Some pictures...

I've been playing with my new camera and it is such a totally different ball game to my old Sony DSC-5H, which is a long zoom automatic and by all means take great pictures but not like my Canon 5D! :) The most difficult thing with the Canon is me having to think more *lol* that is hard!!! Also, I'm taking about 100 pictures and if I'm lucky 5 is in focus (pictures of the kids - MOVING!!!) but when I get it right it is worth it! I'm still very lost when it comes to the different settings and tend to go for automatic a lot but feel it is such a shame so I need to work on experimenting more! Any good advise - PLEASE send them my way! Here's a few pics I've managed to get fairly ok ... I've used Christian O'Dell's Lightroom Presets Pack 2, available at Catscrap, to edit them and I've fallen in love with this particular one "Ansel".
This is Freya with her fairy wings, she loves them!!! She's a real girly girl at the moment it is all fairies, princesses and ballerinas.

We had the big pool out over the weekend but all they wanted was this IKEA storage box filled with water and they played in it, TOGETHER, all morning!
Managed to catch Kian in the Kitchen with the sun shining through the blinds creating the shadow lines.

Kian with milk all over his mouth!

Kian in a moment of day dreaming, he looks so grown up!

I couldn't resist this shot of him standing by the windows. You can see how badly he wants to get back out there, it was just too hot, +45C!

His little toes and fingers

It is now exactly 10 days until we fly home for the holidays!!! YAY!!! Can't wait! The kids are going to love being able to be outside playing all day!

PS! Got some very exciting news but can't share anything until Wednesday...

Have a great day!

Where does time go!?

Can't believe it is Wednesday already!!!
Sean is back from his "Boys holiday" to France and the 24 hour LeMans race, yay!!! I have been so busy with the children I have hardly looked at the computer except for some late night scrapping. (To the single mothers out there - you deserve some kind of Nobel price!!!! Hats of to you all!!!)
The boys had a great time and Sean got to see McDreamy "live" (Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy)!!!!! Even managed to get him on a photo - well so he thought but it was only the car and a photo of him!!! He did see him and apparently he was racing for charity, children...aaahhh...makes him even cuter doesn't it just!!!

As you can see Sean was more interested in the car than the driver...

As I said earlier even though I've been flat out I've managed to squeeze in some scrapping at night after putting the kids to bed and got a couple of GSO's @ DST for them and a BOB mentioning as well over at Catscrap!! Yay! Always nice to be recognised!

Have a great day!
