This week has been fun, albeit my bout with the Martian Death Flu. We did brave a trip into DC earlier in the week and are going back today. The trips are brief and I don't over exert myself (this is why it is so great being so close to The District!).
I thought, though, that I would share some fun photos of some of our adventures thus far...
We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Here, Ben and Micah struck a pose for me (I was being an "old lady" and sitting on the floor, resting). I think it is so great that they are so close. They are two years apart in age, but everyone thinks that they are twins because they are so close.
Micah is so animated, pretty and funny! She is shy at first, then that sparkling personality just bursts forth! I think that she was talking to her friend Laura here. She smiles all the time, though, and is very easy to laugh. She is an absolute joy.
Ben wanted some "cool band photos" with his guitar so I got down on the floor and took them from a different perspective and a larger aperture to narrow the field of focus. It just gives a different, cool perspective.
Micah wanted a cool shot of her hair (she has gorgeous hair) so I took this. I typically bounce the flash when indoors so I can get a warmer, more natural look, but this time I directed it to her so that it highlighted her hair. The effect was pretty cool!
This is just a fun shot of Ben shredding his guitar. He plays the guitar (obviously) and composes his own music. He also writes some amazing songs. Micah writes great stories as well. Guess they both took after their mom in that respect! We are a family of writers!
So, that is our week in pictures (abbreviated version). Maybe I will post more this weekend...
