I'm baaaacccckkk....

You know, it has only been a month and a half hiatus.  We were busy buying a house!  Yay us!

Here are the last few pictures with my point and shoot.  After this, I will be showing pictures from my new Nikon D90 :-)
I am also doing some "collages", tutorial thanks to McMama, see here.

Obligatory cute portrait shots of the kid.... (i love portrait photography).  I get such great catchlights from my awesome patio door (sadly, I only have that door for 3 more weeks before we move, then I will have a south facing window, whatever will I do???).

Who knew I had twins?  Ah, gotta have fun playing with photoshop.  I am **still** trying to learn, but am *still* at the beginning stages.  But, I do know a lot more now than I did even 2 months ago!  See?  I've been busy while on my blogging hiatus.

And, just so you guys don't think we don't have some silliness (and random camera grabbing)....

I so rarely actually ever catch these moments on digital media, I have to celebrate when I do, even if they aren't the best photos.  It's life, what is better than that?

In an attempt to find a ~willing~ subject, other than my darling son, the cats often step in.  Here they are REALLY enjoying some catnip last Mother's day.

We had a nice grill out to celebrate a friends graduation.  I really like the sunglasses picture, but I need to play with it in Photoshop to get the vastly underexposed faces up to par with the sky (you know, without it looking totally stupid).  Perhaps I should send this one into FixIt Friday on I heart Faces.  What do you think?  The second one, well, I just like the angles and I like the look on their faces.  He he.

And since this appears to be something of a silly post....
I shall leave you with this, my husbands brother.  I wish we hadn't been standing in such harsh sunlight... but then again, it's capturing life (look closely at what he is holding).  hhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hopefully I won't be away for so long before the next post.  I make no promises since we are packing and moving and cleaning the old place in the space of 3 weeks.  Oh heavens.  I hope I even have time to pick up the camera!
