How big is the world

This photo has been getting a lot of attention on flickr, so I thought I'd post it here. I like it, but I'm really surprised by the reaction because I didn't post it thinking it was anything all that great. Ben says that it's the way the perspective works with the title, that she looks so tiny and the world looks so vast. Anyway, it seems to strike a chord with people, so tell me what YOU think!

Will's swimming lessons

That's him swimming like that! I couldn't beleive how easily he remembered it all from last year.







He's happy to be at swim lessons.









That's him with his face down in the water like that! Wow!








Look at that kick splash! 

Curiosity

This is my most popular photo on Flickr, and I can see why. I decided to play with it and make one of those motivational posters. I like the way it turned out! View it larger here.

The other day he started realizing he hadn't been playing baseball for a while and he missed it. So we all went outside and he and daddy played for a while. Will got to be the pitcher for a while, too. I have some pictures of that on my flickr, which often has updates that I don't always get to post on here right away.

Anyway, he made contact on this one pretty good. This is a setting on my camera I'm just starting to try out. It worked out really cool in this one, though.

Oh, yeah. Another few years of Greg, Anthony, Jeff and Murray. I can't wait.

This is a new development for her, but she is really into them now...*sigh*

Geez, dad, if you wanted to see them that badly, you could have just ASKED...

She's looking at me like "a little help here? Just a little? someone?"

It was a hot day when it started to rain. She wanted very badly to go outside in it -- after all, she is definitely a water baby. Here I have decided the diaper is counterproductive and that it needs to come off. Photo by daddy.

We went outside and played in the rain the other day, and Adelaide had a great time. She did find this leaf and wanted to chew it...okay, yeah, I snapped some photos before I took it away. It was too cute!

And here is Will, in a poster that is very him. I like how this one turned out...I may fiddle with the lighting in the picture a little, but overall, this I think is a neat one.

I made this with a really cool application for flickr. I have a badge on here that you can click on to see my newest photos. I update it more religiously than my blog (sorry! but it is a lot easier to upload photos than to write entries!) If you are interested in frequent updates and photos of the kids, I would recommend you bookmark my flickr homepage. Anyway, here is a fun montage of laila.
