It was Sunday morning and I had finished bathing both children and myself (a much more complicated task that one might imagine). I was in the bedroom changing when I heard Win saying, “Hi baby” repeatedly. I went onto the living room and this is what I found. I guess the phone was for Harriet. 
My parents came for a visit this weekend. Win really bonded with them when he stayed with them when Harriet was born. They have all sorts of little games that they play. My dad started shouting, “Baaa!” to Win at random times. It would really startle him and make him giggle uncontrollably. And that’s how my dad got dubbed, “Baa” instead of Grandpa. When they left Win waved and said, “bye-bye Baa” repeatedly.
Here’s my mom with Harriet. 
There’s a bumper sticker that says it all: Cameras don’t shoot people, I shoot people.(or something like that)Basically, good pictures are primarily in the photographer, not the camera. Good equipment sure makes a difference, but there are many simple tips and tricks that are even more important than the camera.If you are looking for better photographs put this on your Christmas list.MeRa Koh, an amazing photographer in Seattle, created this DVD for moms. Check it out. Even if you are still going to get a new camera add this to your basket. It’s well worth the $30, which is much cheaper than a new camera.Click here for the DVD.
Lately, when we take Win outside to play he begs to be lifted into the bed of our 1986 Mazda B2000 pickup. He loves to play and point from that vantage. There are many things that he does in there. Like…
…drop leaves…
…look around…
…and, chill. Doesn’t he look REALLY cool?
In case you didn’t know, Win is a junior firefighter.
Win has been learning adjectives lately. Among his favorites 1, 2 and 5 (5 means anything more than 2), orange and blue, neat and cool, and especially hot and cold. When Win is disobedient we put him in his crib for a minute or two as punishment and to calm down. Lately, when we put him in for his time-out he has been repeatedly shouting, “co bubba peas!” (translation: cold drink please)He feels that it’s his right to have a cold drink while serving time.
Harriet was 1 month yesterday.
How do they compare?
