This week we had some big moments in our family. A Labor Day party, Joshua’s first day of preschool, and my 31st birthday. (Thanks for all those lovely comments on the birthday post, BTW.) So, anyways, here are a few of the photos I captured from this week!

Emily’s baby boy, Sammy, gets festive at our Labor Day cookout. Don’t you just want to eat him up??

Joshua heading out the door for his first day of preschool. He looks so big! I want to FREEZE TIME! It’s killing me.

My wonderful hubby got me a new (75mm) lens for my Sony Alpha DSLR-300k for my birthday!! Yay!! What a great present! Here are some of the photos I took in my front yard when I was trying the lens out for the first time.

Sunny leaves on our maple tree:

Stuff growing on the ginormous old tree stump in our yard:

My neighbor’s tomatoes on our side of the fence. Often I will see squirrels running across the fence carrying a big green tomato! It is a funny sight!

  1. You’ll love the lens. I got one for us and we use it all the time.

    Great shots! Mine started his senior year this year and I wanted to freeze him. He’s not allowed. LOL

  2. Wow, those nature shots are fabulous. I also like the mushrooms juxtaposed with the trees. Seriously…it has a very cool micro/macro effect.

    I also like that I was able to use juxtapose in an actual sentence.

  3. Great pics!!
    Sorry I missed your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY *much belated*!!

    I love my 75mm lens, can’t wait to see what else you have to share. Weblog is cute!!
