I like this kid

My posts are far, few and in between first, because I can't shake this lazy feeling & second, there is really not much to tell. Most of you already know that Broc's orders will be taking us to Savannah, GA in November. We feel as though we really lucked out with such a gig. We will be moments from the ocean, which will be quite a new thing. We may have to take up surfing, or not. Nonetheless, we are excited and thankful to have an opportunity like this. 

Here are some photos on this sunny day. It's hard to believe that Piper will be 2 years old in just a few months. I've enjoyed being her mother so much, she is my delight.

i figured that the mass of photos would satisfy all of you for a couple of days. we are all recovered from the fun of road tripping and back to working for the man, Piper said "lighten up and lets do an egg hunt, it's Easter after all!".

so it looks like my wife has already stopped caring about her readers, so i'll step in and fill the void. Thus you get a photo montage of our road trip last week. from Maryland to GA and home, here it is...

 cheap and shameless plug but you need to listen to Romeo Radio right now

very small leaps for vertically challenged mankind

Piper came to me today with a very clear plan for her future and none of it was spoken in perfect Queens English. Within the next 15 years she is going to be a commanding pilot for NASA. She asked for some options that might help her with preparation for galactic space travel. So naturally all of us would thing the same thing... SPACE CAMP! We did some research, there are only two things holding us back from sending her right now, 1. she doesn't have the money to make her way to Russia (she really wants to train with the monkeys); 2. they told us she needs to fix her body mass index, either shed some lbs or grow a couple inches. Here is what we did for her from home...





The weather here has been cold and depressing for the past couple of days so the gals needed to get out for a while and i had to meet up with someone to drop of some photos. The meeting spot was conveniently place where much joy can be regained. DQ! These are the events that took place with one Piper J. and a first kid's size vanilla ice cream. You will be happy to know she is only a year or two on in training to be able to consume mass volumes of the frozen goodness; this girl is completely impervious to brain freeze!

This is what i have been working on for the last week, more or less my job is to take photos and video for the training cycle. Last week i was tasked with putting together a new little flasher graduation program. The black and white photo is going to be the inlay photo for the middle of the program. And last week was the last training week for the cycle, meaning i was able to go out and spend some time in the field doing fun stuff and shooting some fun photos. Here are a couple of the fun ones, out of the thousands, i thought would be fun to share...

Look close you can see privates...

Throw Back

I am unable to get my hands on our only working camera due to a certain someone, who's name I won't mention. This person who Piper calls Dad takes video and photos for a living, leaving me with nothing to catch the precious moments of our daughter's existence... Thank you dear for puting food on the table, but no thanks for snuffing out post product, while the demand for more is high. Although this picture is not new material, it's a favorite of mine; a much smaller, quieter, balder version of Piper.

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Piper is getting over yet another cold. It's strange how often she is ill, considering we are the only people she hangs out with. I suppose that's just how kids do. We had a 50 degree day, which we really needed after being cooped up with germy germs. Piper and I spent a majority of the day playing outside with a ball, bubbles & a kite. As you can see, the kite needed a little pep talk.

FISH!

"Fish are never too busy to be frightened" thought Piper, referring to one of her dearest books, The Large and Growly Bear. Though she wasn't looking to frighten the fish, I can't imagine they were welcoming of a bright eyed face smashed against the side of their home. Yes we have fish. When Grandma & Grandpa Barnes visited last, they brought a little friend, which eventually turned into 4 friends, because really, who want's to be alone in a fish bowl? Soon Broc pulled out his handy dandy laptop and found a low maintenance tank to better accommodate them. Piper named the first "Fishy," and we took the reigns from there: Lady, Nemo & Oliver.

It seems we're getting behind on posting. Though my intentions are good, Broc has to take his camera to work most days. I simply refuse to post without a picture of Piper, because truly, who cares otherwise? There is so much to tell, but for fear of overwhelming you, I will have to spread it out. Fish are a very stimulating topic. Yep, take it all in...
