shooting into the sun

I just can't resist it. I love shooting into the sun and someday I'm going to figure out how to do it right!! I want all the sun rays without the haze. There must be some kind of post processing...

For dress up today we had a brides maid, pirate, wizard, and dragon all playing together. I got invited to be the grandma.

parenting

It's getting harder you know... this parenting business. When they were babies my frustration was simply lack of communication. "If you could only tell me what you need or want I will gladly get it for you!"Now they can tell me exactly what they need or want. Oh no, no, no.. that is definitely not the problem anymore.
I've decided it all comes down to teaching self control. Controlling one's thoughts and words and actions seems to be the key. But before I can teach it, I have to actually do it myself. Heaven help me!!
The deeper I get into this parenting business, the more convinced I am that being a parent has less to do with raising them and much more to do with becoming a grown-up myself.
