A Week in Quick Review

So many times I've read and heard "Zero out your camera after a 'shoot'."  Usually I do, but not last week.  I had to take a quick picture last week so I changed my setting to jpeg...and forgot to change it back so I have a whole weeks worth of pictures in jpeg and it's DRIVING ME NUTS!  After working with RAW for so long and having all that wonderful data to play with, I have nothing to work with on these pictures and it bothers me.  Anyway, guess I learned my lesson.  Hopefully.

Here are a few pictures in review of our past week...

After a very emotionally up and down day last Friday we went out to the boat park after supper to enjoy some sunshine and de-stress...it was cold, but beautiful.

Brandon was SLAMMING on the boat breaks.

Micah's little legs kicking out of a slide as he tries to get out crack me up every time.

Saturday Bryan took Brandon out to Don and Sally's to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels.  It didn't take long before he was up and going I'm told.  Sunday we went for a walk to the park to give him some more practice. 

Wobbly start.

"Oops, guess I need to watch where I'm going at the same time as riding."

He was getting mad at not being able to get up and going so he started yelling and jumping up and down.  Like the good parents we are, Bryan and I sat on the bench and laughed--it's a good thing he couldn't hear us.  ;)

"Yep, the goal post is still here!"  (The boy on the big bike is a terrible bully!  We've had more then one encounter with him.)

When we got back Bryan lowered the trike to Micah's size.

It won't take long before he's zooming either.

Monday we took a break from grocery shopping and went to the park for a picnic lunch.  I'm excited for June to roll in so we can start our regular park days again.

He looks so old and grown up in this picture.  When did that happen?

The rest of the week was on and off sunny so we spent as much time outside as possible.  The rest of the time was spent trying to catch up from three of us being sick last week.  Thursday I visited a nursery here in town and took pictures of all the beautiful blooms and tables full of flowers--it was fun but another day's post.

Finally, this week's P52 theme was "Still Life".  This is a still life photo representing what much of my outdoor time has entailed.  ;) (Yes, I skipped last week.  One skipped week out of almost half a year though is pretty good, I'd say.)

Blessings on your weekend and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you amazing mother's out there.
