What do you think?

I am working on a new photography project.  I am trying to decide between sepia or black and white.  What do you think?

almost summer days

Living in a townhouse is sometimes wonderful but when it comes to yard space for kids it is lacking.  We do however have a little front patio and spend most of our days out there when the weather is nice.  Yesterday was great weather and we spent most of the day in the front with the hose and the freezing water that came from the hose.  After the kids were shaking and purple we got warm in the sun and big warm towels.   

the newest members of our family

We got Henry some fish this last weekend.  He loves them and loves to feed them.  He named them Big Bird and Cookie Monster (pronounced tookie monster).  Check for future additions in the next coming days.

in search for ants

Henry loves to observe ants and then smoosh them.  Daddy is supervising so that the smooshing doesn't take place.  Jetta just likes to eat them.  I didn't think anyone needed to see a picture of that.
