Phew! It seems like time is flying by relentlessly! I feel as though I haven't had a chance to breathe since we've moved, nearly a month ago! Here are a few photos of what's been going on with us lately.

Is bedtime bittersweet in every household? My kids know the art of behaving their very best right before bedtime in hopes of gleaning a few more minutes of play. Man, they play me like a fiddle! I'm always so ready to put them to bed, but that's when I can get all the hugs and kisses I ask for.

Alaina has been insisting on lots of bows in her hair every night. We often find stashes of bows under her blankets. She gets very upset if one falls out.

Apparently, the lights on my flash are AMAZING! :) I love the toothpaste remnants on his enthralled face.

Who gets sick of her hair and cuts seven inches off with eyebrow scissors on a whim? This girl!

I rented a pair of dream lenses for a wedding that I am lucky enough to shoot tomorrow. I took the 70-200 2.8, also known as "The Monster" to the park to try it out today. It is a beast! It is so heavy that after a short while, you have to use your monopod just to hold it up. I'm sure I looked like an idiot taking pictures of my kids from twenty feet away with a big lens and monopod, but you have to practice somehow, right? I love the swirly bokeh and I'm so excited to use it. Also, don't you just love Alaina's squished face?

When I got home, I took advantage of the wide angle lens to take some shots of our new place. It always amazes me how wide angles can make a room look comically huge. I love love love this kitchen.

As for tomorrow, do I have some nerves! Wish me luck!

I emailed Photobucket about the reds issue. Apparently, my files are too big for optimal viewing, so they recommend I pay for a pro account or resize every image. Blah, that's a chore for another day.

So how did the wedding shoot go?! I love all of these pics. Alaina's cute hair bow addiction, and Connor's toothepaste mouth. I bet it is so fun to have your little family in your own place! I can't believe you did that to your hair...wait, yes I can. It's YOU we're talking about!
