Playing with Shutter Speed/Random Family Pictures

Howdy, Folks!!
Well, now that my dear Uncle Quint (who is an amazing photographer) showed me what shutter speed and aperture is, and an slight idea of how to use it, I've been having so much fun playing with the settings on the camera!! This is super great for me, 'cause I've never been able to get a picture in dim light with out it being a huge blurr. I've got a million miles to go on getting a really great picture, but every inch if the way is exciting. Here's my darling victim, who was an angel and agreed to stop what she was doing and pose for me...isn't she beautiful!?
And lastly, here's a curtain-kind of random, but the light coming through the lace was so pretty!

Anyway, here are a few more random pics of the clan!!
Have a blessed day, everybody!! As for we girls and Mom's day, Lord willing, it's off to Tallahassee for shopping, Joann-ing (yah, we're in there for hours!!) and taking a little meal over to the F. family, who just had a precious little baby boy the other day!! Praise God!! We can't wait to see him and Mrs. Ronda and everybody-I know he's a sweetie, knowing his mom and his fam. Oh, by the way, if I find something really cool at the goodwills/consignment shops we go to, I'll have to post it to show you girls! I just love looking at people's finds! So fun.

Anyway, bye, y'all!

Love, Adeline Dorothy and Andrew by the lake... Wesley and Rachel' house is coming along! The famous see-saw! Darth on her speedster. ;)A white cotton field with the sun setting on it, one of the most beautiful things in the world... Martha at church, with all the precious little girls around her that love her so...

Edwin and his amazing tower!! ;)

The cabin is almost finished! It's so beautiful!!

A Look into Our Day

Hey, Folks!!
Here's a peek into our day and around the farm, this past Thursday. Sorry I'm just now getting around to publishing it-enjoy!
Here's the view from our front door, containing the precious little bit of Fall-ish color on our place!! See, isn't it pretty!? It's gotten more vibrant since Thursday, and we enjoy it so much! The little white specks down there are fluffy sheepies. Now, here in the front yard is a darling Bretski amongst the toys, looking adorably puzzled, LOL..he looks like he's pondering which toy to try next...I think he'll go with the bike. Katie dear is very elegantly reading as she watches her two boys play outside...such a sweet sister, aunt, daughter, wife and mother. And here's La-Munchskin 2 doing his precious "sniffle" face, an expression that he is paid highly for doing on cue-by the way, this is copy written, so you know. ;)
Cozy Coop Ronnie The roses are blooming beside the porch. Y'all, these lovely things smell soo good! Autumn sky Here's Wesley in the front yard trying to jump off a car or truck or two...we're the kind of folks who jump off our car with the neighbors truck to go to the shop and pick up our other car, which we're temporarily using 'till we can get the other one fixed. ;) Really, it's been such a blessing lately to have reliable vehicles! Just these two faithful slaves have now died on us, but I think they're back and running again, thanks to Wes...God has always been so kind to give us cars to get us around in, and even their breaking down at times has only given us more funny stories to tell the grand kids one day!!

Now over here are Kressy's we find sleeping grand babes and the lovely lady herself doing laundry!Mikey sleeping sweetly

Little Bit {Humm...the book must have been boring... ;) oh, and check out those rolls!! Mr. Fluffy!} Downstairs in the barn, Cleveland works on the stairs-looking great! And here's Michael clipping the field-All that grass mowing made the farm smell like freshly cut hay..ahhh... And I was taking pictures, LOL. I love mirrors. They're so fascinating. Mirrors used to entertain us kids for hours, with all the neat angles you can get with them. I love it when you turn two of them at that certain angle, and you can see a 'you' for as far as your eye can see, and you get smaller and smaller 'till you're gone...I showed this wonder to Mikey the other day, and he wasn't as impressed with it as I was when I was a child!! We were simple little girls. :)
Alan, Darth and the little boys were all looking at something interesting on the computer...
And Marth was upstairs knitting! She's so gifted at that. Look, isn't this beautiful!? The kaki is so pretty. And over at Rachel's house, I found her and her darling baby re-organizing her home! Wesley had built her shelves that morning, and she was getting everything looking so nice and neat.

And our precious Daddy and Mama were out of town, and we were missing them so much-but they're back now!! Just got in last night. It's soo wonderful to have our darling parents home again. Anyway, Hence the absence of their pictures in this post. :)

Well, ta-ta for now, folks! Have a great day.

"Proper Hatage"

...As our dear Andrew calls it, was the order of the afternoon after we found our find of the year at Goodwill-Aren't these old hats just precious! Especially on such cute little men.
Beside the old Chevy
"Blue hat, green hat, black hat, gray,
Which hat should I choose to wear today?" This was a little blurry, but they were all laughing so sweetly!! Cheese! Sideways Smile

Story Time...

The other day I walked into the girl's room, and found this scene. How precious. What a wonderful sister Martha is!! She's such an inspiration. And what a gift of story-telling she has! She keeps all her little listeners spell-bound, and they're always begging her to tell them another "Opie Story, Martha!!" :)
We love you, Marth, and all your wonderful tales! Thanks for being such a great sis to us...
