and no real jail time on our permanent records).

Sorry Martha, the Queen doesn't want to have tea with you ;)

Photography blog

My photography blog is back up and running with a new name and address. If you want to check it out,go here:

Learning

I know I've posted this photo before but I reworked it using a new tip I found online.

Update

Warning, I am in the process of changing the name of my photography blog. I accidentally typed in the name without photography at blogspot and came across a not so child friendly (or Christian Adult) site. So now I am trying to come up with a new name. As soon as I have it back up and running, I will post the new address here.

How was everyones weekend (Fathers Day)?

Wishes

Wishing all of you Dads a wonderful day! Put your feet up, take the day off - you deserve it. Our lives wouldn't be the same without you. We love you!

New Blog

I've started a new blog where I can post my photography related stuff. I feel funny putting photos on this blog that aren't family or travel related.

So if you are interested in seeing the pics, come on over! If not, that's just fine ;)
I will continue to post pictures of the kids on this blog (don't worry).

The blog address is:
tinylittlethingsphotography.blogspot.com

Congrats!

I have a few things to scream HURRAY about!

First: My nephew Charlie is graduating from Memorial High School tonight! WAY TO GO CHARLIE!!! Wish we were there to see you walk across the stage! Pictures please :) Big hugs to you!

Second: We have a new little niece. Levi and Jessica, can't wait to see pictures and get more information about how and when she arrived! I bet little Sophia Madelyn is beautiful. Love that name.

Happy Birthdays going out to my nephew Chris in the Navy, Uncle Aaron, and to Elizabeth our new neighbor.
