Indoor 'studio' style using Natural light...

Set up a black backdrop in the living room today and snapped a few of L and Baby J. These were shot at ISO 1600..and can I say, I LOVE this camera!! My old one, never would I be able to use the pictures at that ISO, but this one, I'd enlarge all of these...


And then after school..B let me take some of him outside...
Enjoy...

Brothers and the attempt at a Christmas Card Picture..

I asked D and L to let me take a picture of them together. Now, L was our family baby. He was the only 'thing' that D and B liked. They enjoyed playing with him and laughing with him. Each having their own time and enjoyable activities with him. They do love him..so it wasn't too hard to ham it up with him for the camera...

Now...getting all 4 BOYS to look and be 'happy' was another story.. This is what I got.. D with snowball ready to get B, B ready to get D and L well he got D with one... And poor Baby J just sitting there amongst his big brothers.. That's life with 4 BOYS!! Merry Christmas..Don't be surprised if your cards hold this photo!!


Have a great day, ALL!! Love one another..

Mis

Some fun in the snow....

My buddies and I enjoyed our first big snow yesterday. The boys were so excited to go sled riding and just play in the lovely white cold stuff!! Me, I'm content just watching them and snapping their faces...


L zooming down the little hill ...Daddy and Baby J..this was one of the last ones taken. Baby J got to the bottom and said 'Again, Dada, Again..'
L and B..they had the most fun, we had to tell them it's time to go to Chuck E. Cheese to get them to come in..





One of this Mama's favorite's of her Baby J..



So, I am still working on the color with my new camera, which is why the color is so varied..it was a lot of fun, watching the boys play and I actually can't wait for next time- WITHOUT the camera, though..I LOVE going down the hill with the boys and listen to their giggles, and if we're dressed just right, it's always fun to tip it over at the bottom and roll in the snow..Oh the days of fun and joy are upon us.. We are blessed..

Have a great day..

Baby J...

Okay, I have to add more.. he's learned to 'smile' for the camera..well sort of..

It's gone....how sad...

So, my wonderful little camera, my Minolta 5D has died. This has been a very sad day for me. It looks like it will be a good month until I will have a camera in my hands again, as I will likely purchase a new Canon 40D and it will not be released until late September!

Here are a couple of my last images with her...
And then a couple of the boys on the first day of school..

Mis

Big and Little Brothers..

Here' s D and Baby J... They just LOVE each other..


And, D., by himself..he's growing up.. Since I can't ever decide b/w and color, you get to see both..

Clean, Forgiven and Declarative.....

I am so proud to announce that my older 2 boys announced their acceptance of Jesus into their lives on Sunday, August 19. They both wanted to declare their love for Him and submit their lives to Him and His changing ways. Both boys were baptized that afternoon. They were very excited for this day to come. The baptism took place at Springfield Lake in Springfield Township, Ohio. A total of seven Christians made this declarative statement to their friends and family.


Here's B, my 8 year old...

The following 2 photographs do not belong to me but to the boys special auntie, J...

And, D., my 10 year old.

Mis

For Baby J's Special Auntie J....

This is for you.... This is what you meant by all the boys reading Scripture, RIGHT???

2 Timothy 3:15 (King James Version)

15And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Baby J got up and looked through L's little Bible...by himself..
