I spent the day with my sister's family this last week. My oldest nephew was home from Purdue so I took the opportunity to visit and take a few photos. My baby sis and her hubby have a 4-acre "spread" 30 minutes north of me with many beautiful backdrops for photos. Some of my favorite shots over the years have been taken there. It's difficult to believe that I used to change the diapers of these 3...where does the time go?!<br />

The weather was gorgeous so we strapped on our cameras and headed to <a href="http://www.mobot.org/explore/default.asp">The Missouri Botanical Gardens</a> on Saturday and then to the <a href="http://www.stlzoo.org/">St Louis Zoo</a> on Sunday. Below are a few of my favorite shots of the weekend. To view the full size image, click on the photo. Blogger has cut the left side of the images off... grrrrrrrrrrr... and I can't figure how to fix it!<br />

My entry is of one of the "moodiest" lil guys I know. He can go from happy to pi**ed in 2 seconds flat! He skipped right over the terrible twos and landed smack dab in the middle of the trying threes (although he's not quite three just yet). He is seen in this shot contemplating whether to smile or scream! Thank all that is good that this phase generally doesn't last for long. I think the moods of a toddler are one of the most "dramatic" things life holds.<br />

Can someone tell me what the fascination little boys have with sticks is all about? All sticks, twigs, branches etc are quickly turned into weapons becoming swords or "swipe baybers" (bless his heart he still can't say light saber) used to slay all munsters and bad guys in the Indianapolis Metropolitan area. At least I can sleep peacefully knowing the dragons have been slain by my littlest knight!<br />

There have been many changes in the land of Gams and now that life is settling into a more comfortable routine, I can finally pick up my camera and blog once more. <br />
<br />
My daughter, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/monkeysjump/">Monkeys Jump</a> (aka Leia) and I recently attended and photographed the wedding of her dear friend Megan from high school. Leia was also a bridesmaid - talk about multi-tasking! Brian and I took the shots of the ceremony and any that Leia had to be in while she took the gorgeous posed photos (we had 4 Nikon cameras between us not mention misc lenses). I am including a few of the photos below. Leia did all post-processing as she is the Photoshop guru of the family (and has a much better eye than me) while the shots are a mixture of those taken between the three of us.<br />
<br />
I'll be visiting with Dejah and the boys later today so will hopefully have a few shots of my fellas posted soon. They are getting to be so big! "Mr Concweet's" fan club has done without news of his shenanigans for far too long!<br />

</div>I spent the last two weeks in St Louis visiting my eldest and her husband. While there, we took a few day trips to places we had not been before. The weather was freakishly warm (80 degrees in November for goodness sake) so we took full advantage and had some wonderful adventures. I'll provide more details and photos in posts to come.<br />
Below are a few images I shot at the <a href="http://www.butterflyhouse.org/default.aspx">Butterfly House </a>in Chesterfield, MO. This was my first butterfly house experience - I had no idea how breathtakingly beautiful a thousand butterflies in one location could be! There is a butterfly exhibit at <a href="http://www.indianapoliszoo.com/content.aspx?cid=1358">The Hilbert Conservatory</a> in Indianapolis and it is now on the top of my "need-to-see" list! <br />
There is simply no way to capture the experience "on film," but the images will serve nicely as a reminder. I hope you enjoy!!<br />

My sister-in-law originally planned the party at a local indoor recreation facility but upon hearing the weather report, she quickly moved it outside. It was an unbelievable 70 degrees (in November... in Indiana) !! There is a wonderful play park in Oaklandon that gave the little ones hours of fun! I have quite a few photos to process and will post more as I get them done. Niko is the only one I can easily catch when he's on the run, so I tend to get more shots of him - I'm sure it won't be long before he, too, will be able to outrun Gams. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the<br />

There are 3 little rays of sunshine that come shining through the darkness to illuminate even the blackest of days.<br />

The Nikoman is enamored of all things Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Robin, Power Rangers etc. He gleefully runs through the house with his cape (whatever piece of clothing he can find to tie around his neck) just flying. He most often refers to himself as Batman - and Gams is his loyal sidekick Robin. My front room is now the "bat cage" and we spend many hours looking for the "bat car" or "hellicopper." The imagination of this 2 year old is a wonder to behold!<br />

Jalen and Dylan recently celebrated their birthdays. Jalen turned 8 on the 8th and Dylan turned 5 on the 10th - both in September. They will likely spend the majority of their childhood with combined parties and they seem to be okay with that. Dejah and Joe put on quite a bash this year with face painting, cupcake decorating, tons of outdoor and indoor games, balloon decorating and quite the appetizer buffet. Both sides of the family gathered at their beautiful home in Ingalls and a good time was had by all. Auntie Leia drove all the way from St Louis to attend - she's been there for every birthday, including the very first one!<br />

My words and photos have taken on a rather "grey" cast these days - much like the cold, rainy weather this Fall has been. I have only been whispering into the interwebs lately, visiting my blog friends as a quiet observer without much to say. Today, however, I am prompted by motherly pride to break my silence!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/">Pioneer Woman</a> is one of the first blogs I discovered (thanks Leia!). I sat quite a spell that first visit...reading, laughing, gaining weight just looking at the recipes, and adoring the images she captured of her "punks" and life down on the ranch. Her photography page is one of my favorites and I look forward to each new post. She has recently started a "photography assignment" feature and subsequent page on flickr where her readers can post their photos. I admit to flooding that pool during her portrait assignment! She then takes some of her favorite images from the pool and features them on her blog. Her most recent assignment was to post "texture" photos. Images that have been post processed with textures added via Photoshop or perhaps some other digital media program. As I was browsing through her photos of note, there was a particular image and name that literally JUMPED off the screen at me! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/monkeysjump/">Monkeys Jump</a> had a photo posted on The Pioneer Woman!!!!!!!!! (For those who don't know, I have 2 beautiful daughters and Monkeys Jump -aka Leia- is my first born - Dejah is the youngest and the giver of grandchildren) The little poop didn't even tell me she had posted anything to the pool so while I was browsing the gorgeous images it nearly took my breath away at the familiar photo I saw! This is the second image of Leia's that Ree has admired. The first was this one entered over at I Heart Faces the week that Ree was judging.<br />
So... she did it again.<br />
Congrats baby girl!!!<br />

He looks like he just went a few rounds with Apollo Creed! I'm going to teach him to scream, "Adriannnnnnnnnn!!!" and if I manage to capture that on video, I'll be sure to post it (I know, I'm so wrong in many ways - a Gams with a camera can be a dangerous thing). In the meantime, enjoy the video and pics below!<br />

He managed to pull a heavy oak stool-height chair down onto his face. He was simply trying to get up from the floor and some how things went awry. First he fell back and hit the back of his head on the tile floor. If that wasn't bad enough, the chair then fell on top of him hitting him square on the nose! Needless to say there was a lot of screaming (probably as much from my daughter as Niko), swelling, bleeding etc. While Dejah isn't one to run the boys to the doctor for every little thing, this particular injury warranted a "look see" to ensure that no serious head injury was involved. Thank God it was nothing serious and we were sent home after 2 hours of Niko entertaining the ER with his very nasal commentary on everything and everyone. As we left he cheerfully waved and said, "buh-bye, people!"<br />
I only have one question....<br />
Why is it always his face??!!!!! If this keeps up, he'll certainly be known as "the boy without a face!"<br />

Blue is one of my favorite colors and I just happen to have the cutest little guy with the brightest blue eyes! This weeks entry was the easiest choice of all my entries to date. I can't decide which is more stunning - his eyes or the blue of his Colts attire. I only wish the background had been better - I could have gotten a more satisfactory crop! I did bump the blue levels and brightness just a bit in post-processing.<br />
<br />
I'm anxious to see if there will be any other "Colts Blue" entries. Click the link below to check out all the blueness!!<br />

I'm lucky if I manage to get more than one of them in the frame at once! I took this photo of the Dillybar while he was playing "Spy Kids" with his brother.

He will sit and strum to the music playing in his head... eyes closed, with a look of pure rapture on his face - yep, I think he's the one.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4-su7R0TzPh4-Fy51ZF8LZYtlnExY-HpQ9LexVsy49QIcKcRrimzvZyvX8xZO1TrJZX8fvAHCZaBOemyeJ6awQuS6NMWd1EgpQT8QMMrc0aLlL1ct4tp-NSpPgvooBdsInu6PfKc48VY/s1600-h/3907525845_3d17f08866_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4-su7R0TzPh4-Fy51ZF8LZYtlnExY-HpQ9LexVsy49QIcKcRrimzvZyvX8xZO1TrJZX8fvAHCZaBOemyeJ6awQuS6NMWd1EgpQT8QMMrc0aLlL1ct4tp-NSpPgvooBdsInu6PfKc48VY/s400/3907525845_3d17f08866_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380003494644688594" /></a><br /><br />This old guitar taught me to sing a love song<br />It showed me how to laugh and how to cry<br />It introduced me to some friends of mine<br />And brightened up some days<br />It helped me make it through some lonely nights<br />Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night<br /><br />This old guitar gave me my lovely lady<br />It opened up her eyes and ears to me<br />It brought us close together<br />I guess it broke her heart<br />It opened up the space for us to be<br />What a lovely place and a lovely space to be<br /><br />This old guitar gave me my life my living<br />All the things you know I love to do<br />To serenade the stars that shine<br />From a sunny mountainside<br />Most of all to sing my songs for you<br />I love to sing my songs for you<br />Yes, I do, you know<br />I love to sing my songs for you<br /><br />Words and music by John Denver<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m__yVh5h3e0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m__yVh5h3e0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Indy Cookiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720071528285363567noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865032081395735673.post-61033025848773652832009-08-30T10:54:00.004-06:002009-08-30T11:06:28.444-06:00Splish Splash, He Loves Taking A BathI've never met a child that didn't LOVE bath time and my 3 boys are no exception. Geeko, however, would spend his entire day in the tub if we let him. He asks, "Unna takey baf?" numerous times throughout the day. Some days it is just easier to let him splash his cares away - plus it gives Gams and his Auntie Leia some cute photo ops!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieovtBFVfWqduQtZw8VjcwudN8zR05L9E31eD5Y-CT6wKusvrzvpwMFN0dbnMrSxVrFG1Wdgx-hXO3uVvrJQ10LWtoJhmg-2G71HQapxOBYrWxW-LImrFniOZ5KADoAatfkFxnuJ3YbJQ/s1600-h/3864993415_be25704ae6_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieovtBFVfWqduQtZw8VjcwudN8zR05L9E31eD5Y-CT6wKusvrzvpwMFN0dbnMrSxVrFG1Wdgx-hXO3uVvrJQ10LWtoJhmg-2G71HQapxOBYrWxW-LImrFniOZ5KADoAatfkFxnuJ3YbJQ/s400/3864993415_be25704ae6_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375803464053914098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTp2UwP0K6Z2I7fYSNdrL0_mL57xLv3vscjcV4QczovCOwF9tOIvhLgb88hwl8UcoKNX2JFM3wh2VkIJQOWkxYyE2zsWl0OJHoxaqNxJNPhqLMYCH2q5PrfvG47rj-AD59ln8Qrf-9B98/s1600-h/3865777552_f637f9b516_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTp2UwP0K6Z2I7fYSNdrL0_mL57xLv3vscjcV4QczovCOwF9tOIvhLgb88hwl8UcoKNX2JFM3wh2VkIJQOWkxYyE2zsWl0OJHoxaqNxJNPhqLMYCH2q5PrfvG47rj-AD59ln8Qrf-9B98/s400/3865777552_f637f9b516_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375803450652170050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmB1KLtzIbM6oxXc8woh4KdlllEWTtx_3IbNfjINmB-m8TnSs85XKArRvnAsV0CKhcKXZ8zy_D_XGCtlNutKfkBfEMSeoSVBeBcFoCvBy0i4VGUMuEWETb8wU3mEXwLoRQpsjRO36si8/s1600-h/3865787752_ca81c9205d_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmB1KLtzIbM6oxXc8woh4KdlllEWTtx_3IbNfjINmB-m8TnSs85XKArRvnAsV0CKhcKXZ8zy_D_XGCtlNutKfkBfEMSeoSVBeBcFoCvBy0i4VGUMuEWETb8wU3mEXwLoRQpsjRO36si8/s400/3865787752_ca81c9205d_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375803440021269266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz8hJwVvQDwU2AjIqG-47HaYgYeeZGPTaOYVh7Hhbi80MSoP0CZweIia3xTSeT40lTVfKPng977pLPjIF_iF8K2sMIaBaGW_-RekB4ZyR2S8XvPHFDoEU-F7cmFKol_oZfaUOyD3tGRjI/s1600-h/3368228374_0e52c8590d_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz8hJwVvQDwU2AjIqG-47HaYgYeeZGPTaOYVh7Hhbi80MSoP0CZweIia3xTSeT40lTVfKPng977pLPjIF_iF8K2sMIaBaGW_-RekB4ZyR2S8XvPHFDoEU-F7cmFKol_oZfaUOyD3tGRjI/s400/3368228374_0e52c8590d_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375803434546401410" /></a>Above photo by <a href="http://http://monkeys-jump.blogspot.com">Monkeys Jump</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb4d-efvFuvvhQihP74V-HBM3ZKHB_3_EWd_7kz4DnLChFF8JdarxNEXChyphenhyphenOT7GTna1Bj7prgvbjiBnCvmPyFLUDFvMzva1RFoWeOCeeI1fa82liRhcEbKxPbxhe1CtywwEHiJg8ileRo/s1600-h/3277186807_780873fd35_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb4d-efvFuvvhQihP74V-HBM3ZKHB_3_EWd_7kz4DnLChFF8JdarxNEXChyphenhyphenOT7GTna1Bj7prgvbjiBnCvmPyFLUDFvMzva1RFoWeOCeeI1fa82liRhcEbKxPbxhe1CtywwEHiJg8ileRo/s400/3277186807_780873fd35_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375803420315590018" /></a>Above photo by <a href="http://http://monkeys-jump.blogspot.com">Monkeys Jump</a>Indy Cookiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720071528285363567noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865032081395735673.post-79311815148383565492009-08-26T15:37:00.003-06:002009-08-26T15:50:47.702-06:00BrothersMy goodness would you look at those faces!!!?
