Tennis

Guess which new sport the kids are participating in now........tennis!!! They are taking lessons at the Auburn Racquet Club and are loving it.

Brie took a few lessons last year somewhere else, but this was Adam's first attempt. Both kids have been doing really well and have moved up levels already. They are so excited by that!!!

Two of their lessons have been cancelled because of rain so today was a make-up day. They had a parent-child tournament!! Poor Adam got saddled with me most of the time, but he still had fun. :) It will be fun to go out as a family and practice now!!

Here they are before warm-ups this morning.

Pool pics

I know I haven't put any pictures of the pool project on here and people keep asking me for them -- so, they are now on Facebook if you want to see them.  Blogger and photos doesn't always work for me, so I decided to go the easier route.  Hop on over there if you haven't already!!! :)

Adam's Wreath


Check out this awesome wreath Adam made at school!! He says it was a lot of hard work to make, but it turned out beautifully. Nice job! And it adds a very festive touch to our closet door.

Keep checking back :)

I've added a few more of Barb's photos, so be sure to go back and look at the latest submissions!!  She's almost all the way caught up now!

Day 30 - Self-portrait

This is the last day!!!  We made it through a month of photos! :)

I actually took this shot on the first day, but decided to save it for the last day because it shows what I've looked like for the last month. ;)

Jeni and I have decided we'd like to do this again in the spring so hopefully we can get a few more of you to join us the next time.  It's lots of fun and really makes you think about how and when to take photos. :)

Day 28 - Flowers

This isn't the best time of year to get shots of flowers so I went back into my old pictures and found some that I liked.  Of course, I couldn't pick just one so here are some of my favorites!! :)







(Okay, I may have gotten a little carried away!!)

Day 27 - From a distance

Yesterday I left my house at 7:30 in the morning and didn't get home until almost 11:00 last night so I didn't get a chance to post yesterday's challenge.

Here it is:

Day 26 - Close-up

I realized today that I need a macro lens and tomorrow I'll need a telephoto lens.  How am I supposed to do these challenges without the proper equipment?! ;)  I guess that's just more stuff to add to my Christmas list!!!  Here's today's photo:
