I've finally become brave enough to attempt taking pictures on the manual modes on the new camera. It is a challenge to me to try to look to see how they are turning out and make the necessary adjustments while keeping my "subjects" happy...in the mood...present (Charlotte just crawls off). I thought these turned out pretty cute even though the perfectionist in me is disappointed that I didn't even think to get matching outfits for the girls. I mean, hello, how many more years do I have where I can convince the sisters that dressing alike is cool? It is only 4th of July people (really just reassuring myself). Man do I have 3 beautiful girls!
Jonah took the girls fishing at the neighborhood pond. His favorite thing to do is fish for bullfrogs. You take a red bobber and wiggle it in the water. Something about the color is so fascinating to the frogs that they can not help themselves but swim after it. This frog that the girls named "Bob" actually swallowed the bobber and was scooped up in a net and brought home. Jonah egged the girls on to kiss it. Although they weren't afraid to hold it, neither really wanted to put their lips on it. Jonah got Stella to hold the pose and just after the picture was taken, Adrianne pushed the frog into her lips! What a pesky sister thing to do! The frog only had to live in our pool for about 5 minutes before it was determined that he would never survive being manhandled by the girls and so he was set free. This frog after all, was only a frog.
We went to visit Daddy at work. I do love having pictures of the girls at the fire station. It will be really cool if one day, one of them becomes a "fire lady" as Stella calls women firefighters. They are so proud of their dad.
