My Least Photographed Kid

Reed is my least photographed kid. For lots of reasons. We don’t spend as much time together as Gus and me. And, Lena loves the camera a bit more.

Still, we can have a lot of fun together. Especially when I just let him be himself and I try to capture who that is. I am finishing the Snapshots to Art Breakout Session from Clickin’ Moms. This is forcing me to focus on more intentional editing and also consider black and white. These images seemed to naturally lend themselves to that purpose.

(that untied shoe is one of my favorites. It’s very him for Spring 2014.)

I thought it might be interesting to also show you a couple of the same photos but in color. I can’t decide which I like more.

The End of March + Changes

March is over. Phew. Spring is REALLY here. That’s a happy thing.

You’ve probably noticed some changes to the look of A Moose in Moscow. If you haven’t already, well, maybe you’re not too observant. 😉 I’ve changed the overall look and I am doing some adding and rearranging of pages. Everything is still here, but you should notice that the pages are now in drop down menus. I hope to add a new category for each of our adoptions, with a page telling the entire story. But, that will take some time to put together.

I definitely need to do catch up and share more of my March photos.

April Must-Capture List:

  • At least 5 Objects that I touch everyday
  • April Showers (the rain kind)
  • Macro (taking photos of little things– like flowers)

Junie B. Jones

Lena brought a book home from school. She was so excited to tell me all about it. “It’s Junie B. Jones!”

She then proceeded to ask one of her friends if he’d had the pleasure of reading Junie B. yet and then read the first paragraph out loud to me.

Then this happened…

Unfortunately, I’ve been warned about Junie B. Jones and that maybe she’s not the best book friend to have. Lena herself said “Junie says bad words” and someone else described her as “rude”. A quick Google searched also pulled up a book review titled “The Assassination of Junie B. Jones.” Uh-oh. Might be time to find a new book.

Dinner Dates

We have a regular dinner date with some friends of ours. We hit it off with them the first time we met. Gus and Adrian weren’t part of our families yet, so it’s extra fun to see how all of the kids play together now. They get along so well and I’m always thankful for the adult company.

[Lena got these glasses as part of her Sonic Wacky Pack. The suit her. I’m calling her Looney Luna Lovegood, which I consider quite a compliment.

This little man doesn’t always keep up with the big kids, but he enjoys when he does.

As if fun times weren’t enough, I also enjoy the ease of bedtime after all of that running around.
