new stuff

New around here:
Joy school! Bekah loves joy school! And this semester we have quite the group with 6 kids!

Andrew has found his toes, and is completely fascinated with them.

Rachel is busy busy busy with school and reading. That girl loves books. She reads Jack and Annie (thanks to Aunt Martha!) Junie B. Jones, and the Boxcar Children series, and I don't think there's enough books in those series to keep her reading until Christmas.

And sweet Alyssa, she misses her sisters when they are off and away. But when they're around, she plays hard. Here's one of her at the park on our recent day off from school...

You got some great shots! Super cute. I swear your bokeh is more distinct lately. Did you get a new lens?

Thanks, I did get a new lens. It's a 50mm f/1.8, not too fancy with no zoom, but it has a great DOF and is crisper than the one that comes with the camera...I do like that I can take pictures in my house. My house tends to be pretty dark, so yeah!

Magic Tree house is fun. A few more to try are A to Z mysteries, Bailey School Kids, Flat Stanley, Amelia Bedelia. Have fun reading Rachel.
