I like this perspective.  Wishing those vertical red lines were all around the bag - that would be awesome.

Love my time with this guy.
Celebrated his 41st birthday this week.
He wanted the whole-grain oat and nut pancakes like the ones at IHOP.
I think he was the only one that liked them.
They were really dry, and the boys didn't complain, but I could tell they were not too excited to see that the buttermilk pancakes were nowhere to be found.

There is a bad color cast in our breakfast room.
Hmmm....possibly due to the green walls?  Ummm, yes.
I've found that sometimes the only fix is changing the image to black and white, but I'm still not liking the overhead light casting those shadows on his face.  We should have birthdays in the summer, when there is nice, bright natural sunlight early in the mornings.  I may need to look into a flash for these dark early mornings.

{i love this}

There is something special about still receiving cards and notes in the mail.
I still get excited to open that box each afternoon and see what surprises are in there.
And even in this technology-driven era, my kids still enjoy this simple little task also.

I'm still not liking the contrast in this image.  I'm finding that overcast days are the most difficult for me to get exposure and white balance correct.

Ready for a change in wall color around here.
Agreeable gray is the top choice right now.

Catching up.

As I post this, I'm actually on day #161 of this project - so I'm 99 days behind on posting to the blog.

I'm going to try to catch up and inundate your Feedly or your email and you will probably never want to see another post from me ever again :)

Don't worry though - it will be mostly pictures.  Text will be short and sweet.

It's pretty quiet around here when he comes home from school now, but he usually still tells me about his day, and I love that!
