Lessons Learned

There is a reason I don't like "professionals" looking at my photos. See a normal person looks at a picture and says wow that's a good picture and they appreciate it for what it's meant to be. A captured memory. A professional looks at it and picks at it, tells you what is wrong, and while they might mean well and are truly trying to help you if it was unsolicited advice it can totally come across wrong. I now know that the moon in my photos was overexposed and I need to adjust my f-stop. Does that make my pictures any less special in my eyes NO I still see them as awesome but thanks to someone I don't even know I feel a little less awesome.
Lesson learned: Don't listen to people just think about Noni's moon.

Tonight Lucas went running into his room, fell and hit his face on the front of his Gator. He popped up crying and telling me his nose and head were broke so I gave him kisses and explained to him that was the reason we don't run in the house. Then I saw blood on his nose so I grabbed him up and headed into the kitchen hollering at Judd that he had a bloody nose. Donnie came in to help me and it was about that time I realized it was not blood but in fact was chili from his Frito Pie at supper.
Lesson learned: Make sure you wash your kids face ALL the way off and then you won't be freaked out by dry chili.

Yesterday I bought some used cloth diapers sized XS for Baby Sister. They are so cute and tiny and even have a cut down spot in the front so that they stay off the umbilical cord area. They are pretty bright colors too and I can't wait to use them. Lucas and I stayed in town and when Mama got home we went to JoAnns to look at items I'm going to be needing for Baby Sister's bedding. Afterwards we went back to the house and got Kristina and Daddy and went to Pepe's to eat. While we were there I was talking about the diapers. The subject then moved to the glass bottles I plan to use. Daddy asked why glass and Kristina answered "because they are cool and have that old school look". Daddy then said "you want old school let's talk cloth diapers". Lesson learned: Daddy doesn't really pay attention when his wife and daughters are talking about baby things.

  3. I think your moon is overexposed. But did you see the awesome shine of the moon off of the tree branches. The way they enhance the shine of the noni's moon is really cooooool!! I couldn't get the trees to look the same in my pictures.
