Seaside and Kooza
We started our fifth anniversary celebration at Seaside for an overnight stay to enjoy the beach, one of Jennilyn’s favorite places. We visit Cannon Beach quite often and Seaside is generally a stop we make on our way back from Oysterville to pick up a snack. When we decided to spend our anniversary at a beach, we realized Seaside would offer us something different yet familiar. I love that the beach is far enough away to be a “get-away” but that we don’t spend a majority of our time in the car driving to our destination.

Lost and Found
Have you ever had a song come on the radio just once and you loved it but couldn’t remember it. You listen to the same channel again and again hoping it comes back on and it doesn’t?

Happily Five Years After
We’ll have to make a stronger effort to take photos of our everyday lives for our next anniversary. Each anniversary, I sit down and look through the photos from the last year as well as blog posts to see where God has taken Jennilyn and me. As an observation of the obvious, ever since Kadie was born, most of our photos have been about her. Then about both kids after Violet was born. Our lives are very much involved with our kids, as it should be, but I hope that we get more photos of only Jenni and me next year, as this blog is called davidandjennilyn.com right?

E-mail Daddy
While I was away at An Event Apart 2010 Seattle web conference for a few days, Kadie pulled up a stool to the printer and imitated sending me an e-mail with our printer. What a thoughtful daughter.

Happy Easter
Here is a closeup of the Easter Eggs we dyed Saturday morning. Kadie had a grand time putting stickers on while we created multi-colored eggs.

MAX and Us
This is the MAX we rode home after a nice dinner at Typhoon. We had a lovely vegetable with rice noodle dish and green curry with chicken.
I’m thankful for the transit system in Portland as it allows us to have one car for our family. Vernier provides an annual pass so I can ride the MAX for free to work everyday, which gives me a little exercise, reduces air pollution, and saves us money from wear-and-tear on our car.

Warm Sunrise
Sunrise and sunset really are the golden hours of photography. I’m sure Tri-Met would not have been happy to see me trekking near the tracks on loose rocks to get this shot. Thankfully, I timed it right so there were no trains to blow their horns at me.
I increased the dynamic range of this photo by using the automatic exposure bracket function which took three successive shots, one underexposed, one as set, and one overexposed. This allowed me to get a well-exposed shot of the sky as well as some detail in the creek in the foreground.
Sometimes, I read about a function which all I do is tuck away in my memory—because it could come in handy someday. And today was that someday.
