Andrew the Orator

Andrew had a school performance on "Being Green." No, not the Kermit version.  He even had a speaking role telling us not to water our lawn too frequently (preaching to the choir, buddy).  He did great!  Could you tell which child he was just by the footwear?

Hiking with Matthew

Some time ago I took Matthew to the Lake Waco Wetlands to go for a walk and check it out.  We had a blast. I explained what a bird blind was to him and he wanted some animals to show up right then and there. I then had to explain what being quiet was. He tried so hard, but could only manage about a minute or two.

Easter pics

OK, Andrew and I set up the Easter pics.  I neglected to consider one little detail -- I was going to be in the shots.  Everything was set up pretty well, but I cropped my own head out of most of the images.  The only one I'm framed in is the goofy shot.  Go figure.

Test model

Andrew gets a little bored.  Whenever I set up a shoot, he's my test model.  I try to make it interesting, but there's only so much I can do when I'm just taking the same photo over and over again until I get it right.

Finishing the egg decorating

I got a little behind with my traveling last week.  Here's the last of the egg decorating with Matthew in one of his favorite shirts.

That's right, Andrew.

Just do what comes naturally.  If the spirit moves you to dance, you just have to dance!

Matthew "Communing" With Nature

Yeah, we might need to work on his appreciation of the natural world.
