A bit over a week ago, Logan finished up his last “swimming” lesson – so now he’s an expert! 😉 It was cute to watch him, and since his first pool experience, he’d gotten a lot more comfortable in the water – even when Ashley dunked him! The lighting in the pool area could only be described as “YUCK!” so I converted all the images to black and white. I sure did appreciate having my 70-200mm f/2.8 lens here though – it made things much easier.
Yes indeed, I got a little behind on processing the many photos I take, so here are some images back in December. As always, there are some cute ones! It’s amazing how much he’s changed in three months – he has 200% more hair now!
“Look at the thing of value as what’s underneath the money. If you want to generate more income, then think of how you can generate more value, not more money. Also recognize that both value and wealth come in more forms than just money. You can be financially wealthy but be bankrupt in true friendships, peer respect or health.”
This is a great blog post about what money really is, and how money and value are not the same thing. Worth a quick read.
Also from last night, we tried giving Logan some of the food that we were eating for dinner – the kind that he could munch on safely at least. He was pretty funny with the green beans; at first he made a face and didn’t like it so much, but that quickly passed and he was munching away happily – it probably felt good on his gums…he’s now working on his 5th tooth, and the past three have come in rapid succession.
After his nightly bath, Ashley dries Logan off in a little towel that has a hood – when he has this on his head, I always tell him that he looks like he’s wearing a wizard’s cowl. Not even Harry Potter was this cute!
True artists – people who create something from nothing – are amazing to watch. The ability of a musician to pull notes from the air and combine them into a unique melody is fascinating to me. Marie Digby is one of my favourite artists, and watching her creative process is inspiring.
“I really wanted to put up a video for an original song because I’ve done a few covers for the last videos. Then I thought to myself, I’ve never put up a video as to how I write songs. There’s no magic to it really but I thought some of you may find it kind of interesting to see how it goes. This was one inspired by my incredible grandmother who has been ill but has been fighting to stay alive…This song is actually not a downer! It’s supposed to be inspirational and recognize how strong the human spirit can be…”
This past weekend we had a chance to go to the Calgary Zoo, which would be Logan’s first visit to the zoo, and my first opportunity to really test out my new 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens. It was a lot of fun!
