TGIF

Well, it's finally Friday! This week has gone by slow, but gone by fast. Weird. Today is one of my good friend's birthdays, so Kensley and I are going to run to the store and pick up a balloon and card and deliver it later this afternoon. I'd like to find her something little to put with it....maybe an ornament for her tree? We'll see! I need to see if we have a store that sells Hallmark things in the town we live in. I don't feel like driving all the way to the mall to pick up an ornament.

I am getting REALLY excited about our flight back home! It's coming up! I can't wait to see all my friends and their babies. It's going to be the highlight of my trip. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures.

Speaking of pictures... I've found a message board that I am ADDICTED to now! It has helped me so much- my pictures are "great" yet, but I'm working on it. I've been shooting in the "Manual" mode, which is a HUGE step for me. :)

Here is a picture from this morning- the lighting isn't right on, but I thought it was adorable of Miss Kensley. She had a mouth full of paper towel and was "hiding" from me. That's one of her games she likes to play now.

Here is a picture from last night. I tried to get some pictures of her with milk & cookies in front of the tree. I'm not too impressed with the natural lighting, but it'll do :)

Here's one I edited.... still, the colors are weird.... what do ya'll think?

Our friends were over (there are three girls... Kensley LOVES playing with them) Anyways, they all tried to get her to smile. I wish we could have had a video of us trying to get her to smile.... not ONE picture did she smile in.... she was really into those cookies!
