playing with more textures—this is the orignal pic with the orton technique:
“father-son moments”…..
a little fun….
“are we done yet???”
like this pic alot…..
thank you aunt cathy for sending a care package for gracen…..to say she loves the bunny would be an understatement…..it hasn’t left her arms the past 2 days……
different pp on this one…..used a gradient map like erika suggested…….i kinda like it….but don’t think i got her ‘vintage rock’ look exactly…..i’ll keep trying…:)
(gradient map)
huge SQUEEZE……
‘oops,….done with this photo shoot, mom….”
“uh-oh…..where’d the bunny go???”
“sweet bunny…..”
and since i haven’t been on theme all week……Here is a SOOC pic—The warm lamplight killed my white balance in these…..very red and very warm—I used a gray card–but, it still didn’t expose quite right….so, thought I’d show my fix….it’s killing me….
how’s the color on this?? lightened with levels, bumped contrast, pulled the color balance slider towards cyan and then towards blue a bit. I’ve looked at it so much–can’t tell what color it is anymore….thoughts?? IT’s driving me NUTS!!! :0
and—in bw……
the little onesie is from target and says “instructions not included”—pretty adorable…… 
I have so many friends who are in the process of adopting right now for the first time…..so excited for them! several are going to ethiopia–sweet janaand jami and becca
can’t wait to see them with their babies! 
can’t wait to hold my sweet little one either…….
daddy and gracen in taiwan….
daddy and gracen yesterday….
blessing beyond blessing…
gracen’s ‘smiley’ face
gracen loved this little horse ride….:) She climbed right on up there all by herself. She is getting so big I can hardly believe it! We started potty training–but with the move coming up, it’s kinda been postponed….but I think she’s ready. (in case anyone was interested…:)
spent the week trying to look for housing and found this beautiful duplex to rent. We still need our house here to sell–so please keep that in your prayers. It was wonderful visiting with the families in the church plant and we are excited to take this step of faith.
