Easter Baskets and Bunnies...

 We decided since Sunday is always CRAZY and TJ is never around when the kids wake up that the Easter Bunny would come Friday night.  It was so much better and I don't know why it took the Bunny so long to figure that out!  Works much better for those in ministry (especially a portable church!)

 Easter Bunny wanted to make sure the kids were ready for baseball season!

That afternoon some friends had an Easter party.  It was a ton of fun and perfect weather!

Eric and Emily... she is precious!

 Sweet friends

An Easter Bunny came to visit...

 Am I too old to get my picture with the Easter Bunny?

 FUN day... ready for Sunday!

Pine Lakes...

I had my camera in my car so I took it into lunch with us at Pine Lakes and after lunch managed to keep these wild monkeys tame for a very short amount of time but got in a little practice with my camera and Lightroom ... working on my focus so bear with me...

Working On It...

So I took a photography class in March on how to shoot in manual (M) on my "big camera".  My sweet friend, Adele, who has taken our family pictures multiple times started teaching classes to simplify the process for those of us who need a "crash course" in how to actually USE the camera we spent so much money on.  You can read about that class HERE... But then she offered a class on Lightroom, which is POST-processing of the photos.  I love it and learned a lot just need the time to practice more often.  So I took some pics then edited them a little.

You would not believe how dark this photo was before editing... 

Hope to get better over time...I'm working on it...
