Through our eyes

David and Photography go way back.

When he was a young boy, his dad published a newspaper in their hometown of Seminole, and David would follow his dad to wherever there was newsworthy happenings, and take the accompanying photographs.

In college, he took jobs as a photographer for a myriad of events/occasions to help out with daily expenses and for paying tuition.

Recently, he acquired a Widelux panoramic camera, and this has brought with it a bunch of adventures for us, or as David calls them, "Photo Safaris".

I'm not posting HIS photos on this blog, but I WILL post photos of the man working behind the scenes. :)

Test post

Just fiddling with posting from the Blogger app on the Droid...

And seeing if I can add
a pic of the sweet face that I wake up to in the mornings - this one's of him fiddling with the alarm clock/white noise machine.

Men in Plaid

At church on Sunday,

David and Jaxon wore matching outfits, but what we didn't expect was for Johnny to have the same shirt in mind!

Cabin Fever

We were/are part of the "Historic Winter Storm of 2011"


Photobucket


At least that's what NASA calls it - and seeing how it swept over 30 (+ ) states and has affected over 100 million Americans, I don't blame them.

Since the storm hit late Monday evening/night, we've been pretty much stuck at home.

The ominous clouds rolled in late Monday evening, and the grocery stores were packed and the traffic was crazy!


Photobucket


The weather outside is just unbelievable.

We have been having highs in the teens and lows in the single digits - and that's before you add in the wind chill, which makes it go into the minuses.


Photobucket


Snow is fluffy and pretty, and winter weather is a nice break from all that Texas heat, but put them all together, and things can get PRETTY dicey and problematic.


Photobucket


Our plumbing encountered some of the aforementioned problems, and so we have been without water in the house for a number of days now. How do I get by? Well, we have snow snow and more snow!

We have pretty much been at home since Monday evening ( It's Friday night ), and methinks the boy has a touch of cabin fever.


Photobucket


It's been too cold and icy to let Jaxon go out and play or for photo ops, so I got him a bucket of snow to play with, indoors.

Never fear, the forecast for tomorrow says 47 F, which means we just may be able to make it to see Grandad in the afternoon yet!
