It’s been fun hearing Kadie say, “Hi Baby,” when she sees her mom’s growing belly. It’s quite adorable—until she sees her daddy’s fat belly and says the same thing.

When we were at the bowling alley last night, Kadie clapped to the basketball game on the television. When she looked at our toy hoop today, she grabbed her ball and looked to me to lift her up.

After assisting her for two dunks, I brought the hoop down from the kitchen cupboard door and let her make her own dunks.

It has gotten extremely cold for us but the blessing was that we have snow! Kadie has been really excited to play in it and we hope everyone affected is keepin’ warm!

When Vernier was promoting the new vision coverage benefit, they handed out gag-gift glasses. I took a picture of myself wearing them with my camera phone and sent it to Jenni. Apparently, it was the funniest picture she had seen of me.

As part of Jennilyn’s birthday party, we took pictures of her and her friends to commemorate the day and also get a little goofy. Thanks to all her friends for being patient while I got my gear set up properly.

After purchasing a silver reflective umbrella as recommended by David Hobby of www.strobist.com fame, I found that I wasn’t very good at getting the light I wanted for portraits. I guess I’m not as good as visualizing how light will reflect off the umbrella and light my subjects. I began to have second thoughts about which type of umbrella I should have ve bought.

Then I read a post on the strobist web site about how David now uses shoot-through umbrellas exclusively, so I had to get yet another umbrella. But I’m glad I did. The shoot-through umbrella is much more intuitive to use for me.
