Day 142

Jackson is on safety patrol this quarter at school. One of his responsibilities is flag duty. I finally captured him assisting in lowering the American flag.

I had no idea about the devastation in Oklahoma until about 45 minutes ago. I have no words. Once again there is such tragic loss at an elementary school in the blink of an eye. This seems to affect me more now...maybe because I am older...maybe because I have a 4th grader and a 6th grader. I don't know. I do know that I am beyond devastated tonight for all of the surviving residents of Moore, OK.

Day 139

No eventful photos taken here today. I have been prepping the kitchen and banquet area to paint, and I also started painting Emma's tree swing. It rained a lot off and on today...overall just a dreary day. I am so ready for our warm sunshine. We need a serious spring do-over!

Day 138

I wanted to try some photos through a window today. What I got was not what I had envisioned. I didn't really take into account how much would reflect back off of the window I was using. I do like how pretty Emma looks through the window though!

Day 137

Today was Emma's Pre-K Celebration at school...no real graduation, but there was cake and ice cream and of course, tie-dying T-shirts!

ISO 4000 f/3.5 SS 1/2500

My settings are all off...I should have lowered my ISO at the start. Emma won't sit still for very long though so I just started snapping. It's hard to believe that she will start Kindergarten in just three short months!
