autumn day

 As we spent almost all day outside on Tuesday, I grabbed the camera and was planning on catching some shots of the boys playing in the leaves.  Of course as soon as we made it out the door, Grey made his way down to Adam and Krista's and I was left with this sweet little face. We sat on the deck and watched planes and birds. It's one of my most favorite things to do with him. And if he could express it in words, I think he would say the same. 

As I was capturing this little man's enthusiasm for planes and birds I managed to switch my camera to shoot in RAW. Little did I know it was just the kick in the pants I needed in "photographical venture." I will spare all the details of my photography woes and the defeat in my life but I will say I am going to challenge myself in new ways coming in the near future. Starting with hopefully some professional instruction at some point. I can't imagine what I could learn when I'm not teaching myself!

The following pictures were not shot in RAW but I wanted to post a few from a fun afternoon with friends. And apparently Tucker decided to be still enough for me to get more than a blurry shot of his pretty blue eyes. 

Tucker loves Krista. I mean loves her. His smile is at it's biggest when he sees her and very clearly tries to say her name. She is quite the "little momma" and keeps her eye on him at all times.  I loved watching them play in the tiny pile of leaves I raked. It's the little things that create the most fun.
