Photography

Here are just a few of the MANY MANY pictures Jeremy has been taking lately.  He has also been taking LOTS of videos but those just take too much time to upload.  

His subject?  Tyler.  

I put a few pictures below not for the cuteness factor but because it's a demonstration of Jeremy playing the photographer/director role (minus the video).  And really this blog serves as my kid journal.  

Tyler has become Mr. Mischeif.  He is always getting into things.  And I love that Jeremy is the one who caught this picture.

Jeremy's beloved yellow blanket and Phillip.  On a side note, I didn't crop or manipulate any of these pictures.  Not that they would blow someone out of this world but the boy is 4. 

This picture makes me laugh because Jeremy had Tyler pose with his rabbit.  I wish I had seen Jeremy telling Tyler what to do as he placed Phillip on his back.

"That's My Business! Reading!"

From time to time, over the fast several months, Jeremy would tell me what something said.  Usually it was something like a sign we'd seen a million times so I figured he just memorized it.  Today he brought something to me and told me what it said.  So then I asked him to read the apple sauce jar.  He read Tree Top.  So then I pulled out a beginner reader book and....HE READ ME THE BOOK!  I was so excited.  He has known all is letter names and sounds for about a year but we haven't really tried to teach him how to put it all together and read.  After all he was only three when he knew them all and since I was spending so much time with Riley reading I figured I'd hold off with Jeremy.  So I was praising him and I told him that I couldn't believe he could read.  Jeremy was so pleased with himself and feeling oooooh so happy.  Then he says, "That's my business!  Reading!"  

Zachary

Here is Zach when he was a week and a half old.  He had already lost quite a bit of hair in the front.  Zachary is now a month old.  It goes by too fast!
