rpotd: “enjoying the ride”

Posted in Emotions, Family, Kansas, Kids, Life, Photography, tagged , on May 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

From an evening stroll to Sonic. Daddy tripped the poor guy because Daddy was paying more attention to the camera than to his kid.
Sorry buddy.
Good thing he’s got his mommy there to pick him up when he’s down.

in absentia

Okay, nothing dramatic, but since the semester just ended, I won’t be heading in to work much for the next few weeks. And because we don’t have the internet at home, updates here will be few and quite far between until the end of the month. Feel free to wail and sob loudly for a [...]

Carpool Buddy: If they tell me, “I didn’t do it,” I’m fine, red X, we’re done. No big deal.
Me: No kidding.
CB: Just don’t give me none of this “My latina friend Jeff is channeling my dead uncle.”

rpotd: “fun in the sun”

Posted in California, Family, Fun, Kids, Life, Photography, tagged , on May 7, 2007 | 3 Comments »

Back when I had first learned the terms depth of field and aperture, I also discovered that I had no way of controlling those things in our little point-and-shoot Nikon 3100. Every time it took a picture, the aperture was automatically set for you so that virtually everything was in focus. It was a design [...]

Carpool Buddy: But grammar class, that was something else. I went into altered states in that class.
Me: Uh…what?
CB: No seriously, I entered a state of telepathic rapport with Noam Chomsky! I’M SERIOUS! It was amazing!

rpotd: “trust”

From the road trip/move to Kansas. We stopped along the way in St. George, Utah, to visit the temple there. This was another site that we had driven by without stopping at so many times as we traveled between California and BYU. Given that we wouldn’t be passing by this way again for a long [...]

rpotd: “welcome to our home 3″

When we found out that we had closed on our home, we went out and bought 3 of the most amazing welcome mats I’ve ever seen. Yes, it was an impulse buy. No, we don’t regret them. You can see the other two here.
And because the label on the back of the mats influenced our [...]

rpotd: “mugging for the camera”

Taken while sitting in a train coach at Day Out with Thomas, a crazy, toddler-filled day of fun and trains, as you might imagine.

rpotd: “a little shy”

Today’s random picture comes from near the beginning of our big move from California to Kansas. We stopped in Baker, home of the World’s Tallest Thermometer, to fill up, get a strawberry shake, and finally take some pictures of the big thing. We’d driven past it who knows how many times going from Utah to [...]
