North Jersey's Answer to Texas BlueBonnets

In the early spring, a fellow blogger and friend Kyle posted about the bluebonnets in Texas, and how it is prime photo opps for babies... I had him in mind when I took Abby out in our back yard to sit in the fallen blooms of our Cherry tree.

Let me say first that a) I took almost 200 pictures in less than 30 minutes this afternoon, and the reason for that is b) our new camera totally rocks my socks off... I tried to keep my selection small for the blog... enjoy.














watching the falling blooms ... ooo, gravity





Is mommy looking? I wanna eat one of these flowers...

hey, give that back!



Happy Mother's Day Momma!







I love this shot...

and this one...







she has her daddy's furrowed brow...




what a face!


abby is not mean.. it's just bright outside.

our back yard...

Still just fooling around...

The next set will have a lot more pics, and is a more serious attempt to take some nice pictures. This is just me and the bean hanging out watching the Mets beat up on the Brewers.

Just the beginning

These are just a few shots I took messing around and getting used to the new machine. It is a bear and is going to make me look like a much better photographer than I actually am... but not in this set... but man she is getting big...

New Addition

Well, we broke our camera in a particular way that is impossible to fix... so we got a new one because our little girl was growing so fast before our eyes and we were missing all the photo opps! Not to mention my readership has plummeted since I've not been able to post pics of the baby...
further proof that my life is not nearly as interesting apart from her. :-)

In light of this... new images will follow!

UPDATE: For all the "Nerds" - here are the camera Specs:

Trueman's "Theology for All" Lectures

I am posting this from the Reformation 21 website, mostly because I want to remember that it is there so I can go back and listen when I have some time. Feel free to avail yourself as well.



The following lectures were delivered in September 2006 by Carl Trueman at the Theology for All Conference in the UK:

• Theology and Everyday Life: The Reformation and Beyond
• Contemporary Challenges to Theology and Church Life
• What should a theological church look like?
• Q&A

I have a serious man-crush on Carl Trueman.
