From Far Away...

Well for Christmas, Kris bought me a new lens. I'm so super happy and love it to pieces (not literally though). Mom and Kris both said "you're gonna have tons of photos of random things from far away", they weren't wrong. Since it's both telephoto and macro I can do amazing things with it. Yay. So I have been having fun with it. It will also help me in my endeavor to get awesome landscape shots in my portfolio. Can't wait to do that.

Here are some awesome "random things from far away"
























Holidays...

It was a great holiday season. We fit three families into a small kitchen for Thanksgiving and had my parents visit during Christmas. There was plenty of sickness passed around to everyone, but all have survived. I was sad when my mom and dad left. I cried, but hopefully we'll see them again soon.

Growth...

You've heard the saying about your kids "don't blink"? Well it is so true, everytime I blink the kids hit a milestone, grow out of clothes or turn another year older. It is so hard to watch them grow so fast. You don't realize it is flying by until you stop to take a breath and realize time has flown.

Taylor is starting her second half of Kindergarten on Monday. She loves to read and write. She is great at basic math and loves school.

James is doing awesome with his speech therapy and is gaining so much knowledge from that and from Taylor (who loves to teach him). He is making great strides in everything we try. He knows his colors, some of his letters and can count to 5.

Becca is going to be one very shortly. She is standing on her own and walking along the couch. She is so strong and you would never know she was born early.
