tuesday photos

This is Brian's breakfast almost everyday.  Peanut butter toast.  And his morning time with the iPhone.

I found free tutorials for Lightroom today on the internet.  I watched 3 of them.  I've had Lightroom for almost a year now and have barely scratched the surface of what it's capable of.  I'm determined to learn it (at least a lot of it) this year.

Elliott and Brian made more videos today with the Lego minifigures.  Did I mention Elliott LOVES doing this?  I don't know why I'm surprised.  It involves technology paired with Legos.  What's not to love for him?

Realizing there is little time left until school starts.  Realizing that the boys can't wear their play clothes everyday anymore.  Realizing some shopping needed to be done for Elliott.  Realizing that he's growing up and wanting to choose his own clothes.  Realizing that he really likes black and gray.

Elliott wanted to go skating.  Brian put on some skates and hung out with him.  I was the photographer and encourager (you don't break bones that way).  It had been a while since he had skated, and he was a little discouraged at first.  But he really did great and had improved so much by the time we left.

Awesome sunset tonight.  I didn't even see it.  Brian came in and grabbed the camera.  I love how the rays are going up.  It reminded me of the other day when the boys and I saw a similar sky, except the rays were pointed down toward earth.  We were in the car, and Ethan said "Elliott, look at all the people going up to Heaven!"  Love all the things he says.

monday photos

Favorite photos from Monday's batch.

One of the creatures I saw as I went out the front door to switch the sprinkler.  yay.

Enjoying cereal again.  Doesn't taste exactly the same but good anyway.

The devotion for today.  I'm finding that I go through phases where these devotions are enough for me each day and then when I want to delve deeper and read more.  I have been reading Acts, which was awesome cause the boys' lessons on Sundays have been from Acts.  Now they're on to Ephesians and I'm still finishing Acts.  That's okay with me.  I enjoy my own pace.

Brian and Elliott spent a good part of the afternoon making movies with Lego minifigures.  Elliott has LOVED this, and he's learned way more than I care to know about editing movies.  Give me a photo to edit anyday!

The Muny.  This was Elliott's first trip to the Muny.  We saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.  Some of the material was over his head (thankfully), but he enjoyed the whole experience.  I really enjoyed the whole night.  I love the Muny.  Love being outside.  Love Forest Park.  Love musicals.  I would go every week if I could.
