All pictures were taken at ISO-80, f/22; I only changed the shutter speed.

Fireworks
I know I'm going a little out of order, but I wanted to post a few of my fireworks pictures. So it turns out that there is a reward for working through every mistake and ruined picture that I take in Manual mode, and that reward is a night like this. Happy Birthday, America!

Catching up... in pictures.
I've been writing and rewriting a post that will get us current. However, it takes me so long to compose what I want to say that every day I get more and more behind. And now I'm so far behind that the task of catching up is too daunting. So, instead, I'm going to take a cue from a previous post and just use a collection of pictures to tell the story.
December - A month of baking, decorating, Hanukkah, Christmas programs, Christmas, ice skating, and a really cool exhibit at the National Botanic Garden.
January - A month of finding things to do inside while it's frigid outside. The kids had loads of fun with paper airplanes and new craft projects. We saw our first of many cases of strep this month. And a boy learned the art of shoe-tying.
March - A month of some warmer weather allowed for the first good car washing of the spring and a first visit to the playground. Clara had her first piano recital. Spring soccer started. Eli enjoyed a trip into DC with me to see the beautiful cherry blossoms.
April - A month of soccer, photography, beautiful blooms, an aquarium, a vacation, a preschool recital and a boy turns 6. The photography club I'm in did a 30-day challenge, though I haven't finished... yet. The kid's soccer games kept us busy every Saturday morning and going to RFK to see a professional game is always a treat... especially when it's LA Galaxy vs. DC United. We also went on vacation over spring break to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, which I wrote about here. Eli's preschool recital was very cute. And last, but definitely not least, Lucas celebrated his 6th birthday.
May - A month of more soccer, a visit to the National Cathedral, a walk through Arlington Cemetery, a hot afternoon of fun (including a rock climbing wall), and the end of Eli's first year of preschool.

February - A month of Valentine's Day parties and Clara's 8th birthday. I also witnessed a class of 3rd graders construct the great wall of China out of marshmallows and sugar cubes.

| Happy Birthday to you! |
