Sunday Snapshot {Volleyball}


The first photo was shot 2500-ISO, Shutter 1/160 and aperture of 2.8. No flash, Manual.
The D700 is known for being able to shoot at high ISO's.. I have never really tested that until today. I was really pleased with how in focus the majority of my shots were!! My ISO's today were from 2500-5000! In-door gym with no natural light. This is why I

FINALLY!!!!!!

Curls!!!!!

A Mini Photo Shoot with Ruby!
This week's assignment is going to be challenging. So I will be calling on my resident professional, Ainsley to help me! I look forward to sharing some pictures of "The Pearl" soon! She has been a busy girl!!

We Are Celebrating Over Here!!

"A Good Good Day!"
When Emme wakes up she will usually ask one of us? "Is this a Good Good day?" What she is really asking us is, "Do I get to go to school today?" I am not sure why, but this is how she refers to her pre-school! When we drive by it, she will say "Good Good Day!" When we pull onto the exit that takes us to school on Thursdays and Friday's she will light up, and squeal, "It's a Good Good day!" Her precious enthusiasm about most things is contagious! Life is truly "GOOD" when Emme Jade is a part of it...
On a separate note, I got a very sweet note from Emme's orphanage this week.. They wanted to know how she was doing. The nannies wanted us to know they miss her very much! I completely understand why they do.. It is a blessing that they loved her enough to let her go. We are so thankful for the caregivers that raised our sweet girl for three years! Their impact on her has made all the difference in her first eight months home! Here was their note to Emme, translated by our sweet friend, Jeanne in Yangzhou: "Emme, we wish you healthy forever!" We will continue to keep in touch with Yangzhou. And, you never know.. Perhaps one day we will get to go back and share our special "little bean" again with her first family! I hope so!

Spring Break!

Georgia Grace - Part II
Orders will start getting placed at 10:00am today by Kristen.
Kristen has asked me to help her with another trunk show! They are launching Part II of "Playground Diaries" tomorrow! For those of you who ordered last time, thank you!! I know there were some hiccups with out of stocks, etc.. They are a new company, and people are starting to take notice of how cute their clothes are!!! So, if you want something from this line tomorrow, shop early! There are going to be 8 new pieces that coordinate with the 1st launch. Everything I received from Playground Diaries I is adorable!! This is Emme Jade in the "CeCe" dress which I love! It's pretty short on her, so we are using it as a super cute top!! In most cases I find the sizing for GG to be true to size. Emme wears size 2, Ruby wears size 5, and Sienna wears size 6.
Here is a link to Georgia Grace's blog.. Their owner, has written about the launch, and what you can expect. They are going to offer monogramming if you are interested.. And, if you ordered last time, your shipping will be free!! They are telling you to expect 4 weeks delivery this time!
Here is the link to the Georgia Grace Website.. Some of the items are posted already... I think you are all going to want/"need" those Olivia Ruffle pink shorties!!!!!
If you have specific questions, reach out to Kristen Cook, the Trunk Keeper. You will need to email her directly at: kristen@georgiagracedesigns.com. To order, email her what you want, and she will connect with you for payment. Let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to help! You can also connect with Kristen Cook on Facebook!
