Back to School~Katie and Alice

Shoot in the RAW

For some reason I can't explain but camera was set to JPEG Fine, I have been shooting RAW for a couple of months now and realized today how much I really LOVE RAW. I was just taking snapshots of the kids as we went on our walk, but when I came in and uploaded, there was this darling picture of Felicity and Everett, badly underexposed, with RAW I would have been able to save it, because its a JPEG I won't be able to do much. Lesson learned:) A snapshot is a snapshot,I don't need everything perfect;)

Oh sad news:
I was happily biting into a bite of Pizza at the dinner table, when Katie pointed to my slice and said "ewwww a slug" she was talking about a piece of mushroom that did indeed resemble a slug. I am no longer hungry.

Jo Biden? Really? What a freaking mess.

The Fair and The Circus

We went up to the Skowhegan Fair last week, They had a camel and a zebra and a kangaroo and some wallabies and TWO giraffes! Besides of course the usual collection of farm animals. There was also a small circus that was really pretty awsome. The kids had alot of fun and Joff loved the giraffes of course:)

Guess who is walking! Caleb! He took two steps today!

Hmm well thats it.

Happy Birthday To Me

Alright, I am early, shoot me:)
I'm gonna be 25, not sure how I feel about it, chocolate and lots of presents will help me decide:D

I am not done with my website, I have to add session info, pricing and a about me page (I don't want to write the About me page, I can't I have been trying for a week) but the galleries are up, I have to finish adding pictures to the pet gallery and a few more besides, but overall its presentable, so please check it out and let me know what you think:) its www.kristalatwater.com I will be adding a link on the side. Feel free to email me any suggestions or comments.

Ella is a sweety she is talking up a storm nowadays, sentences even! Its kind of suprising sometimes, today in church I had just picked her up from nursery and we headed out to the lobby, when she piped up "hey its daddy!" lol.

I'm loving my D70, I love the grid in the viewfinder, my D50 doesn't have that, its really nice when composing a picture.

Joff is working on a website, it will be fun he will have games, stories and other stuff on there, plus some of his artwork for sale, if you need a fun picture for your kids room, I'd be looking out for his site, which of course I will link to when its up. I'll post a sample of some of his stuff when I get home.

I'm dreadfully boring I have nothing more to say!

HI!!!!!!!

Relief settles in as things begin to settle down, things are coming together and I am feeling pretty chipper:D

Caleb going to be walking soon, he tried walking today, stood up in the middle of the floor and tried to take a step, it was awsome, soon!
I am such a dunce sometimes, I JUST realized I am going to have TWO one year olds in the house for a month!
Katie and Alice have developed an addiction to Bella Sara cards ( www.bellasara.com) Joff told Katie if she worked hard this week he would pay her and of course you know what she is going to buy! Thats right Bella Sara cards, All I have heard this week is "I Can't WAIT for saturday, I Can't WAIT for saturday!"
Garr you would think I would be full of news, I'm just not.
Oh its cold, at least for August anyway.
My birthday is Monday.
