Duane sent this pic over to me and I played with it in Photoshop. Very fun! Which is your fav? Let's get a vote.

Duane here! I decided to tryout some landscape photography at Roxborough State Park. It was 22 degrees when we arrived and the fog hadn't dissipated until later in the morning. I really like this shot because it appears as if the rock formations are damming up the fog.

I really should be sleeping right now, but this is too fun, plus Duane is out of town and I tend to stay up late when he's not here (though I pay for it in the morning when Kalvin gets up early).

Last week as I was over at my in-laws house letting the kiddo play outside, I noticed the trees had lost most their leaves (isn't it funny how fall doesn't hit in AZ till January) and had the brilliant idea to get the grandkids together for an exciting playing in the leaves, photoshoot. Good times! I think I had a better time than some of the kids though.

Adaira could hardly stay out of the leaves long enough for us to rack them back into a pile. Anyone could see how much she loved this game of throwing the leaves up to let them rain down on top of her. She is a darling little girl. That same day I saw her pick up a dandelion, pause while looking at it and say, "I wish to be a princess!" Then she blew and blew till all that was left was a bald stick. Then, she looked up to see another dandelion which she was thrilled to find, ran and picked it from the ground and without a moments hesitation said, "I wish to be Sleeping Beauty" as she blew with all her might. How precious!

Duane, Kalvin and I went to the Doctors office to see my ultrasound on Dec. 23. We are having another BOY and are all very excited! Just now I pulled out the CD the technician gave me of the ultrasound and realized each image was saved as a "jpg". I kept putting off looking at the pictures because I thought they'd be in some strange format since every time I've had been given x-rays on a CD they've been unreadable. Anyway, here are a couple of my fav's of Baby Boy Ellsworth!

A couple days after Christmas the Mickelson family got together and had family pictures. It was cold, but we had a good time especially since there was dinner after! Thank you all for your support and especially for your patience! Here are a couple shots that jumped out as being exceptional.
