I just have to write a quick one because it is eleven and I promised myself I would go to bed earlier, which believe it or not, is eleven!
We finally broke down and sold Chloe so we could invest some major dough into our business. I am kidding about the Chloe part, but Ryan and I did take a week to pray about it and came back to the table with the same figure in mind soooooooo we took the plunge and made some MAJOR purchases. We feel like the Lord confirmed it to both of us and will give us the means to pay it off. We have not used a credit card in three years so this was pretty huge for us.
The mothership came in. For those photography nerds out there, get your drool bucket. We are now the proud owners of a Canon 5D, Canon 40D, 50mm 1.4, 24-70mm 2.8, 15mm fisheye, and a 100mm macro lens. We also bought a 23 inch flat screen panel Apple display and another Macbook. We got a ton of accessories: battery grips, hand straps, new memory cards, new card readers, a whole bunch of cords I have no idea what they do and other things I don’t know how to describe. The FedEx and UPS guys are my new BFF’s. Anyway….it is all so beautiful to look at and even more impressive to hold. We were spending $300-$500 a month on renting lenses which is RIDICULOUS…..so why not just buy them and make large payments on them and OWN them instead! God is growing Kellan beyond what we could have ever dreamed in just 2.5 years and we could not be more humbled or thankful for God’s provisions for our family as well as fulfilling a major dream of ours.
So we fired off a few shots with the 5D and the new 24-70. I won’t get all nerdy on you, I will leave that for Ryan. Even he leaves me in the dust when he gets talking about the features and camera lingo.
Look at my happy boy. He is sooooo strong. He has figured out that that exersaucer can rock and roll and he goes to town in it. He is laughing so hard in this photo, I wish you could hear his laugh, it is so hysterical. I love this kid, I LOVE THIS KID!!! He has smiley eyes. That is what I call it when the eyes crinkle like this.
He is all thugged out in his hat.
I think it is hysterical that the first thing everyone says when they see Bennett is, “Man he has huge eyes.”
I just don’t get it.
He is like our very own Boston Terrier.
Chloe continues to be my laughter. She has a million faces and can turn on a dime and use them. She exercises the right to be a toddler and can make a nice pitch fit when she doesn’t get her way or god forbid we take her inside.
She is 22 months today. She looks SOOOO much older. I have to remind myself of this when I watch her run like a drunk and lumber up a playground. Her motor skills are right on for her age but her body is the size of a three year old. She is so tall and her face has matured so much.
This is her screeching laugh. I think some days her head may explode in excitement, but it does not.
Bennett making it clear that he is DONE playing.
Chloe is obsessed with this puzzle. It is actually really tricky and she has mastered it. I am not putting an application in for Harvard, but I am really proud of her.
I know everyone says she is the spitting image of me, but I definitely see Ryan in her.
Nerd alert, nerd alert. Chloe loves wearing this little fan around her neck. Now if we could just put Ryan’s inhaler on a string they can wear their necklaces together.
We took pictures of my niece this weekend. It is our b-day gift every year. Every teenager girls dream! She is only 15…but look at her….LOOK AT HER….she is gorgeous! She looks so much older. She has never had a boyfriend either…..just sweet and innocent and looking amazing!
There are many more here.
