Another cute picture of the boys. I've been playing around with photoshop:)

Boys

We are getting ready for our big summer adventure, packing, cleaning, etc. All the energy always sparks my creative side and causes me to dive into a project or two. All the time that I spend on these things (like this blog for example!) I should really be putting into cleaning our house and doing laundry to ensure that we're ready to leave on time. Oh well, it's kind of what keeps me going I guess. Our anniversary was yesterday (8 years!!) and Mark got me a book on photography. I have a new camera that I saved up and bought this last winter and I've been experimenting with it ever since. For someone who really knows nothing about how to take a picture besides pushing the trigger button it's definatly my challenge for this year! I feel like I'm ready, I'm at a place in my life where some of my hard drive is freed up to take in this knowledge. Of course it's a slow process and my slow brain doesn't like to try to understand all that jargen. We'll see how long it lasts. Part of my enthusiasm comes from being way too frugal (cheap?) to have a photographer take pictures of my own kids when I feel like I might just have the capacity to do it myself. We'll see.

We're growing! (me the most:)

Wow! We finally decided that our family just needed one more kiddo to make us complete. We are expecting number three in November. We hope to find out this summer sometime what we are having but we're not sure if we're going to tell....we'll see. Having two boys already has created a strange dynamic wherever I go. People seem to really need to say something about the possibility of a girl, as if we haven't already thought about the fact that we already have two boys. For the first time I'm really experiencing the annoyance of thoughtless comments from people. Also, a third baby seems to be hard to comprehend for some....as if we're going beyond the norm or something. Yet, most of our friends are having three....I just can't wait to see what God has in store!

I've moved!

After starting my blog on wordpress, I've decided to change over since it didn't seem as streamlined. Any complexity that makes this more challenging for my slow brain is just not tolerable! So...I'm no longer at 'www.myknittygritty.wordpress.com'.
